Il Dottore

Il Dottore is the true story of a nerdy Jewish kid from the Bronx, who, through a series of circumstances, became physician to top Mafia Dons including John Gotti, Carlos Gambino and Joe Bonanno. At the same time, his reputation as a medical genius was spreading, and he was fast becoming one of the nation's leading cardiac surgeons. Ron Felber paints a vivid portrait of this doctor's unlikely life in the fast lane as he becomes a top confidante of New York's most notorious criminals. Eventually he is forced to make a choice between his loyalty to the mafia and his medical career.
