Snapshot
Document: EFTA00552910
Direct evidence link: View EFTA00552910
Date created: August 2, 2012
Date sent or filed: August 2, 2012
Date released: Published through the United States Department of Justice Epstein disclosures. The precise release date is not stated on the face of the record.
Author or creator: Unidentified or redacted correspondent
Sender: Unidentified or redacted correspondent
Recipient: Jeffrey Epstein
Custodian or producing source: United States Department of Justice, EFTA Data Set 9
Evidence type: Email concerning IVF, hormone treatment, and plans to arrange a medical appointment
Length and format: PDF reproduction of a short email exchange
Case or investigation: Department of Justice Epstein Files Transparency Act disclosure
People named: Jeffrey Epstein, Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, an unidentified correspondent, and a person identified only as Eva
Organizations named: No medical institution is expressly identified in the quoted reply. Dr. Rosenwaks was professionally affiliated with the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Locations named: No location is expressly stated in the available exchange.
Content warning: This record contains private fertility and reproductive health information, including references to IVF, hormone treatment, and a planned medical appointment.
Key takeaway: The email documents an unidentified correspondent telling Jeffrey Epstein that she was arranging an appointment with fertility specialist Dr. Zev Rosenwaks after Epstein said that he had been reading about IVF and wanted to speak before she began taking hormones. It establishes the communication and the stated intention to make an appointment. It does not establish that the appointment occurred or that any treatment was undertaken.
What Is This Record?
EFTA00552910 is a short email reply preserved among records released by the United States Department of Justice. The exchange concerns in vitro fertilization, commonly called IVF, hormone treatment, and a proposed appointment with reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Zev Rosenwaks.
The reply must be read together with EFTA00940204, which preserves the preceding message attributed to Jeffrey Epstein:
“I have been reading up on the invitro fertilization„ lets have a discussion before you start taking hormones.”
The correspondent replied:
“Ok thanks for looking into. I’m in the process of making an appointment with the doc Eva recommended, Zev Rosenwaks.”
The wording places Epstein inside a private discussion about the correspondent’s reproductive health planning. It also shows that the correspondent said a person named Eva had recommended Rosenwaks.
The record does not identify the correspondent in a manner that can be responsibly confirmed from this exchange alone. It also does not provide enough information to establish the identity of Eva.
Source and Provenance
Primary source: EFTA00552910 through Epstein Data
Epstein Data record: Direct EFTA00552910 record
Official or court source: United States Department of Justice copy of EFTA00552910
Official disclosure collection: Department of Justice Epstein Library
Archived copy: No independently authenticated archival copy was identified during this review.
The EFTA identifier allows the record to be located within the federal disclosure collection. Official publication provides strong evidence of the record’s provenance as a document contained in the government production. It does not independently prove that every statement made inside the email was accurate or that every plan mentioned in it was completed.
EpsteinWiki’s DOJ Vault Data Set 9, 10, and 11 Files page provides additional context about the numbered federal productions and the limitations that apply when interpreting released records.
What the Record Contains
The record preserves two connected communications.
First, Epstein wrote that he had been reading about IVF and wanted to have a discussion before the correspondent began taking hormones.
Second, the correspondent thanked Epstein for looking into the subject and said she was in the process of arranging an appointment with Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, whom a person named Eva had recommended.
The exchange contains four significant elements.
- Epstein was discussing IVF with the correspondent.
- Epstein referred specifically to the possibility that the correspondent would begin taking hormones.
- The correspondent told Epstein that she was arranging an appointment with Rosenwaks.
- The correspondent attributed the recommendation of Rosenwaks to someone identified only as Eva.
The email does not disclose the correspondent’s diagnosis, treatment history, intended reproductive arrangement, relationship with Epstein, or reason for including him in the discussion.
Key Evidence Points
Epstein was discussing IVF and hormone treatment
Epstein’s message was not a generic reference to fertility medicine. He wrote about IVF in direct relation to the correspondent beginning hormone treatment and requested a discussion before that occurred.
This establishes that Epstein was engaging with the correspondent about a prospective medical decision. The record does not explain whether the correspondent had requested his research or advice.
The correspondent said she was arranging an appointment
The reply states that the correspondent was “in the process of making an appointment.” That wording documents an expressed intention and an ongoing scheduling effort.
It does not prove that an appointment was successfully scheduled, attended, or followed by medical treatment.
Dr. Zev Rosenwaks was named as the proposed physician
The correspondent identified Dr. Zev Rosenwaks as the physician she intended to contact. Weill Cornell Medicine identifies Rosenwaks as a specialist in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and as Director and Physician in Chief of the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine.
Weill Cornell also describes his work in assisted reproductive technology, IVF, ovarian stimulation, egg donation, cryopreservation, and related fertility care.
His appearance in the email is consistent with the subject being discussed. It does not establish that Rosenwaks met the correspondent, knew about Epstein’s participation in the conversation, communicated with Epstein, or committed any wrongdoing.
A person named Eva reportedly recommended Rosenwaks
The correspondent wrote that Rosenwaks was “the doc Eva recommended.” The email does not provide Eva’s surname or any other identifying information.
One possible interpretation is that the reference concerned Eva Andersson Dubin, a physician and longtime Epstein associate whose name appears elsewhere in the released records. The email itself does not establish that identification. The reference must therefore remain unresolved unless corroborating correspondence or metadata confirms it.
The record belongs to a broader group of fertility related communications
Other released records contain references to fertility specialists, egg freezing, sperm banking, hormones, egg retrieval, and cryogenic storage. Those records make this email relevant to broader research into Epstein’s repeated involvement in private reproductive discussions.
They do not automatically concern the same woman, the same proposed treatment, or the same reproductive plan. Similar subject matter is not proof of a shared episode.
What the Record Does and Does Not Prove
What it establishes
- An email attributed to Epstein states that he had been reading about IVF.
- Epstein asked to have a discussion before the correspondent began taking hormones.
- The correspondent replied that she was in the process of arranging an appointment.
- The proposed physician was identified as Dr. Zev Rosenwaks.
- The correspondent said a person named Eva had recommended Rosenwaks.
- The exchange occurred on August 2, 2012.
- The communication was preserved within records released through the federal EFTA disclosure process.
What it does not establish
- It does not identify the correspondent with sufficient certainty.
- It does not prove that the appointment was completed.
- It does not prove that the correspondent became Rosenwaks’s patient.
- It does not prove that hormone treatment began.
- It does not prove that IVF, egg retrieval, egg freezing, embryo creation, fertilization, implantation, or pregnancy occurred.
- It does not identify the source of any sperm, eggs, or embryos.
- It does not establish Epstein’s biological participation in any reproductive procedure.
- It does not explain why Epstein was researching IVF or why the correspondent discussed the matter with him.
- It does not prove that Epstein paid for, directed, controlled, or coerced medical treatment.
- It does not prove that Rosenwaks knew Epstein was involved in the private discussion.
- It does not establish that Rosenwaks communicated with Epstein about this correspondent.
- It does not establish that the person named Eva was Eva Andersson Dubin.
- It does not show that the correspondent was an Epstein employee, survivor, victim, recruiter, or participant in criminal conduct.
- It does not independently connect this exchange to reported claims concerning Epstein’s interest in reproduction, genetics, eugenics, or impregnating multiple women.
- It does not establish wrongdoing by the correspondent, Rosenwaks, or the person identified only as Eva.
Unresolved questions
- Who was the correspondent?
- What relationship did the correspondent have with Epstein?
- Did the correspondent ask Epstein to research IVF, or did he undertake that research independently?
- Why did Epstein want a discussion before hormone treatment began?
- Was an appointment with Rosenwaks actually scheduled?
- Did the correspondent attend an appointment or receive treatment?
- Who was the person identified as Eva?
- Did Eva communicate directly with the correspondent, Epstein, or Rosenwaks?
- Are there earlier or later messages that provide the missing medical and scheduling context?
- Does an unredacted or more complete version preserve additional headers, recipients, attachments, or identifying metadata?
- Why does another DOJ linked copy, EFTA01873860, appear to preserve the same quoted exchange?
- Are the two EFTA files duplicates, separate exports of the same chain, or parts of a longer correspondence?
People and Entities Appearing in the Record
Jeffrey Epstein
Jeffrey Epstein was the recipient of the reply and the apparent author of the preceding message. His statement shows that he was reading about IVF and expected to discuss the subject before the correspondent began hormone treatment.
The record does not explain his authority, motive, or intended role.
Unidentified correspondent
The correspondent said she was arranging an appointment with Rosenwaks. Because the communication concerns private reproductive health information and the available record does not establish her identity, she should remain unidentified.
No criminal inference should be drawn from her participation in a private medical discussion.
Dr. Zev Rosenwaks
Rosenwaks is a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist. Weill Cornell identifies him as a leading physician in assisted reproduction and IVF.
The email names him as a physician recommended to the correspondent. It does not document direct communication between Rosenwaks and Epstein, confirm that an appointment occurred, or suggest misconduct by Rosenwaks.
Eva
Eva is identified only as the person who recommended Rosenwaks. No surname, address, professional title, or other unique identifier appears in the quoted exchange.
Although Eva Andersson Dubin is a possible contextual match, that identification is not established by EFTA00552910.
United States Department of Justice
The Department of Justice published the record as part of the federal Epstein disclosure collection. Its role here concerns custody and public release, not authorship of the email or verification of every statement within it.
Timeline Significance
The exchange occurred on August 2, 2012, several years after Epstein’s 2008 Florida conviction and incarceration. It therefore documents continued private access to Epstein during the period after his conviction.
Within the immediate email sequence, the chronology is straightforward.
- Epstein said he had been reading about IVF.
- He requested a discussion before the correspondent began taking hormones.
- The correspondent replied that she was arranging an appointment with Rosenwaks.
This sequence matters because the reply is not an isolated mention of a physician. It directly answers Epstein’s message about IVF and hormone planning.
Within the broader record, EFTA00552910 is relevant because other released communications also associate Epstein with fertility related discussions. Researchers should compare those records for recurring names, referrals, dates, and procedures while avoiding the unsupported assumption that every message involved one coordinated plan.

Apparent duplicate or parallel copy
EFTA01873860: DOJ Record Containing the IVF and Rosenwaks Exchange
A DOJ linked copy cited in secondary reporting appears to preserve the same exchange. Unless file metadata establishes otherwise, it should be treated as a duplicate or parallel production, not independent corroboration.
Broader fertility related records
EFTA02329528: 2016 Email Referencing a Visit to a Fertility Specialist With Epstein and Karyna Shuliak
This later record concerns a fertility specialist and different identified participants. It provides thematic context but does not establish that the 2012 correspondent was Karyna Shuliak.
EFTA00827984: 2016 Email From Jeffrey Epstein Asking About Sperm Banking
This email documents Epstein raising a separate fertility preservation subject several years later.
EFTA00835392: 2018 Email About an Egg Retrieval Procedure Communicated to Jeffrey Epstein
This record concerns a later medical procedure. It does not establish any connection to the unidentified correspondent in EFTA00552910.
EFTA00841630: 2018 Email Discussing Egg Freezing Hormones and Immigration Assistance With Jeffrey Epstein
This later communication combines references to reproductive health and administrative assistance. It must be evaluated as a separate exchange involving its own participants and circumstances.
EFTA00313848: California Cryobank Liability and Specimen Control Terms Signed by Jeffrey Epstein
This record concerns contractual terms governing stored reproductive material.
EFTA00313838: California Cryobank Specimen Storage Agreement Signed by Jeffrey Epstein
This agreement is potentially relevant to research concerning Epstein’s documented interest in reproductive material and storage. It does not prove that the 2012 exchange resulted in any specimen collection or storage.
The presence of multiple fertility related records supports further investigation into Epstein’s recurring interest in reproductive medicine. It does not permit the separate records to be merged into one factual narrative without documentary links between them.
Reliability and Limitations
EFTA00552910 is strongest as primary communication evidence. It records what the participants wrote and shows that the subject of IVF, hormones, and a proposed appointment entered their correspondence.
Its principal limitations are substantial.
- The correspondent’s identity is not established.
- The record provides only a narrow section of the surrounding conversation.
- The full reason for Epstein’s involvement is absent.
- The person named Eva is not uniquely identified.
- No appointment confirmation, medical record, invoice, calendar entry, or later treatment report is included.
- The quoted text contains spelling and punctuation irregularities that may derive from the original messages, export process, or text extraction.
- The record does not reveal whether other recipients were included.
- A repeated copy of the same email does not constitute independent corroboration.
- Secondary reporting can help locate connected records, but its interpretations must remain separate from what the primary email proves.
Under the EpsteinWiki Evidence Framework, this record should be classified as primary communication evidence. It establishes the content of the exchange. It does not establish completion of the medical plans discussed within it.
Survivor Safety and Privacy Review
This record contains highly sensitive reproductive health information about an unidentified person. Publication should preserve the evidentiary value of the exchange without exposing unnecessary personal information.
The correspondent’s identity should not be inferred from adjacent records, email address fragments, social associations, or similarity to other fertility related messages unless independent evidence conclusively establishes the match.
No private email address, telephone number, medical account information, date of birth, address, or other personal identifier should be reproduced.
The correspondent should not be described as a survivor, victim, employee, accomplice, or romantic partner unless reliable evidence separately establishes that status. Participation in this email does not itself support any such classification.
The reference to medical care should be limited to what the record states. There is no basis to disclose or speculate about a diagnosis, fertility history, pregnancy status, sexual history, or intended parentage.
Why This Record Matters
EFTA00552910 matters because it provides a direct, contemporaneous reply to Epstein’s message about IVF and hormones. The correspondent’s response shows that the discussion was connected to a concrete proposed action: arranging an appointment with a named fertility specialist.
The email also identifies a referral path. A person named Eva reportedly recommended Rosenwaks, and the correspondent communicated that information to Epstein. That detail may help researchers locate connected messages or scheduling records.
The record becomes more significant when placed beside other released fertility related communications involving Epstein. Those materials document that reproductive medicine was not mentioned only once in his correspondence.
At the same time, the email is a clear example of why careful evidence boundaries matter. It records a conversation and an intended appointment. It does not prove treatment, parentage, biological participation, coercion, or a larger reproductive program.
Its value lies in the precise fact it establishes: Epstein was directly involved in a private IVF and hormone discussion with an unidentified correspondent who said she was arranging an appointment with Zev Rosenwaks.
Fact Check
Verification status: The EFTA record, date, quoted exchange, companion message, and professional identity of Zev Rosenwaks have been cross checked against the linked documentary and institutional sources. The identities of the correspondent and Eva remain unverified. The occurrence of any appointment or treatment also remains unverified.
