Let Us Help You With Your Study


Extensive Clinical Research Experience

Dr. Lane and Dr. Weinrib have over 30 years cumulative research experience and have worked together as a research team for more than 10 years. In addition to their extensive experience, all of our providers (principal investigator and sub-investigators) are on site Monday - Friday and are available to address any questions or concerns research participants have at any time. Our team does not believe in conducting research where the PI and Sub-Is are not familiar with every single person enrolled, and we hold weekly meetings with the entire team to discuss all study participants, protocol updates, or any other applicable information regarding protocol training and patient safety. 

Multiple Coordinators on Every Study

All study coordinators are trained on and are familiar with every protocol. While every study has a lead coordinator, all studies have at least two backup coordinators to assist and help troubleshoot. Doing this helps guarantee that deadlines are met, data is accurate, and correspondence is prompt. Further, this gives study participants the option of working with whomever they choose and aids in retention.

Minimal Screen Fails. Maximum Retention.

The majority of our study participants are longtime patients of our doctors, and because we have extensive medical histories available, we are able to minimize screen failures. Knowing our patients well also helps ensure that participants will complete the study, as all study participants receive comprehensive care from their regular doctor. Lastly, our site utilizes Greenphire's clincard system for payment, which allows us to pay participants at every study visit without hassle, further aiding in patient retention.
