Neurologist Serving Palatine, Illinois
Palatine patients are seen at the Crystal Lake, Illinois office, north along Route 14. Palatine is a service area rather than an office location.
Service Area
NeurologistCare serves patients from Palatine and surrounding communities. Palatine 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 appointments are available to patients located anywhere in Illinois or Wisconsin when clinically appropriate. Patients must be physically located in one of those states at appointment time.
Nearest in-person location: Crystal Lake, IL — 815-337-7100.
Why patients from Palatine seek neurological care
Headache and tremor are the two most frequent reasons. Headache visits often follow years of treating attacks as they come, without a preventive strategy. Tremor visits usually begin with a specific worry: whether the shaking means Parkinson's disease.
Memory evaluation is the third common reason, frequently prompted by an adult child noticing repeated questions or missed appointments.
Neurological conditions evaluated
- Migraine and other headache disorders
- Essential tremor and Parkinson's disease
- Memory loss, mild cognitive impairment and dementia
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Dizziness and balance problems
- Seizures and unexplained episodes
- Neck and back problems with nerve involvement
Neurology care from Palatine
The Crystal Lake office is a direct drive up Route 14 and is where Palatine patients are seen in person. Telehealth is available for selected evaluations and follow-up care when clinically appropriate, including some medication check-ins.
What to expect
- History focused on the pattern and timeline of symptoms
- Full neurological examination
- Tremor assessed at rest, with posture and with movement
- Cognitive testing when memory is the concern
- A written plan, including when to expect improvement
Brain health beyond medication
In tremor and Parkinson's care, exercise is not an accessory to treatment — aerobic activity, strength work and balance training are central to maintaining function. Sleep, nutrition and cardiovascular risk control are addressed alongside medication.
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 office in Palatine?
- No. Palatine patients are seen at the Crystal Lake, Illinois office.
- Does tremor always mean Parkinson's disease?
- No. Essential tremor is more common than Parkinson's disease and behaves differently on examination. Medication effects, thyroid disease and anxiety can also cause tremor.

- Generally when attacks are frequent, prolonged, disabling, or when acute medications are being used often enough to risk rebound headache.
