Welcome to my practice! My desire is to provide the highest quality orthodontics possible in a caring, fun and professional environment. I enjoy getting to know my patients, and after30 years of practicing orthodontics, I still consider it a joy to serve the people of our community.
In order to become an orthodontist, I attended the Ohio State University as an undergraduate and received my DDSfrom Case Western Reserve University before going on to the Indiana University School of Dentistry, where I attained my MSD. Although my formal education was completed almost three decades ago, I am still learning about my craft. In order to provide my patients with the highest quality services available, I must always keep abreast of the latest advancements in technology as it applies to my patients.
I believe the function of the jaw and the way the teeth come together is just as important as the beautiful smile we aim to achieve. At my practice, our goal is to achieve these optimal results at a reasonable price in order to provide maximum value for the patient.
My practice is truly patient-centered. My staff and I strive every day to make each visit positive, educational and worthwhile. I enjoy getting to know my patients on a personal level. This not only helps me to provide truly individualized treatment according to their needs, but I also have made some great friends! I always try to find out the personal interests and hobbies of my patients. I want to know what makes them smile!
I am originally from Middletown, OH, but have lived inIndianapolis for nearly 30 years.I have two daughters and one son. The youngest children are in the 2nd and 6th grades.In my spare time, I love to snow ski, water ski, golf and work out. I enjoy coaching my kids in soccer. I also like tofly airplanes and I am an instrument rated pilot.
Working with you to create an attractive smile and a well functioning jaw is our number one objective. Dr. Larson and the friendly, dedicated, and energetic orthodontic team is committed to working with you and your family to create a positive orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.

Expect long wait times. We picked this location for convenience to school, but regret our choice. We routinely have to wait 30+ minutes past the appointment time just to be seen, and the staff says "he's just slow" about Dr. Larson as though that's an acceptable excuse.

Dr. Larson is awesome! His staff are so friendly. I have been going there for 2 years now and my teeth are coming along great. Dr. Larson is always patient with me and answers all my questions. I've had a couple of after hour emergencies and questions over the years and they always take my calls and make sure that all my concerns are addressed. They go above and beyond to accommodate your appointments so your treatment regimen stays on track. 5 stars all around!

I would not recommend Dr Larson. He is a rude and bitter man. I regret choosing his office. He was a third opinion and we only went with him due to his fees. I guess as they say... you get what you pay for! Your treatment time will be way longer then he originally tells you... and of course he will turn it around to be your fault.... we had not missed a single appt.. went EVERY 4 weeks FOR OVER 2 YEARS!!! Who has time for that anyway, let alone to continue to do it longer than you planned? Compared to the other offices we visited This office even has ZERO appeal when it comes to the looks. It is completely outdated. Much like his ways. I am even more disgusted with my decision after taking my nieces to their appointment at different office in the area last month. The doctor was GREAT! The office was beautiful and appealing! They did digital casts- no goopy impressions... and we were in out for both girls in 30minutes! It was a perfectly ran practice and up with the times. You won't get that with Larson. There was even one time he yelled at his front office staff in front of all the patients. And then continued to bad mouth and huff and puff about this staff to an assistant and TO THE PATIENT!!!! Then he got up and walked to the desk and left me with the mouth guards in and my mouth wide open while he continued to yell at her. I felt like i sat there waiting for him with my mouth wide open for 30 min after his assistant had already tried to call him over a few times. I feel awful for all his staff- they are always very nice and friendly and he is always rude and disrespectful to them and his patients. I WILL NOT BE TAKING MY 3 CHILDREN TO HIM. It is worth the money to go elsewhere. Take my word for it!

The staff is AMAZING! Dr Larson will be VERY real with you and I loved that! He could always tell when I didn't wear my bands as I should have. Sometimes your treatment takes longer than originally planned but things come up and his attention to detail is what I loved best. Have teenagers? Send them here. He will call them out when they say they're wearing their bands and they aren't. I loved being held accountable. I needed that, haha! I HIGHLY recommend his work AND his staff.

Larson Orthodontics is a very family-oriented and friendly office! My children are very comfortable here. Their pricing is competitive and they are more than willing to work with you on payments. I highly recommend them!

Was very disappointed with my step child's treatment. If i can give any advice. Just. Go. Elsewhere. Do your research. Visit multiple offices. You will be thanking me. The older doctor's behavior just surprises me. I have dealt with many medical professionals at my job over the past 20 years. This man doesn't care one bit about the care of his patients. He just wants his money. Oh! And don't ask how much longer you'll have your braces. He will just give you the run around as to why he can't get his job done. Please trust us. This office can't be the norm for ortho offices. Needless to say, I will be not be taking my own son here.
