Vitality Digestive Institute Clinical Research was founded by Dr. Tamerisa, Dr. Verma, and Sara with a shared vision to provide independent, high-quality digestive health research. After years of working with third-party clinical research organizations (CROs), they realized that they could achieve more by managing their trials in-house. By doing so, they could ensure that their values of integrity, innovation, and reliable data production remained at the core of everything they did. Their mission was simple: to deliver cutting-edge research and provide patients with access to advanced therapies while giving sponsors trustworthy results. What began as a dream of independence has grown into a company that aims to become the largest network of gastrointestinal (GI) clinical research providers in the Houston area.
At Vitality Digestive Institute, our mission is to advance the understanding and treatment of digestive diseases while providing patients with access to the latest in medical research. We are driven by four core values: high-quality healthcare, integrity, innovative treatments, and reliable data production. We believe that the best results come from keeping everything in-house, ensuring full alignment with both our patients’ needs and our sponsors’ goals. As we grow, our focus remains on delivering excellence in every trial, expanding our network of providers, and leading the way in GI clinical research.
Our team brings together decades of experience in gastrointestinal research, clinical care, and patient-focused treatment. Together, we are committed to improving the future of digestive health through our passion for science and innovation.
Vitality Digestive Institute Clinical Research offers innovative GI clinical trials, delivering high-quality care and reliable data for patients and pharmaceutical sponsors.
