Even though I was in severe pain from two abscesses and doubted their recommended Motrin and Tylenol would work, NYU Dental refused to give me an RX for even a few narcotic painkillers!! I would up 48 hours later in severe pain, dragging myself to a walk in CityMD Clinic where I did get some Percoset. OMG!! Today I had 2 teeth extracted and again asked if I could have an RX for a FEW narcotic painkillers, guess what they said NO NO NO. I burst into tears, while my gauze filled mouth was dripping blood. THEN I was told the biggest whopper ever ... that is was because Gov. Cuomo has cracked down on narcotic pain prescriptions. YES he's cracked down on prescription/drug shoppiing not on legitimate prescriptions for legitimate pain relief. Columbia's School of Dentistry gives their patients prescriptions for narcotic painkillers as a matter of course when there is reason to do so. OMG I hope this miserable hell hole gets closed down. They are evil, unethical and awful.
