Our gastroenterologists take part in clinical research studies of new treatments for digestive and liver diseases. A clinical trial may give you access to a treatment that is not yet widely available, with close follow-up from our team.
Studies of new treatments for adults with ulcerative colitis.
Studies of new treatments for adults with Crohn's disease.
Including fatty liver with liver scarring (fibrosis).
An allergic inflammation of the esophagus that can cause trouble swallowing.
For people with ongoing heartburn or reflux symptoms.
Each study has its own requirements, such as age, diagnosis, and past treatments. Our research team will check whether you may qualify before you decide.
No. Taking part is voluntary, and you can leave a study at any time without affecting your regular care with us.
Call our Temple City office at 626-898-4560 and ask about clinical trials, or ask your gastroenterologist at your next visit.
PPO & Medicare welcome
Our board-certified gastroenterologists are in network with most PPO plans, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, plus Medicare. Most PPO plans need no referral, and healthy adults 45 and older can often schedule a screening colonoscopy without an office visit.
