Through innovative clinical trials, PDMDC works to advance treatment options and improve healthcare by exploring the safety and effectiveness of new drugs, therapies, medical devices, and clinical and surgical methods. Our skilled clinical research team believes that the foundation of all healthcare advances start with our involvement in clinical research.
At PDMDC we understand that the choice of participating in clinical research is an important commitment and as such we take it upon ourselves to provide as much information as possible to our potential clinical research participants.

Patient, A.S.
"Dr Brillman was so wonderful to work with! She cared for my mom who had Lewy Body dementia. Not only did she care for mom as a patient, but also became an advocate for her, and advised me on her care. Dr Brillman was readily available whenever I needed her, and visited mom whenever I asked. Dr Brillman truly cared for mom and treated her more than just being a “patient”. I would highly recommend Dr Brillman. Her knowledge of dementia was vast and she offered us great help."
Caretaker, F.K.
