A. Patients come to Baumel-Eisner from the entire South Florida area. Many are patients referred from our doctors' private practices. Others are referred from the large network of physicians that the doctors have consulted over their many years of community practice. Patients are also recruited by public announcements using IRB-approved advertisements. Our doctors are frequently asked to comment as medical experts for stories of public interest in the South Florida news media.
Patient recruitment is conducted independently for each project.
Most dementia studies offer continued therapy through open label extensions. Unless there has been a medical reason for interruption of therapy, patients are encouraged and usually elect to continue on extension treatment protocols.

The center is also recognized for its low placebo response rate and high percentage of completed patients in all clinical trials.
