> Whether you call him Dr. B, Dr. Brantley, or Dr. Molpus, he answers to all of them...and as his mother Rachel sometimes mentions, he was “Brantley” long before he was “Dr. Molpus”. This is simply a reminder to stay humble and treat others the way you like to be treated. Originally an arts and humanities major, Brantley switched in his third year of college to pre-med after volunteering at Halifax Hospital in his hometown of Daytona Beach. He completed his undergraduate degree and Doctor of Medicine from the University of South Florida, the only one in his class to receive both Honors Surgery and Honors Medicine distinctions at commencement. He did his residency in emergency medicine at the level one trauma center of Orlando Health. The following year, he was honored to be asked to return to Orlando to join the emergency medicine group that had trained him. He practiced hospital based ER medicine for ten years with Orlando Health. He is a Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians and a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery. As with patient care, Dr. Molpus simply enjoys making things better. He has renovated and remodeled 6 properties in the Winter Park and Maitland area in the last 13 years, with emphasis on saving older homes with architectural details not found in newer construction. He began collecting art and antiques to accent the remodeled
homes, and eventually had sale displays at antique shops in Orlando and Winter Park. Of late, his antiques have been pared down to an acceptable “non-hoarder” level as his home sizes have scaled down. His art features heavily the modernist works of Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Steve Kaufman, Mark Kostabi, and Salvador Dali and is on loan to a gallery in South Florida for display until 2015. After a decade of hospital based medicine, Dr. Molpus co-founded the miniER in 2007, an adult and pediatric urgent care center located in Waterford Lakes. It is staffed with medical professionals having extensive emergency medicine training and practice experience. Dr.Molpus serves as President and COO of the miniER Corporation, as well as the medical director of the Waterford Lakes clinic. More recently, Dr. Molpus has joined Ideal Image, the industry leader in laser hair removal. He came to Ideal Image serendipitously as a client. He was impressed with the results as well as the staff’s professionalism, and when their current medical director retired, he was recommended as a candidate to replace him. The rest, like his unwanted hair, is history. Dr. Molpus now serves as the on site medical director for the Dr. Phillips location and also directs the centers in Altamonte, Waterford Lakes, and Lakeland.<
