Founded in 2008 by minimally invasive surgery pioneers Dr. K. Warren Volker and Dr. Steven D. McCarus, AIMIS began in Las Vegas, Nevada, as an educational destination for teaching forward-thinking physicians advanced surgical techniques. Dr. Volker and Dr. McCarus have partnered with Ethicon Endo, a Johnson & Johnson Company, to help provide their peers with the state-of-the-art technology required for minimally invasive procedures.
Today, Dr. Volker spearheads a Las Vegas-based AIMIS Center of Excellence, with Dr. McCarus at the helm of his groundbreaking AIMIS Center of Excellence institution in Orlando, Florida. Together, they continue to grow the organization with member facilities across the nation. Partnerships with corporations, insurance providers and patient advocates further the institute’s standing as an organization dedicated to pioneering procedures with greater safety, efficacy and efficiency.
