American Endoscopy Services, Inc. (AES) offers full-service surgical support programs for laparoscopic and other rigid and flexible scope surgery. A Clinical Service Company. Founded in 1995, AES is a clinical services company, not a manufacturer or vendor. By improving the quality and productivity of endoscopy procedures, we help hospitals and surgery centers to achieve two critical goals: improve patient outcomes and reduce surgery costs. Unique in the Industry. We're the only MIS service company that neither manufactures nor sells equipment. Our approach stresses the choice and expert maintenance of reusable equipment - based exclusively on the preferences of the surgeons and hospital staff - as the smart alternative to costly disposable instruments. Our Team Supports Your Team. At each partner hospital, AES provides a team of on-site surgical specialists who assist with equipment operation, cleaning, and maintenance of reusable equipment. OR's and Endoscopy Departments who partner with AES gain the benefits of improved service support, quality and efficiency. This translates into better patient outcomes while reducing hospital costs. A USPI Company. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, AES is a wholly owned subsidiary of United Surgical Partners International, the surgical services company.
