Our practice setting consists of three busy and well established Gastroenterologists in Tucson, Arizona. The center, which consists of medical offices and a certified surgery center, is dedicated to the care of GI patients. The convenience of the private surgical suites affords exceptional patient care, and at the same time, provides an excellent setting for clinical research.

The director of Research, Sam Moussa, M.D., F.A.C.S., has been involved in many research projects since 1996. In addition to a busy private practice, he has been the principal investigator on many studies and served as sub-investigator for many other studies.

Clinical Research Studies are accepted exclusive to the practice of Gastroenterology. Subjects for research are cultivated from the large practice population and studies are generally filled quickly. No outside advertising is usually required.

Corporate and medical office buildings include a state-licensed and Medicare-certified ambulatory surgery facility that is fully equipped for the safe performance of procedures. All procedure rooms are equipped with state of the art endoscopic equipment. The privately owned surgery center allows comfort for patients and flexibility for physicians to schedule procedures in a timely manner. Two adjoining buildings on campus have offices that provide ample accommodations for study coordinators; secure records, medication storage, and medication refrigerators. Adobe Gastroenterology, PC is immediately adjacent to Tucson Medical Center, the largest hospital in Tucson.
