Spine MedTech Company (No. 01)
Chief Medical Officer
"As the CMO of a med-tech start-up completing an FDA-IDE study, finding a research site that can provide significant patient enrollment, has the independent research staff to ensure on time patient visits, complete all required documentation quickly and has experience in FDA studies and study audits is priority one. The research team at SAON lead by Dr. Pierce Nunley and Dr. Marcus Stone exceeds all of these priorities. SAON is a top 5 research group. I highly recommend for any research project."
Spine MedTech Company (No. 02)
Senior VP, Research & Technology
"Dr. Nunley, Dr. Stone and their team at SAON are stalwart supporters of innovation and novel technologies. Their strong focus on sound clinical evidence and their ability to publish credible research make them desired partners in the Spine MedTech space. The breadth of their experience and willingness to provide sage guidance draws me back to their team as a repeat collaborator."
Spine MedTech Company (No. 03)
Senior Vice President
"The SAON team is collaborative, transparent, and delivers results. They focused on collectively achieving our goals and doing everything the right way. They consistently worked with us after the completion of the study to present and publish our data, work with payers, and assist with our commercialization efforts. We will definitely be using SAON again."
Spine MedTech Company (No. 04)
Chief Executive Officer
"We were honored to work with Dr.Nunley, Dr. Stone, and team on our IDE studies. Patient care, enrollment, and follow-up throughout the studies were outstanding, which significantly contributed to our PMA approvals. They actively presented data at spine meetings, were engaged publishing the study results, and they assisted us with investor and strategic diligence. We are grateful for their support, and I highly recommend as a site for future clinical trials."
