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.
All patient experience ratings and comments are submitted by actual patients and are received and validated by a leading independent survey company, NRC Health.
Dr. Schulz is very knowledgeable and was thorough in my testing.
Everything was good.
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.
[...] Dr Shultz were both awesome !
Excellent communication and a great amount of time spent with me
Good experience.
I was extremely impressed and pleased.
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.
When we left the appointment, my Mom said, "That was actually kind of fun." She felt well cared for, and I did, too. Thank you!
Very good
I am having difficulty accessing my medical information from the portal. I will continue working on it. Overall the experience was very good.
Appreciate his kindness and willingness to help me promptly upon request!
Reaching you through the telephone has proved challenging on numerous occasions!
Feel comfortable and confident about entrusting my care to this doctor.
I always look forward to my visits with Dr. Schulz. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, he is very compassionate and has a great sense of humor.
I am pleased to have a team of professionals, caring for my health and keeping me informed
My experience was absolutely exceptional in every way and I wouldn't change a thing.
Always great, well done, professional. I'm a physician, I'm very glad I'm here
Dr. Schulz is a wonderful and compassionate physician who truly cares for his patients.
Our visit with Dr. Schulz and his staff far surpassed our expectations. They listened, explained and set up the plans according to our schedule. We look forward to participating in the studies.
All members of the staff were excellent in every way.
Dr. Schulz was kind, compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, patient, and thorough in sharing his findings and expertise -as were all of the members of his staff with whom my husband and I came in contact.
Even though my son was being very disruptive and unruly, never once did Dr. Schulz or anyone else looked like they were bothered by his behavior. I really admire his dedication to his patients.
Dr Schulz and his team were very attentive, responsive and knowledgeable. And especially patient! Always a pleasurable experience, (except for the topic matter) but I'm always intelligently informed of those topics I need to know. Fantastic physicians and support staff all around!
Generally quite satisfied.
Everything was perfect
Dr. Schulz. Took care of both of my folks and was very helpful and understanding through it all. I have tremendous gratitude for all he did for our family. I would not want anyone else to help me with my cognitive care.
Thank you very much!
