About Atom Physics
About Us
Our Founder
Atom Physics was founded by Adam Evearitt, MS, DABR. He began his career in medical radiation as a way to combine his love of physics and math with his love of helping and making a difference for people. Although he already had a bachelor’s degree in physics and math, at the age of 32, he decided to focus on a new path, got his master’s degree in medical physics and in 2008, became a fully board-certified medical physicist.
Adam has direct, applicable education and credentials in x-ray technology and service. He has an associate’s degree in radiography, a bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics and a master’s degree in radiological physics. He is certified by the American Board of Radiology as a medical physicist.
Co-owner, Pam Arroway has been with Atom Physics since 2017, first working as an x-ray repair tech and now managing the x-ray division of the business.
Core Values
Atom Physics’ priority is to always do things the right way even when it might not be to our advantage in the short term. We have discovered that being honest, competent and customer-focused pays off in the long run, and we are very proud that our business has found success on this very solid footing.
Our Origin Story
Adam began his career in medicine as a transporter for the radiology department at a hospital. He became certified as an x-ray tech, and went on to train x-ray techs, including developing curriculum to start a new program. This background in x-ray is pretty unusual for a medical physicist and lead to the creation of Atom Physics.
When Adam first began working as a medical physicist, part of his job was to inspect x-ray machines in Colorado. Like many states, Colorado requires that x-ray machines be inspected periodically by a qualified inspector. Once he was added to the list of qualified inspectors in Colorado, he started getting calls from practices and facilities that needed their x-ray machines inspected (dental, veterinary, chiropractic offices, etc…). As the years went by, he got busier and busier, and by then he was doing inspections 2-3 times a week and sometimes taking a day off once a month from his hospital job to fit in more inspections. This led him to creating his first website in 2011 marketing his services for x-ray machine inspections.
Eventually he had so much business for inspections that Adam hired his first employee. Over time, he started getting asked questions about upgrades to machines or repair work, or who to contact to buy a new x-ray machine. He realized that it was time for his small side job to become a real business. So, in 2017, Pam Arroway joined Atom Physics and helped take a small inspection/consulting business to the next level.
Since 2017, Atom Physics has grown into a wonderful small business with offices and a warehouse in Broomfield, CO. We have a dedicated group of employees to service all x-ray equipment needs in Colorado and nationally. We strive to be honest and hardworking and really believe that our success has come from doing things the right way.
From Adam’s humble roots wheeling patients in stretchers down the hospital hallways, he has held nearly every single job that involves x-ray machines. He knows what works and what doesn’t and what really makes a difference. All of Atom Physics’ employees are trained to his standards so you know that no matter who you are interacting with at Atom Physics, they will provide the highest quality of service.

Atom Physics is Unique
We are one of the only x-ray equipment companies (maybe THE only one) that is owned and run by a medical physicist. That means we can do absolutely everything from beginning to end with an x-ray machine. We can do the physics shielding report (where and how much lead goes in the walls), sell the machine, install the machine, inspect the machine, and provide all the ongoing support, maintenance, repair, and peripheral needs, like dosimetry badges, for the staff. We also provide consultation in radiation safety.
