From Suburban Research Associates
Suburban Research Associates is a clinical research site devoted to providing individualized care and treatment to our patients. We offer patients the alternative of new advanced treatments while helping the medical research field develop and grow. All of our research studies are FDA approved and participation is on a voluntary basis. Each patient is carefully evaluated and monitored to ensure the highest quality of care throughout the process. At the completion of a study, patients may choose to use our free aftercare services which include around 3 additional months of medication management by our psychiatrist. No insurance required to participate in our studies.
