Established in 1970 by Dr. Robert M. Overholt, The Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center is one of the country’s largest allergy practices. The practice boasts ten board certified allergists, one board certified dermatologist, twenty-two nurse practitioners, twenty locations, and continues to recruit additional providers expanding facilities on all fronts. The clinical research division of the practice has successfully conducted pharmaceutical sponsored studies since 1994 in the areas of allergy, asthma, COPD, PIDD, and sinusitis. The growth and steady progress of the division has allowed the opportunity to change the name to East Tennessee Center for Clinical Research.
East Tennessee Center for Clinical Research has a team that is dedicated to the highest performance standards of conducting clinical research studies while maintaining a high level of care for subjects. The facility has an outstanding reputation among study sponsors and clinical research organizations for execution and management of clinical research studies.
