Tidewater Clinical Research - Norfolk, VA.

For over 30 years, Tidewater Clinical Research (TCR) has served as a bridge between the residents of Southeast Virginia and the future of global medicine. As a member of the Eximia Research network, we specialize in Phase I–IV clinical trials that do more than just test new treatments—they provide our neighbors in Norfolk, and nearby locations with access to tomorrow’s healthcare today.

What sets TCR apart is our unique “Community-First” model. We believe that clinical research shouldn’t feel like a cold, industrial process. Instead, we collaborate directly with local physicians to conduct studies in familiar, comfortable medical settings. This ensures that while you are contributing to vital scientific data, you are doing so under the care of professionals who know you and your community.
