Overview

About

Paul Schulz, M.D., is a professor of neurology at McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).

He received his combined BA-MD degrees from Boston University in 1984. He did a medical internship there, and moved to Baylor College of Medicine for his residency in Neurology. He stayed for a laboratory fellowship in cellular neurophysiology after which he became an assistant professor.

Later, he was an associate professor of neurology, neuroscience, and translational biology and molecular medicine. Dr. Schulz was also the vice chair of education for neurology, the deputy chair of the Methodist neurology service, and directed the Cognitive Disorders Clinics at Baylor and the Houston Veterans Administration Hospital.

Dementia Program
In 2010, Dr. Schulz moved to Mischer Neuroscience Institute, where he sees patients who have cognitive, behavioral, or mood disorders. His group is investigating risk factors for dementia in order to understand why it develops, including both environmental and genetic factors.

They use imaging, epidemiologic, and genetic approaches and have identified several risk factors. They are also investigating ways to diagnose dementia earlier, perhaps before symptoms develop, in order to determine whether interventions in the presymptomatic stage might delay or prevent the development of dementia.

His group has early data suggesting that the treatment of some risk factors may reduce the probability of developing dementia. Dr. Schulz has received numerous awards and has been an invited speaker at major scientific meetings worldwide. He has been extensively published in the scientific literature and has been featured on television and radio shows.

Outstanding visit


Apr 1, 2025

During our visit, they treated us like we were their only clients/ patients in the room and were extremely nice and Dr. Schulz is the best. Of course, we'll recommend him to everyone, not only our family. We are so grateful to find him. Thank you.

Very cordial. Communication was excellent. Felt like I was in good hands with Dr Schulz.

Billing is very messy, hard to understand. Seeking explanation = medication being held hostage. Never ever see Dr Schulz or anyone else for 7-8 mths at a time. We only hope & pray the Legembi is working. CAIN & helpers are very nice!

I felt very comfortable with this visit.

Our experience at UT Health was a positive one, and we are thankful because we waited patiently for 8 months. We were greeted politely at the front desk. Then we were taken back to our room by Rosa, Dr. Schulz's assistant who was extremely courteous. Dr. Schulz and his assistant spent approximately 1.5 hours with us going over our medical records, PET scans, MRI and more. Dr. Schulz talked with us on our level so we clearly understood what he was saying. Additional blookwork was ordered and also a sleep study to hopefully find out more findings. We were extremely pleased with our first visit. Thank you for going above and beyond!

Dr. Schulz was the most amazing, Intelligent caring doctor I have seen in the 2 years since I was diagnosed with Alzheimers. What a great asset to your hospital. I left my appointment happy and hopeful and more confident!!.

Dr. Schulz and his team treat everyone with respect and care. They listened attentively to our questions and took time to answer them completely. They seem truly interested in my husband's health and wellbeing. I feel like we are in good hands!

I was very happy with our visit. I would like to chat with someone about the referral process it was less than ideal. Process improvement is warranted with the referral department due to the back and forth with fax number and locations. If someone could reach out I would be happy to give some constructive feedback.

The visit was handled exactly the way I would try to treat every patient. Not rushed, not too complex yet every question was answered. I feel much better about coping with my problem and knowing there are treatment strategies available. I apppreciate both the doctor's attitude and help and the team's effort, attitude and caring nature.
