Neurology

Providing children with diagnosis and treatment of brain and nervous system disorders such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy and muscular dystrophy.

Your child’s well-being is important, and our board-certified pediatric neurologists understand this. They are dedicated to eliminating or limiting the effects of brain and nervous system disorders on your child’s life.

Your child’s pediatrician will work with a neurologist to deliver quality care where, when and how you want it by offering:

• Local access to specialists in person or via telemedicine.
• Care backed by the specialists and care team of Marshfield Children’s Hospital in Marshfield.
• Seamless care through inpatient and outpatient treatment options.

Noah shows anything is possible

Noah was born with spina bifida, a condition which causes the spinal cord to form incorrectly. He has undergone 19 surgeries at Marshfield Children’s Hospital and endured many hospital stays. Noah also has a shunt to control his hydrocephalus, a complication of spina bifida which causes fluid to build up on the brain. 

Even though Noah primarily uses a wheelchair, he’s never let that stop him. 

Noah enjoys sports, camping, fishing, telling jokes, and helping others. He inspires everyone he meets by sharing his story and proving that with grit, determination and kindness, anything is possible.

Our neurologists treat many conditions in both inpatient and outpatient settings including:

Child Development Center

Marshfield Clinic’s Child Development Center offers comprehensive care for children with complex neurological and early childhood behavioral problems.

The Child Development Center consists of pediatric specialty clinics to meet your child's needs. Multidisciplinary teams evaluate medical and neurologic factors affecting development, then tailor an individualized plan for your child using medical and community resources.

Neurosurgery

Additional pediatric services are provided by specialties that see adult and pediatric patients at Marshfield Clinic Health System. Your child’s pediatric neurologist will work with the neurosurgery team to treat any conditions that may require surgery.
