ABOUT US > OUR DOCTORS

YMCA Volunteer
In April of 1991, Dr. Fry had a vision to create a youth center in the Olathe Community. Since then, his dream has taken flight as the Olathe Family YMCA has already undergone rigorous planning and implementing of various youth programs. Fitting with his "never grow up" personality, Dr. Fry found himself so passionate for this cause that he even encouraged his patients to help out: His challenge to them was to raise at least $3,000 dollars for the Olathe Family YMCA, and in turn the doctor would shave his head—completely!

The day was Thursday, April 4 when Dr. Fry was taken to the barber via police car in hand cuffs and escorted by city police. His charge? The $5,207 piled high in a fishbowl was enough proof that it was Dr. Fry’s time to fulfill his end of the bargain. The inevitable electric razor sheered off locks of his rainbow dyed hair as giggling patients and children in the community who had raised at least $25 for the cause guided it.

Dr. Fry continues to be involved and serves as a member of the YMCA Advising Board.

Game Show Contestant
"Bob Fry, come on down!" Little did Dr. Fry know when he made plans to attend a team-building seminar with his staff in Los Angeles that he would return home a Showcase Showdown winner on the "Price is Right"! The staff urged him to go along with them to be audience members even though he said that he’d rather just go back to the hotel and sleep. And when he heard his name called near the end of the show, he knew it was all a bad dream and thought he’d just make a fool of himself on stage . . . quite the contrary, in fact. Dr. Fry walked away in shock with a $20,000 cash value in prizes!

After discussing it with his family and staff, Dr. Fry decided to give back to the community by donating the money to five local charities: the Olathe YMCA, Heart to Heart International Inc., Olathe Region United Way, Olathe Public Schools Foundation, and Living Hope Church of the Nazarene. He feels that he and his staff are devoted to improving the quality of life for others, and this was just another way that they could contribute to this goal.
