LAKE FOREST Drs. Charulatha Nagar, Laura Goldstein and Ian Katznelson, all neurologists, have joined the staff of Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital as part of the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation.
Northwestern Lake Forest Hospitals aim is to build a neurology group that is able to provide both inpatient and outpatient treatment to those who are in need of immediate and more elective neurological care, said Dr. Mchael Ankin, the hospitals chief medical officer. We want patients who come to the hospital to have immediate access to physicians who are experts in any number of neurological conditions, from migraines and stroke, to cognitive and memory disorders.
Nagar, board certified in neurology, has been seeing patients in Lake Forest for more than seven years. She is fellowship trained in neuromuscular disorders and clinical electromyography from Washington University School of Medicine and has over a decade of clinical research experience, with an interest in clinical trials and vascular neurology. Beyond her work at the hospital, Nagar sits on a stroke support group, where she counsels stroke victims and their families.
A native of Michigan, Goldstein moved to suburban Chicago in 1990 to treat area residents with a range of neurological disorders. She is board certified in neurology and electrodiagnostic medicine, which evaluates the peripheral nervous system. She is a graduate of University of Michigan Medical School, where she also did her residency before completing a fellowship in clinical electrophysiology at the University of Iowa. Goldstein joins NWLF from Northwest Community Hospital, Arlington Heights, where she has been the chief of neurology since 2008 and director of the hospitals stroke medical program since 2007.
Katznelson, a graduate of the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, will join the NWLF staff later this year. He is board-certified in neurology, clinical neurophysiology and sleep medicine. Katznelson completed his residency at Washington University in St. Louis and is fellowship trained in clinical neurophysiology from Rush University Medical Center, Chicago. He brings more than nine years of experience to his new position, including three years as the medical director of the sleep lab at Resurrection Medical Center, Chicago.
