Center Overview

Cochise Clinical Research is a free standing clinical research center dedicated to the evaluation of investigational products that are targeted for use in a primary care setting.

Cochise Clinical Research began approximately 9 years ago as a part-time research center. Three years ago, we began doing research full-time and our center continues to grow and expand.

Our goals are to provide an opportunity for our patients to safely participate in the evaluation of new medical products which are not yet available for general use. We also strive to provide each pharmaceutical company with quality data that will allow proper and efficient analysis of their products.
