Testimonials

What our Patients say about our services

Artie Thompson

I am greeting with a warm smile each time of my appointment. Each of the nursing staff I come in contact with is very knowledgeable and concerned about the welfare of the patients. I personally have had Jacqueline speak to me concerning my water intake to help my kidneys, and my salt consumption. The monitoring program is very encouraging knowing that the staffing is aware of health changes and can correct thing before they get out of hand.

Barbara Deady

I signed up for a medical study and was accepted. Monroe Biomedical Research is conducting the study. Everyone that works there has been nothing but kind and polite. I feel very comfortable every time I am there. I look at it as my way to help society.

Terry Smith

Biomedical staff was very friendly, professional and concerned for my safety and comfort. I have used them several times, they are always the same, you can tell they like doing what they do.

Cynthia Baucom

The experience that I’m having because I’m still in the study is wonderful. They make you feel like they are your family from the girls at the window in front as you go in to the lab text just everyone over there. I enjoy and I can’t wait to continue my lab studies with them and in the future. And if they have anything that I can send my friends there to do my friends are going.

Matthew Pigg

I’ve been interacting with them for the past few months and ever interaction has been pleasant, professional, positive and helpful each and ever time. I can’t speak highly enough of the courteous staff of medical professionals and front of house. I am very appreciative of their efforts in working with me and allowing me to participate in the study I have been apart of.

Hypercholesterol study

The purpose of the study is to determine if the study treatment, called inclisiran, will be able to lower the LDL-cholesterol levels (also known as “bad cholesterol”) in adults with high cholesterol after about 5 months (about 150 days) of study treatment. LDL-cholesterol is the type of cholesterol, which can cause a disease of the blood vessels called atherosclerosis. 

Inclisiran will be compared to ezetimibe and placebo. “Placebo” looks like the other study treatments but has no active ingredients. “Ezetimibe” is an approved prescription medicine used to lower LDL-cholesterol in patients with high cholesterol levels. It belongs to a class of drugs called, “cholesterol absorption inhibitors.” This medicine may be prescribed to patients who have a high cholesterol level.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypercholesterolemia?
  • Hypercholesterolemia, also known as high cholesterol, is a medical condition characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is essential for the body to function properly. However, when there is too much cholesterol in the blood, it can accumulate in the walls of the arteries and form plaques. Over time, these plaques can narrow the arteries and make it difficult for blood to flow through, which can lead to various cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack and stroke.
What are the symptoms of hypercholesterolemia?
  • High cholesterol levels can cause a variety of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and heart attack. Some common symptoms of hypercholesterolemia include: chest pain, shortness of breath, heart attack, stroke, clogged arteries.
What is the treatment for hypercholesterolemia?
  • The treatment for hypercholesterolemia depends on the severity of the condition and other risk factors, such as age, family history, and the presence of other medical conditions. Lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet and exercising are also recommended. It is important to manage hypercholesterolemia to prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack and stroke. It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for hypercholesterolemia. Get in touch with us to detect the condition in early stages!
What are the causes of hypercholesterolemia?
  • There are many causes of hypercholesterolemia. Some common causes are genetics, diet, obesity, lack of exercise, medical conditions or medications and smoking. It is important to manage hypercholesterolemia to prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack and stroke.

What if I am uninsured?

What does investigational medication mean?
  • An Investigational medication (also known as investigational new drug) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for testing in people in a clinical study, but has not been approved for general use, distribution or sale. It is through clinical research that these medications receive full approval by the FDA.
