SAON offers deep expertise in spine research, with a focus on procedure-driven protocols that reflect real-world clinical practice. Our investigators are experienced in device-based interventions, fusion and non-fusion techniques, and postoperative care. We support studies with robust data capture, long-term follow-up, and integrated registry participation, enabling the generation of evidence that supports both regulatory approval and commercial adoption.
SAON provides direct access to targeted patient populations through our engaged network of interventional pain specialists and primary care providers. Our sites follow established, evidence-based treatment workflows that support the consistent execution of protocol requirements. This foundation enables efficient enrollment, high-quality data collection, and alignment with real-world clinical pathways. Whether evaluating novel devices, biologics, or combination therapies, SAON’s pain management sites are equipped to deliver the patient access and procedural consistency needed for successful study outcomes.
SAON’s orthopedic site partners are experienced in conducting complex surgical studies, including those involving implantable devices, biologics, and post-operative rehabilitation protocols. Our investigators include board-certified orthopedic surgeons who are actively engaged in research and supported by trained clinical staff and surgical coordinators. These sites are equipped with the infrastructure, procedural volume, and expertise required for studies that demand precision, perioperative data collection, and long-term outcome tracking. With a strong foundation in both academic and community-based orthopedic care, SAON ensures that each study is conducted with rigor, reliability, and a focus on patient-centered outcomes.

and Research Sites
Spine MedTech Company (No. 01)
Chief Medical Officer
"As the CMO of a med-tech start-up completing an FDA-IDE study, finding a research site that can provide significant patient enrollment, has the independent research staff to ensure on time patient visits, complete all required documentation quickly and has experience in FDA studies and study audits is priority one. The research team at SOAN lead by Dr Pierce Nunley and Dr. Marcus Stone exceeds all of these priorities. SOAN is a top 5 research group. I highly recommend for any research project."
Spine MedTech Company (No. 02)
Senior VP, Research & Technology
"Dr. Nunley, Dr. Stone and their team at SAON are stalwart supporters of innovation and novel technologies. Their strong focus on sound clinical evidence and their ability to publish credible research make them desired partners in the Spine MedTech space. The breadth of their experience and willingness to provide sage guidance draws me back to their team as a repeat collaborator."

Senior Vice President
"The SAON team is collaborative, transparent, and delivers results. They focused on collectively achieving our goals and doing everything the right way. They consistently worked with us after the completion of the study to present and publish our data, work with payers, and assist with our commercialization efforts.
