What They're Saying

Praise for the books

"

Doctor Not Guilty is not a book about a verdict. It is a book about truth, courage, and what a man does when his name, his calling, and his future are put on trial. A great example of resilience.

Doctor Not Guilty is more than a memoir. It is a powerful testament to resilience, integrity, and the courage to tell the truth — a gripping and important story that will stay with readers long after the final page.

"

I believed you and I believed in your defense from the beginning — that's why I took your case. Your innocence led to a not guilty verdict and I thank God he allowed me to play even a small part in vindicating you.

A Personal Journey of Survival

Muhamad Aly Rifai, MD survived machine gun fire as a child in war-torn Syria. He escaped thyroid cancer. He walked away from a car crash that should have killed him.

Yet nothing prepared him for the most dangerous enemy of all: the United States government.

DOCTOR NOT GUILTY is a devastating exposé of how America criminalizes medicine. It's the story of prosecutors who mistake complexity for conspiracy, algorithms that hunt doctors like prey, and a justice system that devours the healers it should protect.

From the courtrooms of Pennsylvania to the corridors of power in Washington, this is an urgent warning: When healing becomes a crime, we all become victims.
