Rigby Advanced Dental (Austin, Texas)...coming soon!

First things first...
We've been incredibly busy the last few months because we've finally decided to jump in with both feet & start our own business in Austin, Texas. Rigby Advanced Dental will hopefully be opening mid-late September!

Ever since we moved to Texas last year we've been hoping to somehow make it to Austin, but the right job opportunity was just never there. So we tried San Antonio, then moved up to Fort Worth a few months later. But after a few months in Fort Worth we decided that Austin was still the place for us & the only way we were going to make it there was to do our own thing...So here we are. We're planning to make yet ANOTHER move at the end of August when Brent is done working in Fort Worth. We'll try to get settled in a few weeks before the practice opens.

At the moment, we're just waiting on our permits from the city so we can start construction. As soon as those are through construction should only take about 8 weeks...but, I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully it will go quickly, but we've all heard crazy construction stories.

Stay posted for more pictures as things progress.

After an exhaustive search of Austin, we found a great location just west of Austin in a city called Bee Cave. Our office will be in the Hill Country Galleria wich is a "lifestyle center" that opened about 5 years ago. We are just so excited about this area; it's enough outside of the city to not be too crowded, but close enough. Brent is really looking forward to utlizing his skills as a Prosthodontist in an area that really needs him. It's also minutes away from Lake Travis (Brent's hoping for a boat in the future!). The area is very hilly with lots of oak trees (hence, "Hill Country). We're hoping to find a place to live in either Bee Cave or Lakeway.

Our office space is behind the 2 trees on the left.


Different angle of our office space.

The office is actually going to be above the "Victoria Secret" (but on the back side)...the construction crew wasn't complaining about this at all since they'll be having to do some work through the store!! :)


The center isn't just an outdoor shopping mall, but it has city hall, the library and a large ampitheater!
