Volunteer Medical Research 3221 South Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, FL 33952

"I have been part of the Volunteer Medical Research for maybe 3 yrs and it was such a great experience. I have seen such a huge difference in my health. I was part of the anemia study for a few years and I had such a great staff guiding me through the way. The staff were always there for me making sure I was taken cared of. Especially Amelia, the LPN who played a part in getting me into the study showed excellent service and kindess to her patients. I know if my health declines again, God forbid, I know I can count on this medical research for assistance, if need be. I would definitely recommend this to those in search of alternatives ways for receiving help."

"I found the staff at Volunteer Medical Research to be fantastic, warm and supportive. I took my trips to see them every 3 to 6 months for about 7 years - I feel like I've made friends for life. They weren't just helpful - they were really my advocates. They made sure I was being treated fairly and accurately, made unsolicited calls on my behalf - I'd happily go back for another trial if it were appropriate for me"

"Dr. Nandheesha Hanumanthappa is very throw. He explains everything in a very patient and calm manner. He allows you to spend as much time as you need asking questions and double checks to make sure that you understand what is taking place. His staff is excellent makes all necessary calls to remind you of appointments and labs as needed. In reference to my husband."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Kaveh for over 4 years. He has always impressed me with his thorough knowledge of my condition, careful monitoring and quick adjustments of my medications to ensure the safety of my kidney. When I was in the hospital for a non-kidney related illness, I found reassuring how frequently he and his staff visited me to personally review my test results and to encourage me as I recovered.

"These people really took care of my auntee when all the typical treatment had failed. Clinical research feels high-risk when you think about it, but when I learned what they were about (phase 3 and 4)... it's basically treatment that has been proven effective, they are just determining HOW effective. VMR really helped me understand the benefits of a clinical study."
