Columbia Univ Dental School

I am incredibly grateful to this hospital and its medical team. This is not the first time they have helped my son with a complicated dental case involving root canal treatment. Every time we face a serious situation, they are the ones who are willing to step in when others cannot. Yesterday we came in with a high fever, facial swelling, and severe tooth pain. While multiple dental clinics refused to see a child in such condition, this hospital accepted us urgently and provided the care my son desperately needed. The staff was professional, compassionate, and attentive. They treated my child with care and respect, and they treated me as a worried parent with understanding and patience. In moments like this, that means everything. Thank you for being the place that truly helps in difficult cases, not just the easy ones. Your work makes a real difference for families like ours.

If it’s drill and fill, or yank and scram, probably four or five stars. I won’t know because I never got to “yank and scream", so I give it only one star. After more than nine weeks of pain, angst, and hope, I got to “oral surgery consultation”. After lengthy discussions between student and “others” a treatment plan was approved. Thirteen days later, I turned up to get my tooth extracted. After sitting more than two hours in the dentist chair, I was told that the student could not proceed with the procedure because her faculty refused to approve the treatment. So, after months of waiting, all I was left with was pain, more angst, and no hope. This is a training facility where the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing, causing pain to the victim. I picked this place because of its association with the NY Presbyterian Hospital. What a painful mistake. It's like comparing heaven and hell.
