Philosophy of Care
Through neuropsychological evaluation, I help patients understand their cognitive strengths and weaknesses, discuss causes of any cognitive changes, and provide recommendations for next steps. My goal is to help patients better understand changes they may have observed in daily life, develop ways to compensate for any changes, and provide compassionate care.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Fox is a neuropsychologist offering comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for a wide variety of neurologic conditions including Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. She also works with the UC Davis Health surgical intervention Deep Brain Stimulation Program and Comprehensive Epilepsy Program conducing pre- and post-surgical neuropsychological evaluations.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Fox's research focuses on cognition in a wide-variety of diagnoses. Currently, she is focusing on implementing an integrative technology and behavioral modification approach to promote cognitive health and functional independence in older adults.
