An NYPD doctor with a history of harassment allegations is facing new claims from an officer who says he was bullied for taking sick leave — and now plans to sue the city for $5 million, The Post has learned.

Officer Edward Donzelli, 30, claims he was demeaned and intimidated by Dr. John Santucci during a series of increasingly hostile interactions after he went out on extended leave for a chronic stomach condition and a hip injury he sustained on the job, court documents show.

“I feel like he has been definitely harassing me and every time I went to him, it’s been nothing but a headache,” Donzelli said in a statement to The Post. “The fact is he needs to be terminated.”

Donzelli, a 7-year veteran, was suspended on July 6 for recording an alleged confrontational visit with Santucci, who has been accused in two previous pending lawsuits by NYPD cops with cancer of harassing them about taking sick leave and seeking accommodations at work.

“I want people to see what this doctor has done to not only myself, but this has been going on for a very long time,” Donzelli said. “When is enough, enough?”

The officer, who worked in the 121st Precinct in Staten Island, filed a notice of claim with the city Comptroller’s Office — the legal precursor to bringing a lawsuit against municipal agencies — on July 11, seeking $5 million in damages for the alleged wrongful treatment by the NYPD, which he claims retaliated against him for making complaints about Santucci to the Internal Affairs Bureau.

Donzelli first saw Santucci in November 2021 due to his ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and an injury to his right hip he sustained that July when an emotionally disturbed person kicked a door into him, requiring him to get surgery, according to his legal notice.

Instead of approving his request for sick leave, Santucci allegedly “forced him back to work immediately” and accused Donzelli of “faking his illnesses,” the notice states.

The cop filed a complaint with the IAB after his cousin, who worked in the Staten Island Medical Division, heard staffers allegedly talking about Donzelli’s case and making fun of his voice.

He claims he was then retaliated against by the NYPD with a series of dubious command disciplines, including “suddenly” being audited and falsely accused of failing to wear his body worn camera during an incident in July 2021, according to the court document.

Donzelli was slapped with a second command discipline for allegedly not providing the correct paperwork for his physical therapy and another accusing him of failing to take an in-person police report of an elderly woman while he was working the telephone switchboards, the notice states.

He was then issued departmental charges  on June 17, 2022 due to the three command disciplines that were given to him within a six-month period — before being transferred to the Health and Wellness Section of the NYPD on July 25, 2022, the court doc alleges.

A lieutenant in the 121st Precinct told Donzelli that this was because he was on the “naughty list,” while another employee told him it was because of his sick record — which made the bosses “very annoyed,” the notice claims.

Donzelli was out on leave until February following a Dec. 2, 2022, surgery to his hip, and claims that during that time, he was forced to resume visits with Santucci — who allegedly threatened to put him on forced disability retirement despite the fact he was expected to make a full recovery.

He repeatedly asked to be put on desk duty rather than be forced into early retirement, but Santucci would say no without any dialogue, the complaint alleges.

“These conversations occurred at each visit wherein [Donzelli] would ask for an accommodation and be told no without discussion,” the court doc states.

So Donzelli began recording the increasingly confrontational visits, including one where Santucci said his ulcerative colitis was “not cancer” and that if “you don’t want to work, convince me differently,” the notice alleges.

Donzelli complained again to the IAB about Santucci’s alleged intimidation.

Then on July 5, Donzelli met with Santucci and admitted to the doctor he was recording the encounter, according to the notice.

“Santucci proceeds to get up and rip the phone out of [Donzelli’s] hand,” the filing states, adding that Donzelli called 911 after because his hand was injured.

After this, Donzelli was told he was being suspended for 30 days on July 6 for recording the incident, the court document alleges.

“The NYPD Medical Division uses their doctors to systematically harass disabled officers out of employment when they could easily accommodate them until they retired,” Donzelli’s lawyer John Scola told The Post. 

“The NYPD, rather than end these illegal practices, punishes officers who attempt to record their doctor’s abuse.”

A spokesperson with the NYPD said “we will review the lawsuit if and when we are served.”

The city Law Department — who represents the city and Santucci in other lawsuits — declined to comment.
