Bradly Larson is the father of 6 children ages 4-14 (one in every school in the Carthage ISD) He got his Optometry degree from the University of Houston. While in his last year of school he enjoyed learning under the supervision of Dr. Dennis Golden of Golden Eye Associates located in Carthage. It was back then in 2013, he and his wife fell in love with Carthage for the first time. In 2018 Dr. Larson began seeing patients in Carthage with Dr Golden, anticipating purchasing his clinic. In 2019 Dr Golden selected another business to buy his clinic and so Dr Larson began the process of developing his own clinic in front of Walmart. Finally in 2021 the whole Larson family officially moved to Carthage and in November of 2022 Dr Larson began seeing patients in Carthage.
He is licensed to practice full scope optometry which includes major and minor eye surgeries, dry eye treatment, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration management. He also loves serving as an adjunct faculty member of UIW's Rosenberg college of optometry in San Antonio where he teaches students the highest level of skills in LASER eye surgery.
He fell in love with the miracle of the human body back in college. He says, "I was motivated to become an optometrist by the love and amazement which struck me for God's greatest creation, our bodies. And the eyes are the crown jewel of His work." Dr. Larson mentions how he had personal experience being personally on MEDICAID . "Seeing how doctors would treat my children so badly because of our insurance really affected me. I pledged back then to never do that to my own patients, but that I would treat everyone equally, and at the same high standard of care no matter the insurance."
Dr. Larson enjoys dressing up as Thor for Halloween, however he prefers Dr. Strange more recently. You also may find him chasing his kids in a bigfoot costume whenever they don't clean their rooms.
