A trove of documents reveals how a small group of doctors cultivated by Jeffrey Epstein provided medical services to him and the young women in his orbit, sometimes compromising ethical standards. The doctors, who received hefty payments and other perks from Epstein, treated the women for various conditions, including sexually transmitted infections, and shared their private health information with Epstein without their consent.

Why it matters

Epstein's ability to leverage his wealth and connections to access elite medical care highlights the troubling power dynamics at play, where vulnerable individuals were exploited by a wealthy and influential predator. This case raises broader questions about the ethical obligations of medical professionals and the need for stronger safeguards to protect patient privacy, especially for those in positions of lesser power.

The details

The doctors involved include plastic surgeon Dr. Jess Ting, who stitched up a young woman's head wound at Epstein's dining room table; internist Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, who helped Epstein and two women get treatment for gonorrhea while avoiding reporting the cases to health authorities; and dermatologist Dr. Steven Victor, who performed procedures on women referred by Epstein and asked the financier to co-sign a car lease. Epstein also used his connections to get women positions at Mount Sinai hospital, where his longtime friend Dr. Eva Dubin worked.

  • In 2012, Epstein directed a young Russian woman to see Dr. Dubin for a gynecological referral.
  • In 2013, Epstein asked Dr. Dubin to arrange an appointment at Mount Sinai for Kathryn Ruemmler, a former White House lawyer.
  • In 2018, Epstein and Dr. Moskowitz discussed a woman's abnormal blood test results and her eligibility for an acne treatment.
