Research & Publications
Research Summary
My research is focused on understanding the association of sleep disturbances and psychopathology with cognitive and functional outcomes in later life, and particularly with the development of Alzheimer's disease. The ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to develop interventions to curb the burden of Alzheimer's disease, and more generally improve cognitive and functional trajectories.
Patient Ratings & Comments
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
