A desire to help others improve their health and serve his community led Dr. Allen Reavis to dentistry. He has been enjoying that mission for 39 years in Atchison, Kansas.  

A graduate of UMKC School of Dentistry (1984), Dr. Reavis has been an active member in the profession, serving as a leader in the Kansas Dental Association, the American Dental Association and on the Kansas Dental Board. 

In Atchison, Dr. Reavis has spearheaded the effort to build a Federally Qualified Health Center Dental Clinic and led the drive to raise funds to complete the clinic.  These clinics are critical in providing dental care for Medicaid recipients and the underserved population.   

Beyond his practice in Atchison, Dr. Reavis volunteers to provide free dental care by participating in Donated Dental, KMOM, charitable care which has recently included a mission trip to Kenya. 

In his personal time, Dr. Reavis has continued to serve the community through civil leadership.  He has been elected to the positions of city commissioner, county commissioner and mayor for which he held for five terms in Atchison.  Dr. Reavis has had the pleasure of sitting on a number of local committees and boards including: St. Benedict's Catholic Church Parish Council, Boy Scouts, and the Community Foundation.
