Testimonials
Phase I Schizophrenia Study Sponsor
We have been extremely pleased with Dr. [David] Walling’s [CNS] sites performance as a “rescue” site for
our phase I schizophrenia study. We will use you again for any new early phase opportunities we have.
Phase I Schizophrenia Study Sponsor
Both [Dr. David Walling] [CNS] site and the CRO have done topnotch work and we’re very pleased.
Phase I Schizophrenia Study CRO
From your [Dr. David Walling][CNS] presentation at the bid defense meeting I could tell you are a
cohesive, well organized and efficient team but I did not realize to this extent!! Your turnaround time
on the ICF and IRB submission is amazing!
Phase I Alzheimer’s Study CRO
We could not have achieved this important milestone without your [Dr. Omidvar and CNS Phase I Unit]
tireless efforts to reconcile data, resolve queries and approve eCRF pages. It is a testament to your skills
and dedication to have completed all of this while enrolling patients, entering new data and working
with your monitor at monitoring visits and through remote source verification. We state the obvious
when we say we could not have done this without you!
Phase I Multiple Sclerosis Study Sponsor
Dr. [Nirav] Patel’s [CNS] site has been nothing short of great and we’re really happy with them. They’ve
been one of our “go to” sites thus far so I’m very pleased. Dr. Patel was one of our best enrollers and a
great site to work with.
Phase I Migraine Study Sponsor
Dear Dr. [Omid] Omidvar [CNS], We were happy with your site and your recruitment was the best among
all the sites for this study. It was a pleasure working with your group on this study. We will definitely
consider you for our future studies.
