Research & Clinical Trials

Welcome to Borland Groover’s Division of Research. Our clinic has been active in both internal and external funded research programs for over 10 years and our mission is to provide a basis of understanding and treating medical illnesses.  Several of our principle investigators came to the clinic after having vibrant academic careers, in basic and clinical research. Many of our investigators have been lead authors in cutting edge manuscripts in scientific journals.

We have a long history with many leading pharmacology research development concerns worldwide. We are actively involved in pharmacologic outcome clinical trials especially with new agents in early Phase II and Phase III. Currently, we are able to offer patients access to new drugs in clinical trials years before they become commercially available.

Our research group is strengthened by the clinic’s internal ability to package and provide radiologic, endoscopic, and infusion services on site at our facility. We are involved in device studies, investigating new forms of endoscopes and ablation techniques.

We have also done studies in other areas of health care, including anesthesia, women’s health, allergy and immunology. Many of our research projects have been presented nationally and internationally such as the presentation of our experience with double-balloon enteroscopy to the American College of Gastroenterology, and our experience with Sphincter of Oddi Manometry which was presented at Digestive Disease Week.

Be sure to read the publications written by our physicians on advancements and new findings in the area of gastrointestinal research.
