Balance problems care at Mayo Clinic
Your Mayo Clinic care team
Mayo Clinic's world-renowned balance problems teams include ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists; specialists in the hearing and balance system of the inner ear (audiologists), the brain and nervous system (neurologists), mental health (psychiatrists and psychologists), and physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatrists); and physical therapists as needed. These experts work together to provide exactly the care you need.
Having all of this subspecialized expertise in a single place, focused on you, means that you're not getting just one opinion, but getting several. Your care is discussed among the team, your test results are available quickly, and your appointments are scheduled in coordination.
What might take months to accomplish elsewhere can typically be done in only a matter of days at Mayo Clinic.
