The Dentist

I'll bet some of you have had the same experience...your dentist has moved, retired or quit practicing. It happened here, in Borrego.

Dr. Wimer was Borrego's dentist. He had been practicing here for years. His office, located in the Center, was only a few minutes drive from anywhere in Borrego. He was an affable, competent and sympathetic person, a pleasure to talk to ( when nothing else was in your mouth ) and always ended the visit by telling you to, " Keep up the good job..." what ever that meant - I assume flossing or brushing. Well, a few months ago, Dr. Wimer died and his office closed, even though the phone line was still open. The place was up for sale and patients were either advised to wait or told to choose another dentist.

Those of us who had faith in Borrego ( and had no toothaches ) decided on a wait and see attitude. We were almost sure things would work out. Well they did and my first appointment is next Monday. Borrego came through again and without divine intervention, I suspect! The practice was bought by the Borrego Health Foundation.

Long live home town dentistry!
