About Clinical Research

GAP offers in-house research as a treatment option to patients who qualify.

Research offers many benefits, such as:

Study-related care at no cost
Financial compensation for study activity
Contributing to the development of new medicines, medical devices, and vaccines that one day may positively impact the health of millions.

GAP may periodically reach out to patients who we believe may qualify for open studies.

Our knowledgeable and experienced research coordinator will guide you through the qualification process. If you are a potential study candidate, you will have an on-site visit with our study coordinator and/or GAP physician for health assessments, physical exams, laboratory tests, or other procedures as required by the study protocol. As always, the health and safety of our patients remains a top priority.

If you are interested in learning more about our in-house study opportunities, please reach out to our Clinical Research Coordinator at (336) 779-1266 or discuss open opportunities with your GAP physician at your next visit. You may also follow us on social media to learn about available studies and study-specific information.

I experienced the highest level of professionalism and quality care during my colonoscopy. Dr. Blake Scott is extremely detailed and helpful. I highly recommend this office.

The staff have always been very professional. I have been several times. Would not go to another Gastroenterologist I feel very safe and taken care of

I’ve been a patient here since 2017. I can’t say enough amazing things about Dr Holmes, all the nurses and staff that go above and beyond for the patients. You won’t be disappointed In Gastroenterology Associates of the Piedmont!

Truly wonderful staff. All of the staff from the front desk to the trip out to the car are personable and make the process as easy and comfortable as possible. I appreciate the that they identify themselves and what they do and explain everything as they go along. Dr. Patwa is efficient, kind, and caring. Excellent experience all the way around.

I live in Hickory and was going to gastroenterologist associates of Hickory. Horrible experience to say the least. I would show up at appointment and then they would send me a no-show and try to charge me for it. Then I was referred to gastroenterology Associates of the Piedmont of Winston Salem. Probably the best Doctor visit that I’ve had in my life. The staff was very professional they were very efficient . Dr. Brian Smith was very professional and very personable. Took the time to listen and talk about my condition very thorough. I was in and out of his office within an hour. Definitely deserves more than a five star rating.

I had my first colonoscopy today and the entire staff were so friendly as well as professional! From checking in until the minute I left everyone was so nice. I saw Dr. McKimmie and he was great. I highly recommend GAP!
