Four Fun Facts About Cheyenne, Wyoming

Schedule An Appointment

My first experience here was this morning. I was a little nervous because I haven’t been to the dentist in some time. They made me feel relaxed and not judged. The last thing me as a patient, that has not been seen in a while wants to hear is negative feedback. I received positive vibes and help from everyone there….. Nothing negative. The doctors assistant that helped me was amazing!!! Two thumbs up to her. Her customer service is wonderful. Thank you East Pershing Dental for making what seemed like my first dentist appointment a very good one.

All the staff is wonderful and caring! Sandy was great! My teeth are sparkling, and she was in a great mood at 7am. She has some kind of superpowers! The whole office makes it convenient for me, by offering appointments outside of business hours. Great dentists that take time to explaining thing to me. The office staff always greets me as soon as I walk in the door, and they all remember my name. Thanks for being so awesome!

Cheyenne Is A Railroad Town

Did you know that Cheyenne all but owes its existence to the Union Pacific Railroad? In the mid-1800s, the railroad announced plans to build a township next to the railroad’s crossing of Crow Creek that would serve as the headquarters for its mountain region. Once settled, the locals all got together and named it Cheyenne as a salute to the American Indian tribe who lived in the area. To this day, it still serves as a significant way stop for the trains that cross the country, carrying freight and goods all across America.
