Richard T. Hale, DDS

Dental care remains a quiet necessity in small towns, where the nearest specialist might be a half-hour drive away. Richard T. Hale, DDS operates from a modest storefront at 1136 W 15th St, Ottawa, KS 66067, offering routine exams, fillings, crowns, and emergency treatments without the urban rush. The practice covers preventive cleanings, root canals, and even minor oral surgeries, ensuring residents don’t have to leave the county for basic dental needs. Ottawa’s streets, lined with century-old brick buildings, lend a sense of continuity to the care provided here—steady, unassuming, and reliable.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling (785) 242-1800, and the office keeps a map updated for anyone unfamiliar with the west side of town. Directions are available here. Most patients walk in knowing exactly where to find it, though newcomers sometimes circle the block once before spotting the sign. It’s the kind of place where the receptionist already knows your name before you say it.
