The screening consent cover was only about one morphine pain killer and then the screening technicien rapildly talked about an opioide blocker that would be tested for adverse affects the night before the dosing. At the clinic arrival the first day of the study the techninicien in charge of reading the consant had an incomprehensible english saying one english word and one chinese word. It's only during the doctor check up once inside the clinic that I've learned that I would be dosed with one morphine pill and three opioide blockers pills to counteract the effect of the drug making it a four dosing study but getting payed only for one dosing. In no case I was worned that a 30 mg morphine pills is a very strong dosing and that I should expect the worst of the side effects.As predicted with the strong dosing and the combination of both drugs side effects I've felt very druggy for 36 hours in the clinic and I've felt very weak and had stomach cramps for 48 hours after I was out of the study to a point where I had to sleep in my car until the middle of the afternoon before driving back home to Montreal. All that for only 500$.On my final check appointement I've told the screening clerk that I would be at the clinic between 13:00 and 14:00 and they knew I was comming from Montreal. At the appointment I had tho wait until 16:00 to learn that there was no doctor available to finalise the study and that I would need to come back once again from Montreal with no extra compensation to patch their poor staffing organisation and until then they will withhold my check until my final doctor appointment.I'm now in the process if writing a formal notice to recuperate my money with no further conditions since I've complied with all the commitment that I've signed for in the consent.Do to the generalized lack of professionalism and the poor compensation money cheaper then what it was ten years ago this study was the last one where I was putting my health in the hands of a sketchy clinic like Pharma Medica Research.Study protocol no.: 2022-5266By Dr. Janice FaulknorSimon Vaillancourt

Staff are courteous and phone recruiters very good to disseminate study info and set up screenings. Any concerns are addressed in a timely manner. The call in results is still a major aggravation though as subjects block lines with multiple devices competing for a spot which increases the traffic and wait time 3x . No less than 40 minutes waiting on the phone and , just to get a standby position which I get every single time !!Hope numbers will one day soon be assigned automatically in accordance to medical screening numbers with no call ins.Pleassssssse change the subject numbering system !!!!!

Might be the best CRU in Toronto (since Apotex closed), but the bar" is set pretty low with the likes of Biopharma and Novum being competitors...these places are worse. At least Pharma Medica uses better separation in sleeping room's (and wraps around the beds for Covid and privacy) and the clinics are more spacious. Esp helpful during Covid. Oh

Very friendly and personable staff for the most part. Keeping appointments on time is sometimes of an issue eventhough you were on time for your appt, someone who comes in later, but has a scheduled time before you gets to be registered first. If you're late, you should wait.

Despite some good stuff , some of them thinking that they are working in prison and you are prisoners.They give you medication which may make sick ! They take your blood continuously ( which is ok and part of the study ) but then they treat you like s psycho prisoner or a soldier in army who you should wake up early morning and say ( yes Surgien)They don’t give a facility for have rest ans sleep after all those medicating and taking blood , not a good food , dirty environment and not clean …cold rooms .. don’t give you enough blanket .. not comfortable coaches to rest .. not good wifi ..

They always keep me in the loop with their studies. I'm very grateful for all the flexibility as I live far. They make a way for volunteers and care. Great place for studies. Staff is very nice.

Very nice clean environment, meet with a few staff seems very kind. I can only speak from visitation experiences but the way I was treated im sure clinic's are treated more.

Staff are professional and friendly.The management will address any issues and concerns.The food is great. They have a kitchen staff. The food does rotate, depending on how long your stay is.
