Special Research Projects

In addition to the Leading Edge report, on your instructions, we can dig deeper. This includes interviews of leading physicians, both in person and on the phone, attendance at medical conferences where we interact with those conducting interesting research studies and ask them what they find most exciting about what they and about what others in their field are working on, and even, sometimes, interviews of patients that have undergone specific treatment protocols.

Think of us as your personal research team, dedicated to finding every possible option for your specific condition. We translate complex emerging medical science into clear, practical insights that you can use.

If you like help enrolling in a particular clinical trial — the process can be convoluted and cumbersome — we're also able and willing to help with that. And we can be your advocate during treatment in your interactions with your healthcare providers. Hospitals are bureaucratic institutions and they can sometimes try to turn patients into numbers and process us like widgets. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. On your instructions, we can be your squeaky wheel if you need us to.

We report at least weekly; more often if we come across important, time-sensitive information. Our engagement can last for one month or be part of an ongoing research effort during which we constantly keep you aware of the latest developments and support you in any way we can as you work your way through the trial or other treatment process.

The cost varies with how in-depth you'd like to go, but this service typically ranges from $5,000 to $20,000. Contact us to discuss further.
