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.
