Gynecologist With Criminal Charges Wishes Cancer on Breastfeeding Consultant

A breastfeeding consultant, Mirit Rosenbaum, received an email from Guy Rofeh, a doctor facing ongoing criminal proceedings for alleged sexual offenses against clients. Rofeh, whose medical license was suspended and extended for five years, offered to distribute his pregnancy and childbirth guides to Rosenbaum's clients. Rosenbaum recognized his name from the ongoing legal cases and was surprised the email arrived at her personal address. She responded, stating she had not authorized promotional material and that Rofeh was not permitted to present himself as a doctor.

In response, Rofeh sent a vitriolic message wishing Rosenbaum a cancer diagnosis, calling her "stupid, lonely, and unhappy," and signing off as "Doctor Guy Rofeh," listing himself as a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics. Rosenbaum subsequently shared a screenshot of the exchange on Facebook, reporting that many women contacted her with their own alleged negative experiences with Rofeh.

When contacted by N12, Rofeh admitted to sending the threatening email, attributing his outburst to personal attacks against him and threats made against his children's lives on the same day. He stated he had reached his breaking point. Rofeh also emphasized that he has not yet been convicted and considers any claims of sexual offenses or convictions against him to be harassment or an attempt to influence legal proceedings.
