About us

Jamie J. Van Gompel, M.D., is a neurosurgeon at Mayo Clinic’s Rochester, Minnesota campus. His clinical focus areas include pituitary tumor outcomes, vestibular schwannomas, chordomas, esthesioneuroblastomas, skull base tumor outcomes, epilepsy, and cortical and deep brain stimulation for medically resistant epilepsy. Dr. Van Gompel publishes on clinical outcome projects centered on pituitary tumors, esthesioneuroblastomas, acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, chordomas, chondrosarcomas, spontaneous cerebral spinal fluid leaks, as well as skull base anatomy and approaches. He collaborates closely with colleagues from Mayo Clinic's Epilepsy and Neurophysiology Lab, participating in clinical work relative to brain stimulation as an alternative restorative therapy for epilepsy rather than ablative or resective surgery. Dr. Van Gompel's overall research goal is to develop the safest and most effective treatments for people with pituitary and skull base tumors and developing surgical options for patients with medically and surgically resistant epilepsy. Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, ranks among the Best Hospitals for Neurology and Neurosurgery in the U.S. News & World Report “Best Hospitals” rankings.
