Apex Research of Riverside was originated from the Nephrology Associated Medical Group, Inc. This is the third largest nephrology group in the state of California. The group has 10 nephrologists and provides the care for 730 End Stage Renal Disease patients. The group physicians are specialized in all aspects of renal diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lipid disorder, dialysis treatment and kidney/pancreas transplantation. The group furthers their integration with community physicians.
Apex Research of Riverside is a private practice that has been participating in clinical trials for 2 years. Recently, the research site was separated from the private practice with the goal of establishing a large freestanding multi-specialty research site. We have expanded their scope of research to pulmonary, urologic, cardiac, neurologic and infectious disease. With the joint venture between Riverside Community Hospital and City of Hope, oncological trials are on the horizon.
Apex Research of Riverside holds a high moral standard. The specialty group is determined to participate in clinical trials for new drugs, which may, eventually, benefit the general public. Apex Research of Riverside is dedicated to the intellectual stimulation and medical education of the physician community as well as to enhance the current quality of care for the entire community.
