Diagnosis and treatments

We specialize in treating several conditions and developing a personalized treatment plan.

Treatments provided include:

• ALS clinic
  Patients in our ALS clinic benefit from having all multidisciplinary care and follow-up communications managed by an ALS nurse coordinator. Patients receive care from several medical specialties in one visit and in one location to reduce the hardship and burden of travel.
• Aphasia camp
  Aphasia camp is a three-day retreat that offers people with aphasia and their significant other activities and resources to increase social interaction and enhance communication success.
• Epilepsy care
  The team treats focal and generalized seizures as well as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. We use an epilepsy monitoring unit to evaluate, diagnose and treat seizures. During the stay, patients have a continuous video electroencephalogram (EEG), which measures vital brain signs and provides an audiovisual recording of activities.
• Headache care
  Patients with cluster, migraine, tension and secondary headaches can find relief for their pain.
• Multiple sclerosis (MS) care
  The MS Center provides full-service care with treatments and therapies tailored to the effects of multiple sclerosis and the support and education needed for patients with MS and their families.
• Neurosurgery
  Learn more about the procedures and surgeries the neurosurgery team offers to treat nervous system issues, including your brain, spinal cord and spinal column.
• Stroke care
  The team evaluates and consults with patients who have had a stroke. In addition to serving as an information resource, the Stroke Clinic works with patients and family members to prevent stroke by identifying and controlling risk factors.
• Vagus nerve stimulation
  While medications are typically the first line of treatment for patients with epilepsy, vagus nerve stimulation may be helpful for those who continue to struggle with breakthrough seizures.

FAQ

What should I bring for my first appointment?

For your first appointment, bring your current prescription information or medical records from non-Mayo Clinic Health System facilities. Complete a medical records release form to authorize the transfer of health records from another healthcare facility to us. Visit our Medical Record Forms page for this form and other forms in multiple languages.

How long does an appointment take?

The appointment length depends on the patient's specific medical situation or concern. We recommend calling your preferred neurology location to inquire about the appointment length for your health needs.

Does Mayo Clinic Health System offer virtual visits?

Virtual visits are offered in neurology. These visits may be scheduled through the patient portal, the Mayo Clinic App or by calling your preferred neurology location.

What is a primary stroke center?

Mayo Clinic Health System locations in Eau Claire and La Crosse, WI, are certified by The Joint Commission as Primary Stroke Centers. This means we have staff, guidelines and resources in place to quickly and correctly treat stroke patients.

Does Mayo Clinic Health System offer telestroke services?

Yes, telestroke services are available through Emergency Medicine. Telestroke connects local emergency providers with doctors who have advanced training to remotely evaluate a patient who has had an acute stroke. This increases the possibility that stroke patients receive clot-dissolving therapies, called thrombolytics, or other clot-retrieving procedures in time to reduce disability and death resulting from stroke. Visit the Emergency Medicine page for details.

What is an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit?

Our hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, includes an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), which is specially designated to evaluate, diagnose and treat seizures.

While in the EMU, an electroencephalogram is used to measure vital signs and provide an audiovisual recording of activities for your care team to review. The team will use the information in developing a treatment plan that works for you.

You can move freely around the room during your stay, which could last up to five days. Your neurologist will decide if an EMU stay is appropriate for you.

What can participants expect from Aphasia Camp?

Aphasia Camp is a camp for those with aphasia along with their significant other. It is an annual fall weekend retreat that provides activities and resources to increase social interaction and foster communication success within a supportive camp setting.

Speech pathologists, physical therapists and occupational therapists host the camp. Campers will receive resources for living successfully with aphasia that can be applied to daily life.

Call 715-838-1725 for more information. Register for Aphasia Camp.

What are my payment options, and do you offer financial assistance?

Visit the billing page of your preferred location for information on insurance, billing and payments.

We serve patients in difficult financial circumstances and offer financial assistance to those who have an established need to receive medically necessary services. Learn more about financial assistance options.

Can you provide a second opinion?

Yes — call the appointment number at your preferred neurology location. See What should I expect during my first appointment? for tips on how to prepare.

Do you have an after-hours number in case of emergency?

Always call 911 in case of an emergency. For after-hours help with other issues, get virtual care 24/7 through the Primary Care On Demand app or review our convenient care options.
