I am looking for any advice on doctors and locations for Neurology

Posted by tcevers @tcevers, Oct 13, 2023

I am making an inquiry on the behave of my ex-husband. He has been experiencing hand tremors that started fairly abruptly about three years ago. The first of this past year he developed tinnitus and has constant headaches. He has been to multiple doctors (neurologist, ents, etc.) He has been told that it could possibly be Parkinson’s, but he does not have all the normal symptoms. He’s had numerous CTs and MRIs plus multiple other test. The tinnitus and headaches are taking their toll on him and making it impossible to function. He is desperate and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.

Can't beat Mayo Clinics in Rochester, Phoenix and Jacksonville. Cleveland Clinic is another specialty clinic/hospital.

@tcevers Hello and welcome to Connect. You can of course request an appointment at any of the Mayo Clinic campuses with Rochester, Minnesota being the original and largest campus with the most doctors. Often, it is hard to get appointments in Neurology because so many patients seek them. Another option is to seek an appointment at a Mayo Clinic Health System location if you find a specialist that you want to see. These are smaller community hospitals in western Wisconsin and northern Iowa that are connected to Mayo and can refer patients to the Rochester campus for evaluation. The locations can be found at https://www.mayoclinic.org/locations and if you scroll to the bottom, you'll find the Mayo Clinic Health System Hospital information.

First it is worth checking with billing and insurance to see if your insurance is accepted at Mayo. You can find that information here. https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/billing-insurance

I would like to share the website for the Michael J Fox Foundation which has lots of information related to Parkinson's Disease. https://www.michaeljfox.org/

This link may be used to request an appointment at any of the Mayo Clinic campuses. Someone from Mayo will call you back in a few days after you submit your information.
