Dr. Christina Burrows is a Clinical Neuropsychologist and an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UT Health).
Dr. Burrows specializes in neuropsychological evaluation of memory disorders in adults and older adults. She provides cognitive assessments of dementias (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia), stroke, cerebrovascular disease, brain injury, movement disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease), multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions.
Research interests include deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment-resistant depression. Other clinical and research interests include cognition in neurological and psychiatric conditions, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and biomarker correlates of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Dr. Burrows and the staff at the Neurocognitive Disorders Center strive to provide patients with a positive atmosphere, patient-centered care, and a generally supportive experience.
Collaboration with Referring Physicians
Physicians at UTHealth Houston Neurosciences engage referring physicians in the care of their patients, keeping them informed about patient progress throughout the evaluation and treatment process. After a patient’s treatment, referring physicians receive a summary and a plan for follow-up. Our physicians encourage continued communication about each patient.
