Neurologist Serving Algonquin, Illinois
Algonquin patients are seen at the Crystal Lake, Illinois office, a short drive north. Algonquin is a service area rather than an office location, and telehealth may be available for suitable follow-up visits.
Service Area
NeurologistCare serves patients from Algonquin and surrounding communities. Algonquin is a NeurologistCare service area and is not a physical NeurologistCare office location. In-person appointments are available at the established practice locations in Crystal Lake and Woodstock, Illinois and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and telehealth may be available when appropriate.
Nearest in-person location: Crystal Lake, IL — 815-356-7494.
Why Algonquin patients seek neurological care
Many are working adults juggling a commute and a family, and the symptoms that finally prompt a visit tend to be the ones interfering with work: headaches that cost several days a month, hands that go numb at a keyboard or on a steering wheel, or an arm injury on the job that left lasting weakness or tingling.
The goal in these visits is a specific diagnosis and a plan that fits a working schedule, including realistic follow-up intervals.
Neurological conditions evaluated
- Migraine and chronic headache
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and hand numbness
- Work-related nerve and neurological injuries
- Neck and back problems with radiating nerve pain
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Memory concerns in patients and in aging parents
- Seizures and unexplained episodes
- Dizziness and balance problems
Neurology care from Algonquin
Crystal Lake is the practical in-person location for nearly all Algonquin addresses. Patients who also care for a parent in Woodstock or McHenry sometimes prefer to consolidate visits at the Woodstock office instead — both are the same practice and the same physician.
What to expect
- Time to describe the problem without being rushed
- Examination focused on the affected nerves, spine or cognition
- EMG and nerve conduction testing when hand or limb symptoms warrant it
- Clear documentation when a work injury is involved
- A written treatment plan and follow-up interval
Brain health beyond medication
Sleep timing, hydration, caffeine, meal regularity, aerobic exercise and stress management measurably affect headache frequency, and cardiovascular risk control matters for long-term brain health even in patients in their thirties and forties.
Lifestyle measures support medical treatment and may reduce risk over time; they do not replace evaluation, diagnosis or prescribed therapy.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you have an Algonquin office?
- No. Algonquin patients are seen at the Crystal Lake, Illinois office, with Woodstock as an alternative.
- My hands fall asleep at night — is that carpal tunnel?
- It is a common pattern in carpal tunnel syndrome, but neck nerve compression and generalized neuropathy can look similar. Examination and, when needed, nerve conduction testing distinguish them, which matters because treatment differs.
- Can a neurologist evaluate an injury that happened at work?
- Yes. Evaluation focuses on the neurological diagnosis, treatment and documentation of findings.
- How soon can headaches be treated?
- A treatment plan is usually started at the first visit, with adjustments at follow-up based on how well attacks respond.
