A Crescent Springs dentist is facing federal charges for allegedly distributing drugs inappropriately which resulted in the death of a patient.
Dr. Jay Sadrinia owns the Northern Kentucky Dental Center. According to the website, he’s practiced dentistry for more than 30 years.
From August 4, 2020, to Aug. 26, 2020, Sadrinia allegedly distributed a total of 60 oxycodone pills and 48 morphine sulfate pills to the patient. According to court papers, the prescriptions were not issued for a legitimate medical purpose and “outside the scope of professional practice”.
If convicted, Sadrinia could face more than 20 years in prison.
An arrest warrant was issued on Monday for Sadrinia’s arrest. He has pleaded not guilty to four counts of unlawful distribution of oxycodone and morphine sulfate and one count of distribution of morphine sulfate resulting in death.
