Dear Judge Seibel,

We have known Ameet Goyal for past 15 years. Our paths crossed when our wives met at a fencing tournament
for our daughters, and we learned that we both lived in Westchester. We did not know this would be the beginning of a
lifelong friendship. While our kids grew up together, so did our relationship. We met regularly and enjoyed dinners,
family celebrations and knew we were always there for each other.

During these 15 plus years we have developed immense respect for Ameet. His commitment to his spouse, kids
and parents was commendable. His family’s wellbeing and kids’ upbringing was of utmost importance to him. Ameet
has always had values that promote family relationships, friendships and living life with purpose and honesty. He took
utmost care of his father suffering from terminal cancer. At the end stage of his father’s cancer, it took a lot of courage
on Ameet’s part to convince his family as a physician it was best to admit his father to a hospice where his father could
die with dignity and respect. With apprehension and love Ameet did the right thing for his father. He showed though
cure js not possible caring is always possible.

We saw Ameet’s generosity to several causes and marveled at how he was so kind to all our friends’ kids
including my son. All our kids interned at his office and he generously and unselfishly devoted hours of training and
mentorship to them. He took keen interest in their careers or tracks they were considering pursuing and guided them
just-as their own parent. My son came home and shared the amazing inspirational stories and leadership Ameet shared
with him.

As a group we had regular card game nights, which were filled with laughter and goodwill among friends while
we played games and shared jokes and were representative of our relationship with Ameet. His participation elevated
the evenings due to his ability to instill a sense of camaraderie and cohesiveness in the group. Everyone agrees Ameet is
the backbone of this supportive and loving group of friends.

As a physician | had the opportunity to see Ameet’s selfless contribution to my geriatric patients. He was always
ready to offer free guidance on their eye issues and would find ingenious solutions suitable for a population that is too
frail for surgery, while balancing the need for vision with quality of life.

We all cherish Ameet’s friendship, honesty, generosity, unselfish deeds, and contagious humor. There is a lot
Ameet can continue to contribute to family, community, and patients. | hope | have been able to express what an
exceptional person is, with devotion to community and friends and is deserving of leniency when considering his
sentencing. Respectfully,

To The Honorable Judge Seibel:

I am writing this letter on behalf of Ameet Goyal. My name is Enza Dattero. My
husband and I have known Ameet and his family for approximately 15 years. We met
through our daughters, who attended elementary school together. Although our daughters
are grown now, we have kept in touch and continued our friendship. We want to stand up
for Ameet and his family and provide you with some insight into the Ameet Goyal that
we know.

I can attest that Ameet was an excellent physician who diligently cared for me when I
Even more importantly, I know Ameet to be a good

Tien . He is also a wonderful father to
three kind, bright, and conscientious children. He and Alka, his wife, have done a
excellent job of raising them, but a parent’s work is never done. His children are special
young adults who look to their father for strength and guidance. Over the years, we have
been to the Goyals’ home and met their extended families for special occasions. It is clear
that Ameet was raised by respectable parents, and he has passed this virtue on to his
children. Through our friendship, we have each shared our mutual challenges in raising
children in this complex world. I know that Ameet’s parenting efforts have made a
positive impact on his children’s lives. They all attended excellent universities and are
thriving in their work.

I hope that you will take all this into consideration as you make your decision about
Ameet’s future. He is a family man, and his family needs him desperately. As his
children move forward through adulthood, they will likely face life’s many difficulties.
They will need their father more than ever.

Respectfully,

Enza Dattero

Dear Judge Seibel,

Our names are Gerry and Kathy Friscia. We currently live in Stamford, CT since 2010.

Previously we lived in Rye, NY for 26 years. We first met Ameet Goyal when he moved to Rye with his
Family. He moved across the street from us. We have known Ameet and his family for 28 years. Our
Children went to school together. From the moment the Goyal family moved in our neighborhood we
became very good friends. We have shared many of lives peaks and valleys.

Our families shared many
memorable moments together. Ameet has always been an exemplary father and member of the Rye
community. We have always admired this about Ameet.

Even though we have moved out of the Rye Community and through this very trying and difficult time
we have continued to maintain our friendship. Ameet has continued to be a true and loyal friend to our
family. He is a very spiritual person with a compassionate heart. He truly loves his family and

community.

In closing we just like to reiterate that Ameet is a trustworthy friend, he treats his family and friends
with respect, is a responsible father and citizen and most of all a caring individual.

Respectfully,

Gerry and Kathy Friscia

RE: Ameet Goyal
Dear Judge Seibel:

My family and I have known Ameet Goyal and his family since our two sons, now 28 years old,
were both in grammar school. We spent time together at the kids sporting events, and later as
members of the Coveleigh Club in Rye, NY.

At Coveleigh, Ameet and I were tennis partners in a weekly game every Sunday morning at
8:00am, I can’t vouch for his tennis game, but I can say that as long as I have known him I only
knew a kind, affable and generous person, He was very interested and respectful of others and
always willing to help.

Ameet was tremendously proud of his family, and he and Alka should be commended for raising
very smart, well-adjusted and accomplished young adults. I never thought I would have to write
a letter like this on Ameet’s behalf, and I hope it adds a positive perspective of Ameet, the person
and family man I have known for over 20 years,

Sincerely,

Dear Judge Seibel,

My name is Jason Contreras. | have known Ameet Goyal since 2014 and he quickly
became a father figure to me. Shortly after graduating college, | started my personal
training career at the Rye YMCA where Ameet was my first client—our personalities
immediately connected. Throughout our training sessions he would ask me about
my life—my family, my dreams, and my goals. He would always leave me with wise
words of wisdom and make me think about the direction my life was headed.

After a few sessions passed he asked me if | would like to grab lunch with him. |
joked about my student debt and said, “only if you’re buying!” We laughed and
walked to the deli in town. As we ate, he looked at me and asked, “Jason what is
your long-term goal?” Confused by the question, | asked what he meant. He smiled
and said, “You’re a hard-working young man, currently working 60+ hours a week.
What do you plan on doing when you're 40 with a family? You need to look for a
career, my friend.” | looked at him silently for a bit, then said, “| don’t know... | truly
never thought that far into the future.” Ameet smiled and said, “You’re an amazing
guy, Jason! | have a few friends in the medical sales industry and | would be pleased
to introduce you to them. Maybe they can help you decide on the best career path!”

Today | am currently working as a Sales Manager for an international medical
company. | know that had it not been for Ameet Goyal, | would not be the man! am
today. | have him to thank for my current career and success. Thank you Judge, |
appreciate you taking the time to read my letter.

Dear Judge Seibel,

I was privileged to first meet Dr. Ameet Goyal about 15 years ago when he invited me to lead a
meditation group in his home. For several years I met with Ameet and a number of his friends
and neighbors in this capacity. Watching Dr. Goyal interact with everyone, it was easy to see
that he is a kind, generous, dedicated man of high character who cares deeply for everyone else
around him.

It was a long journey from my home in eastern Connecticut to theirs in Rye so he graciously
offered me a room in their home so I would not have to travel back so late at night. This gave
me a chance to visit with him and his family personally after classes. His children, like their
father, are exceptionally bright, well rounded, caring individuals. I always had the feeling there

was a bright light in the center of this home. People who raise such a family are special and rare.

The irony is that I came to teach and inspire this group but most often it was I who left for home
the next day inspired by them. Dr. Goyal is a man dedicated to being the best he can be for his
patients, neighbors and his family.

This is a very, very good man.

Yours sincerely,

Rick Pezzullo

Dear Judge Seibel:

| have known Ameet Goyal for 25 years. Although | do not understand what happened in this
case, | offer this letter in hopes of the Court to show leniency to him in his sentencing.

| wish to share a simple antidote of Ameet’s character in caring for me and my family. (3

Ameet did not have to do any of this, nor was he asked to do this.

. Yet, Ameet went well above and beyond to help
ease the anxiety of my family, This antidote shows the true character of Ameet in caring for others well
above the norm.

Dear Judge Seibel.

I am writing on behalf of Dr. Ameet Goyal in my capacity as a long standing friend and
colleague of more than 20 years. | am a practicing pediatrician and first met Dr. Goyal when
he came to United Hospital in Port Chester to deliver a lecture to my department. I was
immediately impressed with his erudition and warm personality. Over the years I have had
many occasions to refer patients to him. He was always responsive and delivered excellent care
no matter what time of day or night and was always generous with his time. 1 also trusted to
him to do complicated surgery on my wife and he went above and beyond in his post op and
follow-up care. | hope someday he will be able to return to practice. The community would
greatly benefit from his extraordinary skills.

the necessary medicines needed for a successful outcome.

Dear Judge Seibel:

| have had the opportunity to work beside Ameet Goyal for the past 20 years. He is also
a patient | have known for many years. | find him to be an extremely kind, warm hearted
individual who always made time for patients. He never says no to a consult, is
extremely accommodating to both physicians and patients, and patients felt very
comfortable in his care.

He has worked long hours and is always present. Many late hours one can see him in
the ER performing a procedure of taking a patient for emergent surgery. He is extremely
kind to his patience and reassuring. He volunteered many hours during Covid-19 to help
many patients who needed assistance.

Ameet is always there for his family and has extremely kind children who are
academically brilliant. His wife has had many medical issues and scares. He has
always been by her side and has been a real pillar in her complicated medical history.
Many times, he has driven her to the hospital which has prevented her from getting
more extensive heart ischemic disease and brittle asthma.

I'm asking you to take Dr. Ameet Goyal’s compassion, dedication and love of family into
consideration. He's a very loyal and loving father, husband, and friend.

Dear Judge Seibel:

I am writing on behalf of Dr. Ameet Goyal. I have known Ameet for at least 15 years.
My practice is predominantly Mohs and excisional surgery for skin cancer. | have
collaborated with Dr. Goyal involving eyelid cancers. In his capacity as an oculoplastics
surgeon, he has reconstructed many eyelid and periorbital cancers that I have removed
with Mohs surgery.

He was always forthcoming and interested in those patients. To my knowledge, those
patients were pleased with his treatment. Coincidently, I saw a patient today for a skin
cancer in another area. We reviewed her previous surgeries including an eyelid cancer in
which Dr. Goyal reconstructed the defect. She was pleased with the result and mentioned
his kindness toward her.

In conclusion, my experience with Dr, Goyal in regard to our overlapping patients was
of a kind, compassionate and caring physician.

advice on patient care and life in general. He is a caring man who took the extra step to

care for the people around him.

When | was a young doctor he sent me a entire library of books concerning the eyes
which | still use to this day. We also had fun talking about old Indian movies and our

favorite foods.

Life has its twists and turn but | think that goodness is probably in the heart and not so in

Dear Judge Seibel,

| have known Dr. Ameet Goyal over the period of the past twenty-six years. The first ten
years of my personal knowledge and work experience with Dr. Goyal commenced at the United
Hospital Medical Center in Port Chester, NY; where I served as Chief of the Department of
Anesthesiology. | later worked with Dr. Goyal for a period of ten years while | served as an
anesthesiologist at Westchester Ambulatory Surgery Medical Center in White Plains, NY. I most
recently worked with Dr. Goyal over the span of six years at his private office in Rye, NY. I
personally witnessed throughout this twenty-six year period how Dr. Goyal has always
demonstrated the utmost quality of professionalism and competence- in both the care of his
patients as well as his knowledge and dexterity in practicing his specialty.

Dr. Ameet Goyal has not only been a venerable and reputable colleague of mine, but also
a willingly compassionate and considerate teacher to his students, residents, and fellow
colleagues alike in regard to techniques and mastery of his specialty. Ameet is not only a
colleague to me, but also a personal close friend. My friend, Dr. Ameet Goyal, has incessantly
demonstrated the highest echelon of integrity as well as displayed peak moral and ethical
judgment when providing medical care of my family and patients- regardless of their ability to
afford his private services. Compassion and community service are unequivocally natural pillars
and primary components of Dr. Goyal’s character. I have personally witnessed throughout my
extensive work and personal experiences with Dr. Goyal how he has consistently demonstrated
the aforementioned upstanding character, integrity, & fitness throughout the entirety of his years
of practice.

The past twenty-six years my family and I have been blessed not only through Dr.
Goyal’s ophthalmological care, but even more so via the friendship, kindness, and love that he
spreads, I genuinely believe Dr. Goyal loves and treats others, including my family, as equally as
he does towards his own family as such a loving upstanding husband and father.

I can especially recall a handful of similar interactions | shared with Dr. Ameet Goyal
where each account further illustrates his exemplary character laden with integrity, compassion,

1 A-045
Case 7:19-cr-00844-CS Document 104-3 Filed 02/17/22 Page 16 of 21

ethics, and morality among countless similar virtuous traits. | remember innumerable occasions
in which I was contacted to come into United Hospital for emergency cases, often late at night on
weekends, sadly knowing that Dr. Ameet Goyal would not be reimbursed financially for his
time, services, and inherent risks to quickly making it to the hospital and performing the actual
medical procedure. | was amazed and my heart was always warmed when Dr. Goyal would
insist to me that he was only thinking and caring about the patients’ needs and well-being.

Dr. Ameet Goyal is an immensely caring, doting, compassionate, ethical, moral, virtuous,
and professional man, doctor, teacher, mentor, community member, father, and husband. |
genuinely hope and respectfully request the court and the Honorable Judges to utilize the same
degree of care and compassion in their consideration of my letter, as Dr. Goyal undoubtedly
exercised with each and every member of the community in need of medical treatment
throughout his practice.

Sincerely, Ad *

To Whom it May Concern;

I am writing this letter to attest to the extraordinarily good character of Ameet
Goyal MD who! have known for over 30 years. When I practiced general
Ophthalmology in Greenwich Ct, I would frequently refer oculoplastic cases to
Dr. Goyal. Often the cases were difficult and he always achieved a good result.
Moreover, the patients were always happy with his care and concern and sang
his praises on return to my care.

There was a particular case which I think exemplified Dr Goyal’s
professionalism and humanity. A friend of mine had a girlfriend who was
visiting him for an extended period of time. He brought her to my office
because she noticed a growth on her eyelid. I suspected Basal Cell cancer and
obtained a biopsy which confirmed it. Unfortunately, the cancer looked like it
involved an extensive portion of the eyelid and would need resection surgery
urgently to control its spread. She had no medical insurance and was
unwilling to have surgery even though it was medically necessary. I contacted
Dr. Goyal and explained the situation. He saw her immediately and
volunteered to do the surgery at a very minimal cost which she could afford.
She had an excellent result and was very grateful that I had referred her to Dr
Goyal. He really saved her eye for minimal financial compensation. He is the
type of doctor of whom the medical community should be proud.

Sincerely.

Re: Ameet Goyal, MD

Dear Judge Seibel,
1am a general ophthalmologist who has practiced in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. for the past 34 years and | am
aware of the charges that Dr. Ameet Goyal is facing. | am writing this letter to offer a more complete
picture of who Ameet Goyal is as a person. | have known Ameet for over two decades, both ina
professional and personal capacity.

Professionally, | have referred to Dr. Goyal well over two hundred patients over twenty-plus years for
complex oculoplastic or orbital disease and he has always made himself readily available to those
patients, regardless of insurance coverage or their ability to pay. He was someone | could count on to
help my patients who were in need of his specialized services.

Personally, my friendship with Ameet and his wife, Alka, have allowed me to witness his devotion to his
wife, family, and friends. Ameet and Alka always place family first and have always been very involved in
the lives of their three (now adult) children, Riya, Akash, and Shivani. Love, education, and humility have
been stressed throughout their development. Riya is now a physician in a radiology residency program,
Akash has a BA in Economics and MS in Computer Science, and Shivani is pursuing a PhD in Clinical
Science. All three have wonderful, well-rounded personalities and value the importance of family.
Ameet maintains long-term friendships with dozens of people whom | have met at parties and social
gatherings and all speak very highly of their fond relationship with Ameet. He has been a valued friend
to me over the years and | have been most appreciative of his kindness, thoughtfulness, generosity and
companionship.

In summary, | am hopeful that this letter will help provide a glimpse of Ameet’s many positive qualities
for your consideration.

One of the things that | admire about Ameet is his family values. His father was a
pediatrician and he and his wife Alka have raised three wonderful children. His children
are very smart, highly educated and very respectful. His daughter Riya is a doctor and
is doing residency in Radiology. | did attend a function over 10 years ago in Rye when
Ameet was awarded Father of the Year by his children.

Ameet is a great doctor. He has helped my wife with her eye condition. He has also
helped my daughter Anita as she is pursuing a career in ophthalmology.

| have exceedingly high regards for him as a father, a doctor, and a friend.

Sincerely,

Arun Goyal, MD

worked with him both in his office in Rye, NY and at the Helmsley Ambulatory Center in
