Dr. Pearson sees  patients in General Neurology as well as more specialized clinics for those with changes in cognitive function that interfere with daily living.  Cognitive changes can include short term memory impairment, difficulty with language, or new and unusual behaviors without known psychiatric diagnoses; and can be seen in the context of dementia, stroke, traumatic brain injury or chronic diseases that can affect the brain.
