Center Overview

Facility Description
Our outpatient clinic is in Maitland, Florida, just outside Orlando’s city limits, allowing us to draw from a population of more than two million people. Only ten minutes from downtown Orlando, we are easily accessible via the major transportation arteries in our area.
In addition, Florida Clinical Research Center is fortunate to have the first research site in Lake County, which has a population of over a quarter million. Located in Leesburg, FL, within the Lifestream hospital complex, this branch is home to our inpatient studies. The hospital provides regular access to day treatment consumers and those in the inpatient units. We are also excited to announce the inauguration of an outpatient clinic in Lake County in 2008 as well. This clinic is located in Lady Lake and will offer a broad spectrum of studies to an extensive population of participants in this area.

Investigator Experience
Our physicians and psychiatrists specialize in the areas of anxiety, ADHD, depressive disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar, insomnia, and other conditions. The staff members have working relationships with other local medical professionals in the event a particular protocol requires the participation of a doctor who is not on staff (e.g. neurologist, ophthalmologist, etc.)
