New dental office in Escondido:
Patronize union providers!
We spend a lot of time and energy educating our
members and the public about staying away from non-union stores like
Walmart and Fresh & Easy.
These companies and others like them take away
from our union market share and hurt our communities.
At the same time, we encourage everyone to
patronize union grocery stores like Albertsons, Ralphs and Vons.
It’s often overlooked that our union has a
diverse membership that includes people who work in many areas other
than the food industry.
This diversity makes us strong.
The tooth is out there...
For example, we have many union providers like
dental and orthodontist offices. Some of these facilities have been
affiliated with our union for more than 30 years!
In the past, Dr. Thor was our dental provider,
but he has not been for many years. I was so happy to hear that the San
Diego Dental Group is opening an office in Escondido to serve our union
members there.
The new location is at 342 S. Broadway in
Escondido. This office features state-of-the-art technology for taking
care of all of your dental needs. And everyone who works there is a
union sister or brother!
The staff is trained to listen to each patient’s
concerns and respond to them with exceptional treatment, employing the
best techniques of comprehensive general and cosmetic dentistry. They
strive to help you achieve a level of health and comfort you never
thought possible.
San Diego Dental Group has a wide range of
experience in different areas of dentistry, from cosmetic and
restorative care to root canals, dentures and other services.
Built-in benefits experts
Union providers also know how to work the
administrative side of your health care. When you go to a union facility
for dental work, you can be assured that the staff understands the dos
and don’ts of your plan and that your union benefits are maximized.
These facilities make fewer mistakes than non-union providers.
Everyone who lives in the Escondido area should
visit San Diego Dental Group’s new facility. Call (760) 747-4242 to make
an appointment.
Be alert to future issues of The Worker where
we’ll highlight more of these union facilities for you. We want to be
sure that these small employers remain profitable and stay in business
so they can employ even more of our members.
