Philip A. Templeton, MD, FACR, President & CEO

As one of the nation’s largest on-call teleradiology services, Templeton Readings, LLC, has doubled its business every year since its inception five years ago. Under the capable steerage of Philip A. Templeton, M.D., FACR, former radiology department chairman and professor at the University of Maryland, the company has long been a trailblazer in outsourced reading services that extend well beyond nighttime reading.

Templeton Readings has thrived by catering to the unique needs of radiologists in today’s challenging practice environment. Templeton’s service portfolio has always included daytime overflow reading as well as a full range of sub-specialty interpretation. The practice covers all 50 states and includes fellowship trained sub-specialists in PET, cardiac CTA, as well as neuroradiology, musculoskeletal MRI, NM and more.

From day one, Templeton Readings has counted on fast, reliable virtual technologies to collect and distribute images. Dr. Templeton believes this has played a key role in the practice’s success. Highlighting a major advantage of AccelaRAD’s digital technology, Dr. Templeton says, “the fact that the AccelaRAD Virtual Radiology Network is so easy to install makes it easy for us to add on clients at a moment’s notice. It has helped us grow our business.”

Dr. Templeton believes the use of virtualized technology has helped the firm focus on personalized service as a key success factor for driving business growth. Every client facility works with two or three radiologists on a day-to-day basis to ensure a positive, involved partnership.
