Wahlstrom completed his neurology residency at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, where he served as chief resident and scheduling chief. During his training, Rush University was ranked third in the nation for neurology and neurosurgery by U.S. News & World Report in 2022. He earned his medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine in 2021 and a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Michigan Technological University in 2008.
“I am thrilled and honored to serve people,” Wahlstrom said. “There are few things more rewarding than making someone’s life better through treating their ailments.”
A native of Marquette, Wahlstrom has deep family roots in the Upper Peninsula. “I grew up here and went to undergrad at Michigan Tech,” he said. “I love the splendor of the outdoors, the slower pace and the friendly people. Coming back to practice here feels like coming home.”
Wahlstrom was also drawn to UP Health System by the quality of its facilities and care teams. “When I interviewed here, I was so impressed by the people I met. A loved one of mine had an unfortunate event requiring hospitalization, and I found the care to be outstanding,” he said.
Outside of medicine, Wahlstrom enjoys traveling, fitness, staying up with the latest technology, and spending time with his family.
