Why Huntley patients seek neurological care
Huntley has a large population of adults over 55, and the questions that come up most often reflect that: memory that is not what it was a year ago, a hand tremor that shows up when holding a coffee cup, unsteadiness on stairs, or a fall that had no obvious explanation.
None of those findings are automatically part of aging. A neurological evaluation separates a treatable cause — medication effect, thyroid or vitamin problems, sleep apnea, blood pressure swings, inner-ear disease — from a progressive condition that deserves a specific diagnosis and a long-term plan.
Neurological conditions evaluated
- Memory loss, mild cognitive impairment and dementia
- Alzheimer's disease and related disorders
- Essential tremor and Parkinson's disease
- Dizziness, imbalance and recurrent falls
- Peripheral neuropathy, numbness and burning feet
- Migraine and other headache disorders
- Seizures and unexplained spells of altered awareness
- Stroke and TIA follow-up care
Neurology care from Huntley
The Crystal Lake office is generally the shortest drive from Huntley, and Woodstock is a practical alternative. Both are staffed by the same physician, so a patient can use whichever location is easier without restarting their care.
Because falls and memory visits often involve a spouse or adult child, appointments are scheduled with time for family to attend and ask questions.
What to expect at a first visit
- A detailed history of symptoms, timeline, medications and prior testing
- A complete neurological examination, including gait and balance
- Cognitive testing when memory is the concern
- Only the imaging or nerve testing that will change the plan
- A plain-language explanation of the working diagnosis
- A written plan and a scheduled follow-up
Brain health beyond medication
Exercise capacity, strength and balance training, sleep quality, blood pressure and glucose control, hearing, and staying socially and cognitively active are discussed at nearly every memory and movement visit — particularly for Huntley patients already active in community fitness and walking groups.
Lifestyle measures support medical treatment and may reduce risk over time; they do not replace evaluation, diagnosis or prescribed therapy.

Frequently asked questions
- Is there a neurology office in Huntley?
- No. Patients from Huntley are seen in person at the Crystal Lake or Woodstock, Illinois offices, and telehealth may be available for appropriate follow-up visits.
- Can a neurologist tell whether memory changes are normal aging?
- That is one of the most common reasons for a visit. Evaluation includes history, examination, cognitive testing and, when indicated, laboratory studies or imaging to identify reversible contributors before considering a diagnosis such as mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
- My tremor only appears when I reach for something. Is that Parkinson's?
- Not necessarily. Tremor that appears with movement often reflects essential tremor, while Parkinson's tremor is more typically present at rest. Distinguishing them changes treatment, which is why an in-person examination matters.
- Do I need a referral?
- Many patients are referred by a primary care physician and many call directly. Whether a referral is required depends on your insurance plan.
