IL DOTTORE is the gripping account of how a 'nerdy Jewish kid' from the Bronx became physician to New York godfathers like John Gotti, Carlos Gambino and Joe Bonanno. In Mafia circles he became known simply as Il Dottore. At the same time he was gaining a reputation as a top cardiac surgeon.
Author Ron Felber paints a vivid portrait of Il Dottore's amazing double life during the 1970s and'80s.
When he wasn't making house calls on Dons,the doctor was asked to dispose of evidence such as bullets used in hits,medical records and other sensitive material,and also acted as a courier while attending international medical conferences.
In return,he was welcomed into an exciting and glamorous underworld of disco,drugs,high-stakes gambling and beautiful women.
But when an informant ended up on his operating table - and at his mercy - his two worlds collided,with devastating consequences.
Torn between his loyalty to La Cosa ostra and his devotion to the Hippocratic Oath,Il Dottore followed his heart.It was a decision that would change his life forever.
