Doctor of the Heart is a compelling account of a phenomenal career in medicine. The book combines both personal recollections of Dr Rosenfeld's career that took him all over the world whenever and wherever his patients need him. And while these are very important and distinguished patients, it is evident that this is the kind of care Dr. Rosenfeld would give to any patient. Why has medicine changed so drastically? I especially enjoyed the chapter about his care of Onassis and another about when he was totally determined to solve the medical problem for one of his patients that other doctors had given up on. Other doctors: Are your listening???? As I read this book I learned and I laughed, and I hope there will be a sequel. Great holiday gift.

Dr. Isadore's book is a wonderful look inside the life of a dedicated physician. I watch him every Sunday morning on Fox News. His book describes his reasons for becoming a doctor and all that he's learned along the way...much of which came from patients he's treated. I enjoyed the book for it's heartfelt sharing of the ups and downs, tears and
joy that this compassionate doctor has experienced in his profession for so many years. I think this book should be required reading for every person in medical school! I have recommended it to many friends and relatives...may even give a copy to my doctor!

EVERY TIME THAT I PICKED UP DR.ROSENFELD'S NEW BOOK, "DOCTOR OF THE HEART", I JUST COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN UNTIL MY EYES JUST COULDN'T READ ANY LONGER!

THE BOOK IS TRULY THE MOST WONDERFUL,ENJOYING AND INSPIRING WORK THAT I HAVE EVER READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!
THE HUMOR,THE GREAT WILL AND DEDICATION OF THIS WONDERFUL MAN WILL TOUCH EVERYONE'S HEART WITH THE JOY AND HOPE FOR THE READER AS WELL AS FOR THEIR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES.

YOU WILL CHUCKLE, YOU WILL SIGH, YOU WILL EVEN TEAR UP WITH JOY AND HAPPINESS AS YOU THIRST FOR THE NEXT PAGE TO TURN TO SEE WHAT ELSE THIS GREAT HUMANITARIAN HAS GONE THROUGH TO BECOME MY AND EVERYONE'S DOCTOR OF THE HEART.

MANY YEARS AGO MY SONG WRITING BROTHER WROTE A SONG CALLED "WORDS FAIL ME". THE SONG WAS ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF LIFE. I CAN SINCERELY SAY THAT DR. ROSENFELD'S NEW BOOK IS SO WONDERFUL FOR ALL PEOPLE TO READ THAT I CANNOT FIND THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT. IN OTHER WORDS "WORDS FAIL ME".

You will come to appreciate his outstanding medical mind even more as you watch him every Sunday am on the Fox News " House Call " after you read this incredible life story !!!!

Run.....don't walk to buy this book !!!!!

Do not read Doctor of the Heart if you expect to go to sleep before the end. It is just not possible. Not only does this book reveal true-life medical events and solutions, but they are intertwined with humor and mystery book-like situations that continue on, making it impossible to tear yourself away. Besides all this, it is a Horatio Alger rags-to-riches story as grand as any. I have known Isadore Rosenfeld for nearly 40 years, and the brilliance of this book is not surprising. He is a unique individual and recognized in the medical profession as one of the more brilliant doctors in the world. The book demonstrates why.

I love the way the book begins with an engrossing description of Dr. Rosenfeld's childhood and how he chose a career in medicine. He is an inspiration to me and every other doctor who cares about his
patients.

Having been a physician for 54 years I was surprised and gratified to learn as much as I did regarding the development of medical technology and it's appropriate use. The book contains many, what Doctors refer to as, "pearls" that I will take with me long after finishing it. Dr. Rosenfeld's book is important for it's view of the practice of medicine and the life of an accomplished Physician. I strongly recommend it to both Doctors and lay persons alike.

This book will captivate you! With every page, Dr Rosenfeld recounts an extraordinary career in medicine filled with humor, wisdom and humility that will touch your heart. You will learn about famous people, ordinary people and medical advances written in a conversational style that will leave you wanting more. If you have ever wondered about the man behind the TV persona, these revealing chapters will delight you. You will recognize his brilliant wit and discover how he has been able to heal and educate millions. This is a great read!

Dr. Rosenfeld is the kind of doctor you would definitely want if you were very sick. He has vast experience and his book is an excellent review of his life as a doctor and an easy read. I never miss Dr. Rosenfeld's Fox News House Call program each Sunday morning since he's also fun to listen to.

A very good and informative read. The "doc" had a humble beginning and developed into a fabulous cardiologist.
