The Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic is a highly integrated,
collaborative department of adult and pediatric neurologists who
specialize in the research, diagnosis and treatment of over 500
conditions and diseases affecting the nervous system.
More than 80 specialists provide both one-time evaluation and continuing
care for patients with neurologic disease. Close collaboration with
specialists in pediatric and adolescent medicine, speech pathology,
neurosurgery, psychiatry and psychology, pain management, sleep
disorders, and physical medicine and rehabilitation offer Mayo Clinic
patients comprehensive care.
The Neurology staff at Mayo Clinic in Rochester includes seven
neurologists who specialize in peripheral nerve disease. Each consultant
has considerable experience in evaluating and treating patients
with complex nerve disorders, and each has his own particular interests,
expertise and approach to patient diagnosis and management. All
fellows have found this varied exposure very educational, which
then allows fellows to develop their own style for evaluating and
managing patients.
The staff has collectively published hundreds of manuscripts in
peer-reviewed journals and contributed towards many well-known books.
The Peripheral Nerve Division at Mayo Clinic specializes in the
diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve disorders affecting
the extremities. A peripheral nerve pathology laboratory is active
in reading nerve biopsies from Mayo and elsewhere. The Peripheral
Nerve Division has active basic laboratory and clinical research
programs which strive to understand the cause of peripheral nerve
disorders and develop more effective therapies.
Mayo Clinic's Nerve Neuropathology Laboratory produces more than
500 reports per year and its Sensation Laboratory and Autonomic
Laboratory evaluate more than 2,500 patients annually.

to interact with experts from other academic centers and are relieved
from clinical assignments to do so.
