Dr. Joe Hannah is a native Kansan who grew up in the town of Lyons. Growing up in a small town, Dr. Hannah appreciates the personal aspect of meeting people and getting to know his patients and their families. He moved to Lawrence to attend the University of Kansas and has remained an avid fan of the Jayhawks.
Dr. Hannah attended UMKC Dental School but left the area to complete his orthodontic residency at the University of Louisville. Following graduation in 1986, Dr. Hannah joined the practice with Dr. Richard Radke who founded the practice in 1959.
After many years of practicing orthodontics, Dr. Hannah continues to enjoy the warm relationships with patients and staff. "It is very rewarding to see the difference we make in our patients' smiles, dental health, and I hope their lives."
Dr. Hannah enjoys supporting the local schools that his patients attend and has spent years volunteering for local charities that benefit children. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) and past president of both the Kansas State Association of Orthodontists and the Greater Kansas City Society of Orthodontists. His involvement in these organizations allows him to stay abreast of the newest innovations in orthodontics and to continually improve diagnosis, prevention and treatment procedures for his patients.
Dr. Hannah loves the outdoors and finds time to golf and fish. Staying true to his roots, Dr Hannah enjoys raising cattle on his ranch outside of Gardner and spending time with family.
Dr. Richard Hannah is a native of Kansas. He grew up in rural Olathe and graduated from Spring Hill High School. He knew he wanted to pursue a career as an orthodontist after watching his grandfather, Dr. Radke, practice. His decision was sealed after shawdowing "Uncle Joe" when he was a junior in high school.
Dr. Richard's love of nature and the great outdoors led him to attend Montana State University where he received his Bachelor of Science in Cellular and Biology Neuroscience. He returned to the Kansas City area to complete dental school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. After graduation in 2011, the call of Montana took him back to practice general dentistry in Bozeman for two years. He then began an orthodontic residency at the University of Indiana in 2013 and graduated with his Masters of Science in Dentistry. He joined Hannah Orthodontics in July 2015 and is excited to finally begin his orthodontic career working alongside his uncle in the practice his grandfather founded in 1959.
Dr. Richard loves building relationships with patients and their families, knowing that improving a smile can change a life. He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO), as well as the Kansas Orthodontic and Dental Societies.
Dr. Richard enjoys spending time with his family and his lab puppy, Colter. He is an avid outdoorsman who has a passion for hunting and fishing.
