Testimonials

“ I had never participated in a medical study before, so I had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, I was made to feel my well-being was far more important than the study. The entire staff at APG Research was professional and very kind. So much so I hated when the study ended. ”

Rollie
“ I recently participated in the depression research study at APG Research. Before coming to APG I had been struggling with depression for years. I could not afford to see a psychiatrist and was actually very intimidated. I was seeking care through my general medical practitioner. I thought my mediation was working okay but I always thought something was missing. I found out about the research study and signed up with some reservations. After speaking with Dr. Nadjafi , I knew I was doing the right thing. Now I am happy and thriving. Thank you APG Research and Dr. Nadjafi! ”

“ It’s been life changing being on the study. I’ve been made to feel part of the team. Every experience is positive, professional, and a promise (or hope) of a future that is brighter because of the team at APG. ”

ERM, Former Patient
“ My participation in the esketamine study has been not only life changing but a delightful and fascinating journey. From the beginning I have dealt with consummate professionals who not only care about accurately following the protocol but treating me like a precious part of the process. My needs, feelings, and comfort are always accommodated so I feel safe and cared for. ”

MSL, Former Patient
“ My experience with APG Research simply put, has been remarkable. Being able to participate in this clinical study for my treatment-resistant depression has been very transformative. I’m greatly appreciative of the quality of care the entire team takes. Everyone there is accommodating, attentive, knowledgeable and compassionate. Doctors Sasha Griffin and Morteza Nadjafi are also phenomenal providers. APG is exceptionally wonderful and truly a safe space! ”
“ Kaley and Dawn make me feel comfortable while I am here. They are very nice to me whenever I walk in and they make sure that everything is okay. When I first started the trial I was scared and they reassured me that everything would be fine and made sure I’m comfortable no matter what. Both Kaley and Dawn are warm hearted people that light up the room whenever they walk in. I’m really glad I got to work with them on this trial because it’s not like a doctor’s visit, it’s like seeing a friend. ”

SEC, Former Patient
“ Kaley, thank you for being so great. You are greatly appreciated and do an awesome job not only with the study but with my son. You always treat him like a person and not just a number in the study. ”
