Working for a small biotech, I relied heavily on Brizzey for guidance on pivotal clinical trial activities. This small, personal consulting firm provides expertise with flexibility and humor. They met every timeline and always kept our small company needs in sight. I learned a great deal from Rob in specific, and look forward to working with Brizzey again in the future.
