2 The Nexus History Nexus was founded in San Marcos, Texas in 2009 with three employees, a number which now stands at more than 60 with several positions available. The success of the Nexus System, coupled with an increasing demand for expedited and high quality medical reviews, brought very rapid growth to our company. With the rapid growth came a greater need for larger office space. In late 2010, Nexus Medical Consulting purchased and remodeled the former Thermon engineering building along the Interstate 35 business corridor. Our new home provided the ability to grow and fill 13,000 square feet of office space. After a few short years, we have outgrown this space and will soon begin a new construction phase for additional space. Today, the Nexus System is being introduced to a rapidly growing number of physicians, healthcare organizations, and legal professionals throughout the United States and abroad.
