West Virginia dentist to accelerate relocation in wake of fire

A West Virginia dental practice is slated to reopen at a new location in April after its original site was destroyed in a fire, The Intelligencer and Wheeling News Register reported Nov. 19.

The office of Benjamin Kocher, DDS, was one of four buildings lost in the Nov. 10 fire, which may have been caused by a space heater in a nearby apartment. 

Dr. Kocher had already planned to relocate the New Martinsville-based office to another street, but the timeline was moved up to April after the fire.
