Behind Dr. Richard and Dr. Gretter Hannah is a team of clinical assistants, treatment coordinators and front-desk staff across five Kansas offices. They are the people you will see most: at every adjustment, every scheduling call, and every insurance question.
The people you actually see most
Our team is with you at every visit, alongside Dr. Richard and Dr. Gretter.
The doctor plans your treatment and makes the clinical decisions. But the person who greets you, who seats you, who changes your wire, who works out how to fit your next appointment around a school schedule, and who follows up with your insurance company - that is the team. Over an eighteen-month treatment, that adds up to a great deal more contact.
So it is worth knowing who they are.
Our Clinical Team
Our clinical assistants are the people who do most of the hands-on work at your adjustment appointments - changing wires, fitting and removing appliances, taking digital scans, and talking you through what is happening and why.
They are also, in practice, the people patients ask the questions they were too self-conscious to ask the doctor. We are always glad you asked. Ask them anything. If it needs the orthodontist, they will get the orthodontist.
Our Front Desk Team
Scheduling around school, work and four other family members is a genuine skill, and our front-desk teams are good at it. They also handle the part of orthodontics nobody enjoys: insurance.
We file your claims for you and pursue the maximum benefit available under your policy. If you have a question about what you owe or what your plan covers, this is who you ask - and they are always happy to help.

Our Emporia Team
Our Emporia office has its own dedicated team.
One Practice, Five Offices
Your records are shared across all five locations, so if it is easier to be seen at a different office one week, we can usually arrange it. Whichever office you visit, you are seen by the same two orthodontists.
