The best measure of a firm’s success can be found not in what we say, but in what is said by those we serve:

“AMR’s track record on our most recent trial was very impressive; they enrolled 420 subjects in 4 weeks with an overall 95% retention rate over the 6-month study duration. Even though each AMR center is an individual site, the communication network among them was the key to delivering a standard message to all sites." — Avian Influenza Vaccine Trial, Project Director, CRO Pain

“I’ve been doing this job for 18 years and have met with literally thousands of customers. After all that, today was the single best customer visit I’ve ever had! I had high expectations going into the meeting today but you absolutely blew my expectations away. The combination of the incredible capacity and performance in clinical trials combined with your hospitality made this the absolute perfect day at work for me.” — Regional Scientific Director, Major Pharma Sponsor

“AMR sites were pivotal to the success of our 2008-2009 seasonal vaccine program. All AMR sites met or exceeded enrollment expectations. The variety of experience and expertise among AMR sites has helped us enroll a broad therapeutic range of clinical trials.” — Partnership Manager, Quintiles

“Especially when I have large studies that need large numbers of subjects enrolled quickly and with quality and good investigator oversight, I always involve AMR sites.” — VP, US Clinical Operations, ICON Clinical Research

“Your site worked as a cohesive team unlike any site I’ve ever been associated with. You met or exceeded every timeline without complaint. Your data was thorough and accurate; screen failures were minimal due to your excellent pre-screening. There is no one at your site who is not outstanding.” — Monitor, Pharmaceutical Sponsor

“I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with the most organized, most knowledgeable professionals in clinical research, with the most dedicated study coordinator and most responsive study team. I would like to add that you have far exceeded investigator involvement in all studies I monitored. It is not so often today to have quality work done, achieve high enrollment numbers, impeccable source documents, amazing pre-screening process as well as have the highest level of concern for patient safety.” — Monitor, CRO

“AMR sites are typically my highest enrollers and have exceptional retention and quality.” — Vice President, US Clinical Operations, CRO

“This is the most responsive and diligent group of sites I have ever seen with regard to eCRF completion and query resolution.” — Data Management Director, CRO
