"Our team spent the prior year with another FDA consulting firm submitting 3 pre-subs and endless supporting material to the FDA with very limited success. We paused that work and engaged KBC for a second opinion. Within one review he identified areas we could revise in our approach to the FDA that led to a Breakthrough Device Designation in a matter of months. Our team witnessed Ken’s perfect execution of a Hail Mary. Needless to say, we would highly recommend his firm." – M.D. & Chief Scientific Officer

This strategy has been reviewed and approved by our primary funding agency, as well as the FDA.” – Founder & CEO
