When Money, Power and Medicine Meet: Doctors in the Epstein Files

The Department of Justice released millions of pages of Epstein-related records. These files have revealed that a small group of doctors provided VIP medical care to Jeffrey Epstein and to women in his orbit, while receiving payments and donations.

One email thread describes a plastic surgeon closing a woman's head wound with 35 stitches on Epstein's dining room table. Donations from Epstein to Mount Sinai and its Dubin Breast Center are documented; Eva Andersson-Dubin is shown arranging referrals for women. In Florida, Epstein's longtime doctor, Bruce Moskowitz, suggested women go to an emergency room so he would not have to report gonorrhea cases to the health department. Although some doctors have said they did not know of illegal activity, ethicists argue the pattern undermines consent and patient privacy. Since the Justice Department's January 30, 2026 public release, hospitals and medical boards have faced new questions about ethics and oversight. Mount Sinai has formed a committee to review its ties to Epstein and to consider appropriate steps. Experts say that power, gifts and donations can shape clinical choices, and some commentators call for stronger enforcement of medical rules.
