Tiffani Noble
Texas Account Manager
I began my ultrasound career in 2010 in Nacogdoches, Texas, after graduating from Angelina College. In 2019, I had the opportunity to blend my sales experience with my ultrasound background by joining AIS in Houston.
Throughout my clinical experience, I witnessed a massive divide in the attention and support that rural and smaller hospitals receive compared to larger, big-city facilities — a gap I personally experienced. I realized how critical it is to provide exceptional imaging equipment and continuous support to every facility, regardless of size. Everyone deserves reliable diagnostic tools and zero downtime, no matter how many patients they see daily.
Aligning with AIS has allowed me to deliver exactly that to my clients — combining top-tier equipment, applications support, and an outstanding service team. I’m committed to making every transition smooth and easy for those who choose to work with us.

"We have been partners with AIS for almost twenty years. They understand how important imaging equipment is to a busy nuclear lab, and will do whatever it takes to keep it running smoothly.
