Storey County is celebrating its first ever dentist's office which held its grand opening on Wednesday.
Dr. Joe Eberle's new practice is right at the entrance at Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, next to the new Renown urgent care near USA Parkway. It's a part of the effort to turn the industrial center into a fully functional town with all the features needed to service 132 businesses, and the 6,000 people who work there.
TRIC officials say this is just the beginning with plans for a bank, daycare, fitness center, restaurants, and even hotels on site.
"We are growing. All of the services. And I'm glad the medical is here first. We'll get the restaurant later,” says Lance Gilman, TRIC Director of Marketing.
They say it's also a major benefit to citizens outside of the center who have always had to drive for miles to get to the nearest dentist.
Dr. Joe Eberle says he's proud to be a part of all of this growth.
"I've lived in Reno almost 60 years now, and I've seen the community grow, so I saw the need, and that's the reason we did this,” says Dr. Eberle.
The dental office is open and Dr. Eberle says they already have appointments on the books.
Desert Valley Dental is located at 420 USA Parkway, east of Sparks in McCarran, Nevada. For more information, on other office locations, go to http://www.desertvalleydentalreno.com/.
