Following an internship at the VA Medical Center in Topeka, he worked for 15 years at Osawatomie State Hospital – the last 13 as Chief Psychologist. Of note, in 1977, he founded a nonprofit corporation that opened two group homes (now part of Temporary Lodging for Children, Inc.) in Johnson County for children and adolescents requiring intensive services. Dr. Gentry has maintained a private practice since 1980 (full-time beginning in 1993) and currently provides Clinical, Child and Forensic Psychology services. He is one of only a handful of licensed psychologists in Kansas authorized for both Clinical and Child-Clinical practice.
