Research Summary
My major research interests are focused in three interrelated areas:
- identification of early risk and protective factors on later life cognitive health and daily function;
- prevention of age-related cognitive decline, memory loss, depression, and disability;
- study of the short- and long-term outcomes of cognitive intervention trials with children and with normal and impaired older adults.

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.
