Testimonials

Featured

Saira and her firm have helped us navigate CMS and the Hill, working closely with our Legal, Medical, Commercial and price reporting teams. Again and again, she’s shown her proficiency for understanding internal company structure, what to ask for, and how to assess and package the information in ways useful to CMS and Congress....as well as for our own executive team.
The KOLs and patient groups love working with the Connect 4 team as well, and have sought out their advice independently. It is rare to find a firm that can cross over so many areas effectively, and work passionately for to achieve our goals. As a result, she’s become a part of us.
Most of all, Saira is a pleasure to work with.
