Neurologist Serving Lake in the Hills, Illinois
Lake in the Hills sits directly beside Crystal Lake, where the practice's Illinois office is located. Patients are seen there in person; Lake in the Hills itself is a service area rather than an office location.
Service Area
NeurologistCare serves patients from Lake in the Hills and surrounding communities. Lake in the Hills 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 patients from Lake in the Hills seek neurological care
Concerns tend to span two generations in the same household: a working adult with headaches, numb hands or back-related nerve pain, and an older parent with memory change or unsteadiness.
Because the office is minutes away, families often schedule visits for both, and continuity is easy to maintain over years rather than a single consultation.

Neurology care from Lake in the Hills
Crystal Lake is the nearest office and generally the most practical. Woodstock is an alternative for patients whose work or family routine takes them further north, and telehealth may be available for appropriate follow-up.
What to expect
- Review of symptoms, medications and prior imaging or nerve studies
- Full neurological examination including gait, sensation and reflexes
- Cognitive testing when memory is the reason for the visit
- Nerve conduction study or EMG when indicated
- A written plan, with lifestyle and medication elements both addressed
Brain health beyond medication
For neuropathy and memory alike, the modifiable factors overlap: blood sugar and blood pressure control, weight and activity, a Mediterranean- or MIND-style dietary pattern, treated sleep apnea, hearing correction, and staying socially and cognitively engaged.
Lifestyle measures support medical treatment and may reduce risk over time; they do not replace evaluation, diagnosis or prescribed therapy.

Frequently asked questions
- How far is the nearest in-person office?
- The Crystal Lake, Illinois office borders Lake in the Hills and is typically well under fifteen minutes away. There is no Lake in the Hills office.
- Can neuropathy be treated, or only managed?
- Both. When a treatable contributor is found — diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disease, a medication — addressing it can slow or improve the neuropathy. Symptom treatment is available regardless of cause.
- Can a neurologist evaluate memory problems in a parent?
- Yes, and family input is valuable. Bringing the person's medication list and specific examples of changes at home makes the evaluation considerably more accurate.
