My late husband was a patient and admirer of Dr. Decter, though they had no personal relationship outside of his usual bi-annual exams. After his death (unrelated to Dr. Decter's care) I had to review all my husbands files. My husband had a financial windfall in 2007 from a medical malpractice law suit. Since my husband credited Dr. Decter with saving his life, when he won his suit, he let Dr. Decter know it. You can imagine how vulnerable Scott was to the Dr. Now, not only did he credit him for saving his life, but also with the win of a lawsuit. Clearly, Dr. Decter believed that some of these funds should go to HIS family members, since I found, in searching my husbands files, that without a doubt, Dr. Decter encouraged my husband to invest a portion of those funds in Dr. Decter's Father-In-Laws company. The name of the company was Citala. Located in Israel. The company failed. The introduction to his father in law and the exchange of funds occurred at Dr. Decter's office located at 3003 New Hyde Park Rd during a routine scheduled physical exam. On May 16, 2014 I visited Dr. Decter in his office and confronted him with the file and information I found. These papers included letters from my husband BEGGING for help with the lost "investment". Bruce Decter placed his head on his desk and cried. He said he "really liked Scott" and that was the only reason he crossed this line with him. I suggested that he was my husbands cardiologist, not his financial advisor and that he crossed major ethical boundaries in brokering this transaction. To date, he has done nothing to make the situation whole. I have his "apology" and nothing more. So if you should decide to see Dr. Decter, be very sure to keep your wallet in your pocket, lest he or his relatives decide they may want what is in it. I am waiting Bruce. Call me anytime. And, Dr. Decter may take this review as a public challenge to deny one word of the truth as I will welcome the opportunity to display this fine, one piece of paper at a time.
