Center Overview

One of the central activities of North Georgia Clinical Research is the evaluation of new therapies for many common medical problems that are faced by both women and men. Through our research, we help generate answers to important clinical questions, and translate those answers into treatment options for patients.

Our state of the art office is conveniently located within minutes of I-75 and I-575 in Woodstock, Georgia.

Patient participation is voluntary and research participants receive at no cost medical care during the study (care related to the study), medication, and may receive financial compensation after the study has been completed.

Benefits of participating in Clinical trials:

• Access to new medications before they become generally available.
• Study medication and diagnostic tests are free.
• Interaction with a friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced research team that is concerned about you and your health care needs.
• Satisfaction from being part of a research study with the goals of adding to scientific knowledge and helping other patients.
• Education on the medical problem being studied and treatment options.
• Regular monitoring of the specific medical problem being studied.

North Georgia Clinical Research was created in 2002 to pursue new clinical treatments over a broad range of medical problems, and to help promote and maximize health and wellbeing.

Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is that research is for the benefit of all of our community and patients. The safety and wellbeing of our participants is our foremost objective. We accomplish this by promoting collaborative interactions between participants and board certified medical physicians. We are focused on building a trusted reputation in the community. We also seek to provide up-to-date information for patients to help them manage their diseases and to assist in connecting patients with support groups, expert doctors, and clinical research opportunities.
