About Dr. Sanjeev Kumar & The Alleged Sexual Abuse
Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, a Memphis-based gynecologist, built his career on the trust of his patients, only to betray that trust in the most unforgivable ways. Federal prosecutors now call him a “predator in a white coat,” accusing him of using his position as a doctor to sexually abuse patients, perform medically unnecessary procedures, and commit fraud against government healthcare programs.
According to the indictment, between 2019 and 2024, Kumar lured multiple women across state lines under the guise of medical care, only to subject them to invasive and inappropriate procedures without medical justification. Patients trusted him to provide care, but instead, they endured trauma, deception, and abuse disguised as treatment.
Beyond the physical and psychological harm inflicted on his victims, Kumar also engaged in medical fraud and dangerous malpractice. Prosecutors allege that he reused unsanitary medical devices meant for single use, putting patients at risk for infections and complications. Meanwhile, he billed Medicare and Medicaid for brand-new equipment, profiting off the very people he harmed.
Authorities have reason to believe that more victims may still be out there. The FBI has urged any former patients who suspect they were mistreated by Dr. Kumar to come forward. If you were one of them, know this, you are not alone.
Are You Eligible to File a Lawsuit Against Dr. Kumar?
If you were a patient of Dr. Sanjeev Kumar and believe you were subjected to unnecessary procedures, medical misconduct, or sexual abuse, you may have grounds to take legal action. Survivors of medical abuse have the right to seek accountability, not only against the doctor who harmed them but also against the medical institutions that failed to protect them.
Lawsuits may be filed by:
- Patients who underwent unnecessary gynecological procedures performed by Dr. Kumar
- Individuals who were subjected to inappropriate or abusive medical exams
- Victims who were pressured or manipulated into undergoing treatment that caused harm
- Patients who suffered infections or complications due to the reuse of medical devices
- Families of survivors who were deeply impacted by the abuse and medical fraud
Medical facilities and healthcare organizations have a duty to protect patients. If Kumar’s clinic or any affiliated medical institution ignored warning signs, failed to report complaints, or allowed him to continue practicing despite concerns, they may also be held accountable.
