Michael Wagner, MD

I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago and went to college at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.  I met my wife, Dana, during my medical residency at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois. We enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors. I am interested in cooking and locally sourced food. I grow all my own vegetables.
