research for yourself & for future generations

Optimed’s Medical Director, Dr. Donald McNeil, opened the doors of Optimed in 1999 with our first infusion trial.

Since then, we have participated in over 1000 clinical trials and have grown our network to over 30 sites. Optimed’s network of sites span the country from Hawaii to New Jersey in a vast range of therapeutic areas. We have worked with virtually all institutional review boards, central labs and central patient recruitment vendors. We leverage the use of intuitive e-source and e-regulatory systems to allow for remote management of documents.
