Dr. Chad Linsley
As Dr. Glen’s eldest son, Dr. Chad Linsley was exposed to optometry at an early age and spent many childhood years roaming his father’s practice. He spent several years of high school working in the practice dispensing glasses and performing general office work. Throughout college he spent his breaks at the office performing pre-testing and helping in the dispensary.
Dr. Chad received his Doctor of Optometry degree from the Michigan College of Optometry in 2010. Dr. Linsley’s extern training included Eyecare Associates of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, the Pawnee Indian Health Service near Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the Dwayne Waters Hospital in Jackson, Michigan.
As an optometrist, Dr. Chad has an acute interest in third-world eye-care and has participated in short-term humanitarian trips to Haiti, Guatemala, Peru, Kenya, and Costa Rica. He is driven by his belief that there are few situations in which Mason Family Eye Care can not improve visual function or ocular comfort.
When Dr. Chad is not at the office, he enjoys running, reading, landscaping, and spending time with his wife, Felicia. Next time you’re in for an exam, you might ask him about the joy of shopping at Aldi.
Brett Linsley, Practice Manager
Dr. Glen’s second son and Dr. Chad’s younger brother, Brett joined the family practice in June 2015. Brett coordinates the many different activities that are required to keep a medical practice running. He enjoys the opportunity his work gives him to regularly interact with all different kinds of people from Mason and the surrounding communities.
Brett enjoys spending time with his family and dog, travelling, and reading. Trivial fact: the biggest section of his personal library is devoted to his favorite opera composer.
