GI Research

Our Mission

Our mission is to serve our valued patients and our community by providing access to the newest ideas in medicine.

The advancements made in modern medicine could not have been possible without clinical research.

In order for any medication to be administered to patients, it must go through a structured series of testing known as clinical trials. The trials not only test to ensure it is safe for people to use, they also work to make the medicine as effective as possible for the patients who take it. Volunteers in clinical research studies can directly influence future generations, and often have access to novel treatments that are not yet available to the public.

We care about our patients, and we value your time and willingness to help develop the future of medicine and healthcare. We hope you consider taking part in one of our research studies.

Great Lakes Gastroenterology Research is an integral part of this process.

We work together with pharmaceutical companies in order to carry out these new treatments to patients in need. Our experienced staff have conducted over 400 trials, and are dedicated to providing quality care. Great Lakes Gastroenterology Research collaborates with the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies to provide clinical trials of groundbreaking medical therapies and devices.

Professional. Courteous. Experienced.

Our physicians are board-certified in a variety of specialties and work together with our physician assistants, registered nurses, allied health professionals, and research coordinators to achieve both excellent care and outstanding patient satisfaction. With our combined experience working on over 400 clinical trials, you can expect to have a welcoming, comfortable and professional experience.

Your body is unique, so is our care

Every single person, from the person at the front desk to the nurse that escorted me to my ride, was friendly and helpful. They all seemed to know their job and enjoyed doing them. And of course, Dr. Bridgers is the best!

Dr. Threadgill is absolutely wonderful. Very smart and very nice doctor. He explained everything so well and I left there finally knowing about my condition and with a plan to fix it. So thankful for him. His staff was very nice also.

This was my very first colonoscopy and I was nervous, but everyone that I came in contact with was so kind. They all explained everything to me and really made me feel comfortable and at ease. Hopefully in 10 years they'll all still be here for my next one.

The staff was very kind and compassionate. They recognized I was nervous about the colonoscopy. Dr. Bridgers talked with me prior to test and then to me and husband after the test. He did not use confusing words. He took his time to explain what he found and his next plan. The nursing staff was just as professional. Please thank all of them.

Efficient processes, great pre-procedure communication, considerate use of my time on procedure day. Shout out to “Sarah” and “Angel” for their nursing care! Will use Dr. Batte and his team again for future GI needs.

My experience was pleasant and positive. NP Leigh Beth Brown was focused on my concerns and intent on helping me. She had time for me and did not rush through my appointment. She was very easy to talk with and genuinely cared about what I had to say. All questions were answered and a plan was made. I was immensely pleased with my overall visit! Great job!
