Why Barrington patients seek neurological care
A large share of visits from the Barrington area are second opinions. Patients arrive with a diagnosis already attached — mild cognitive impairment, essential tremor, neuropathy, chronic migraine — and want the reasoning behind it explained, the testing reviewed, and the treatment plan reconsidered by a physician who has time to talk it through.
The rest are first evaluations for memory change, tremor, headache, numbness, dizziness or unexplained episodes.

Neurology care from Barrington
Crystal Lake is a straightforward drive north and is the office most Barrington-area patients use. Parking and check-in are simple, which is part of the point — a specialist visit should not require navigating a large medical campus.
For second opinions, sending prior notes, imaging discs or reports ahead of the visit makes the appointment considerably more productive.
What to expect
- A full review of the existing diagnosis and the evidence behind it
- Independent neurological examination
- An honest statement of where the diagnosis is certain and where it is not
- Recommendations on which further testing is genuinely useful
- A written plan you can share with your other physicians
Brain health beyond medication
Cardiovascular risk control, aerobic and resistance exercise, sleep quality, dietary pattern, hearing, and cognitive and social engagement are treated as part of the neurological plan — especially in memory care, where they are among the few factors patients can act on directly.
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 a Barrington clinic?
- No. Barrington-area patients are seen at the Crystal Lake, Illinois office.
- Can I get a second opinion on a neurological diagnosis?
- Yes. Bring or send prior notes, imaging and test results; reviewing them is usually the fastest route to a useful second opinion and often avoids repeating studies.
- What is the difference between mild cognitive impairment and dementia?
- In mild cognitive impairment, testing shows measurable change but daily independence is largely preserved. Dementia involves cognitive decline significant enough to interfere with everyday function. The distinction affects monitoring and treatment decisions.
- Do I need a referral?
- Requirements depend on your insurance plan. Many patients are referred by their primary care physician and many contact the office directly.
