ABOUT AZRC

The AZRC Story

Putting patients first is not just a mission; it's our responsibility. Founded by Dr. Joseph Gimbel, MD, in 1997, The Arizona Research Center (AZRC) is a 26,000-square-foot facility equipped with two operating rooms and a procedure room, with the capability to conduct a diverse array of trials efficiently and effectively. By prioritizing patient needs, Dr. Gimbel created an environment where trust and transparency flourish, and every interaction with a member of our team is infused compassion, kindness and respect. His focus on patient needs wasn’t merely a business strategy; it's a reflection of our core values and a testament to our dedication to making a meaningful difference in people's lives by working with pharmaceutical companies to ensure next generation treatment opportunities are safe and available.
