Staywell Research, aka Medicus Research, aka Dr. Jay Udani Company does NOT pay research participants what it promises! Northridge California
Medicus Research aka Staywell Research doesn't honor their promises to pay participants! Very dishonest company. Medicus Research aka Staywell Research contacted me to participate in a medical study, in which I'd receive $400. I did so, and they fail to pay up. I completed the study and met their terms. As of December 2014 I had completed the study and asked for payment. Since then, they have been evasive, returned none of my 25+ calls asking for the whereabouts of my payment. The only reason I participated was because they promised to pay. They have not owned up to their promises. Very, very dishonest people; there are tons of Yelp reviews from people who have been ripped off like I have. This disreputable company should be investigated and/or shut down.

For a company that's prospering, Staywell has some very weird business strategies: They've been evicted from one of their offices, they've cut office hours WAY back, to apparently save on administration costs, and 3) the doctor who runs it has recently sold his home. So they claim to have paid $800k? I'd like to see some proof, as well as how much more they owe. And I STILL haven't been paid by these jokers.
