West Physics was founded in Atlanta in 2002 with a single local client and an absolute commitment to technical and service excellence. That commitment turned one relationship into thousands, and today we serve hospitals, imaging centers, and healthcare networks across all 50 U.S. states, federal territories, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East. We are the premier national provider of diagnostic medical and health physics consulting, testing, and training in the United States — and we continue to grow, opening new field offices across the country so our clients never have to wait. Every expansion is guided by the same principle that started us: if our clients aren't happy, neither are we.

We are a team of over 75 full-time, board-certified medical and health physicists — more than any other consulting firm in the world. Our staff collectively holds more than 50 advanced degrees, more than 50 board certifications, and over 2,000 state technical licenses and registrations. We have performed over 140,000 surveys and more than 6,000 accreditations. Every physicist on our team is a direct West Physics employee; we do not use affiliate networks or subcontractors. That means every client receives the same best-in-class procedures, survey forms, and accreditation support — whether their facility is in California or the Caribbean. Our President, W. Geoffrey West, Ph.D., DABR, CHP, built West Physics on the belief that diagnostic medical physics and health physics deserve the same rigor and accountability demanded in any other life-safety discipline. That belief defines us still.

We provide comprehensive diagnostic medical physics and health physics services for the full range of imaging modalities — MRI, CT, Nuclear Medicine and PET, Mammography, Radiography, Fluoroscopy, Ultrasound, Bone Densitometry, and Therapy Physics. Our service portfolio spans dose optimization programs (including our proprietary DOSE Navigator®), acceptance testing, annual and periodic physics testing, x-ray shielding design and verification, ACR, Joint Commission, IAC, and RadSite accreditation support, auditing and regulatory consulting, Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) services, MRI safety services, survey meter calibration, and staff training. We also offer a curated line of physics products, including our Low and High Contrast Resolution Phantoms and a full set of QC policies and procedures for MRI, CT, and Nuclear Medicine. For the energy, research, and industrial sectors, our industrial division is the leading provider of radiation safety and health physics services worldwide.

Everything we do at West Physics is in service of one fundamental goal: protecting patients, clinical staff, and the integrity of medical imaging. Radiation is a powerful diagnostic tool, and its safe, optimal use depends on expert physics oversight at every step. We exist to ensure that imaging facilities across the country and around the world have access to the highest level of medical physics expertise — so that every scan delivers the right dose, every piece of equipment performs as it should, every accreditation is earned with confidence, and every person who walks through an imaging suite is protected. Our work sits at the intersection of science, safety, and patient care, and we take that responsibility seriously in everything we do.

Four principles shape how we work with every client, every day. Technical Expertise: all of our services are delivered by highly credentialed medical and health physicists — never subcontractors — supported by a best-in-class internal training program that keeps our knowledge current with the latest technologies and standards. Customer Satisfaction: being technically excellent means nothing if clients can't reach a physicist quickly, get services scheduled efficiently, or understand our findings — so we never stop refining the customer experience. Flexibility: we offer an unprecedented level of flexibility in scheduling, billing, and every dimension of service, because we never want to say no to a client with an urgent need. Independence: we maintain complete impartiality — vendor-neutral in every recommendation, structured to ensure our advice is always in the best interest of our clients. Underpinning all of it is a commitment to the highest standards of ethics: fair treatment and absolute honesty in every transaction, recognized by our A+ rating with the U.S. Better Business Bureau.

When you work with West Physics, you work with West Physics — not an affiliate network, not a patchwork of subcontractors, not a regional broker. Every physicist who arrives at your facility is a full-time West Physics employee trained to our procedures, using our survey forms, held to our standards. With field offices across the country, we can reach any location in the continental United States in six hours or less. Our 99.8% MRI ACR accreditation success rate is unmatched — even major imaging equipment vendors recommend us to their customers because they know it will be done right the first time. We have been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies eleven consecutive times, including membership in the exclusive 10x Club. We offer a full service guarantee, liberal office hours that span every U.S. time zone, and a partnership model that ensures senior physicists — not junior associates — are invested in your outcomes. Simply put, no other medical physics consulting firm in the world has our breadth, our depth, or our record.

As West Physics continues to expand, we invest directly in the communities where our clients operate. Our rapidly growing network of regional field offices — from Huntsville and Charlotte to Phoenix and San Diego — is staffed by local physicists embedded in those markets, not flown in from headquarters. We are also building the next generation of medical physics talent through our CAMPEP-accredited three-year residency program in diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine physics, based in Atlanta. The program welcomed 14 residents as of 2026, with demand growing sharply year over year. Residency graduates leave prepared to handle any imaging system or procedure in existence — contributing their expertise back to healthcare facilities and patients in communities across the country.
