5 March 12-18, 2026 miaminewtimes.com | browardpalmbeach.com NEW TIMES | CONTENTS | LETTERS | NEWS | NIGHT+DAY | CULTURE | CAFE | MUSIC | ON CALL BY NATASHA YEE & NAOMI FEINSTEIN Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with his West Palm Beach concierge doctor. C onvicted child sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein utilized a vast network to commit his crimes, including doctors and medical specialists across the globe. Recent reporting from the New York Times documented the “small stable of doctors” that offered elite medical services to Epstein and the women surrounding him. Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, a West Palm Beach internal medicine specialist who also offers concierge care to the ultra-wealthy, was one of those doctors. In addition to treating Epstein’s routine medical is- sues, including bloodwork and back pain, Moskowitz also facilitated care for the women around him, often di- recting Epstein to physicians and gynecologists in other states and around the globe. And the connection be- tween Epstein and Moskowitz didn’t end at the exami- nation table or the reception desk. Emails and text messages released as part of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)’s latest Epstein file release reveal that the disgraced financier communicated regularly with Moskowitz, arranging dinner plans, inviting him and his wife Marsha to his New Mexico ranch, asking him to treat his two “friends” for gonorrhea, and contributing more than $200,000 to the doctor’s healthcare foundation. New Times pored over nearly 3,000 DOJ documents illustrating the layered relationship between Epstein and Moskowitz to produce this reporting. While serving as Epstein’s primary care physician and “internist to the world’s wealthy,” as Epstein de- scribed, Moskowitz was quietly shaping policy at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) during Presi- dent Donald Trump’s first administration. In 2018, Pro- Publica reporter Isaac Arnsdorf described Moskowitz as “one-third of an informal council that was exerting sweeping influence over the VA from Mar-a-Lago.” From 2010 to 2019, Moskowitz also appears to have exercised considerable influence over Epstein’s medical care. Moskowitz did not return New Times’ phone calls re- questing comment. On June 4, 2010, a Friday, Epstein received an email from a redacted address. “Jackie can get her TB test read by a doctor in PB; they will just have to fax the results to the place who gave her the shot. Should I schedule her to see Moskowitz on Monday morning?” Seventeen minutes later, Epstein responds, “yes.” Later that evening, another email, replying to Ep- stein, confirms Jackie’s 9:30 a.m. appointment with a nurse practitioner the following Monday. “Dr. Moskow- itz will be out of town,” the email continues. The exchange marks the first in a trove of emails and text messages involving Epstein, Moskowitz, and their associates. Some correspondence concerns Epstein’s personal healthcare, while others refer to the medical care of “girls,” “friends,” “women,” “partner,” and to re- ferrals to “a gyno” and other specialists. In a January 2018 text thread, Epstein appears to test positive for gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection. “Awake?” he asks the doctor at the wee hour of 4:05 a.m. “Nothing urgent positive gonorhea results.” Moskowitz responds promptly at 4:07 a.m.: “At Er call me early” The two then discuss whether the strain is “the chronic version and/or the drug resistant strain,” and the “culprit.” “I think to be safe my two friends should get shot by you tomorrow or send them somewhere close,” Epstein texts Moskowitz later that night. “Yes JFK ER >> p6 Illustration by Kristin Bjornsen / Source images via Adobe Stock
