For years, patients trusted Dr. Victor Lynn Perry with their medical care. However, California regulators have found that Dr. Perry violated that trust by engaging in sexual misconduct during a medical examination—conduct so serious that it resulted in the loss of his medical license.
Survivors deserve answers. They deserve justice. They don’t have to face the journey alone. Andreozzi + Foote represents survivors of doctor sexual abuse nationwide, focusing on pursuing accountability not only from the individual wrongdoers but also the institutions that enabled abuse to occur and continue.
“When a physician sexually abuses a patient, it is not just a personal betrayal — it is a systemic failure. These cases demand immediate attention because every missed warning puts more people at risk. Survivors deserve to know the truth about what happened, who failed to act, and that they still have the power to come forward.

Who Is Dr. Victor Perry?
Dr. Victor Lynn Perry is a surgeon with approximately two decades of medical experience. He most recently practiced in Fresno, but records show he worked in multiple states and cities throughout his career. Perry’s medical license was revoked, effective February 24, 2026, and thus, he will no longer be authorized to practice medicine in California.
Where Did Dr. Perry Practice?
Records indicate Dr. Perry worked or held licenses in several states, including California and Arizona, and appears to have been licensed at various times in Ohio, North Carolina, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, including in the following cities:
- Fresno
- San Francisco
- Phoenix
- Chapel Hill
- Asheville
- Baltimore
Survivors may come from any of these regions and may not yet realize that what happened to them qualifies as abuse. If you suspect you or a loved one has been abused by Dr. Perry, Andreozzi + Foote can help. Our trauma-informed attorneys have deep experience seeking justice for survivors of doctor sexual abuse.

Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Dr. Perry
The investigation into Dr. Perry began after a patient reported sexual assault during a follow-up visit related to neck surgery in September 2021. The Medical Board of California has since conducted a probe and made the following findings:
- The patient reported sciatic nerve pain.
- Perry instructed her to perform basic movements.
- He then asked her to lie on an examination table.
- During the exam, he touched her groin and pubic area.
- He allegedly inserted his ungloved fingers into her vagina.
- The exam had no legitimate medical purpose.
According to the board’s records, the patient immediately ended the exam and wrote a note to the office staff stating that Dr. Perry had assaulted her. Later that day, Dr. Perry reportedly contacted the patient and apologized for making her uncomfortable. When told directly that his actions constituted sexual assault, he allegedly did not deny the allegation.
Medical Board Findings & License Revocation
After reviewing the evidence, the Medical Board of California found that Dr. Perry engaged in:
- Sexual misconduct
- Unprofessional conduct
- Gross violations of patient boundaries
The board revoked his California medical license, effective February 24, 2026, and ordered him to pay approximately $65,000 in investigation costs. Meanwhile, his Arizona medical license was suspended in 2024 due to the California investigation.
Under California law, physicians found to have committed sexual misconduct are barred from regaining a medical license. Two victims have reportedly been identified so far.
Criminal Investigation & Evasion Concerns
In addition to the administrative disciplinary procedures, a criminal investigation remains pending. According to reports, law enforcement records indicate that Dr. Perry:
- Failed to maintain a valid address
- Used temporary housing and hotels
- Avoided contact with investigators
- Provided misleading or outdated information
Investigators described his behavior as “elusive and deceptive.” Authorities ultimately obtained DNA via a search warrant after police located him using cell phone data.
A Pattern Of Missed Warnings
While the Medical Board ultimately acted, serious concerns remain about how long it took for intervention to occur. Sexual abuse by a medical professional rarely happens in isolation. Survivors often experience the following:
- Fear of not being believed
- Confusion about whether the conduct was medically appropriate
- Intimidation by authority figures
- Delays in reporting due to trauma
When institutions fail to act on early warning signs, abuse can continue, sometimes across multiple states and health care systems.
Your Legal Rights As A Survivor
Even if criminal cases are pending or prosecutors refuse to bring charges, sexual abuse survivors may be entitled to file a civil lawsuit against the following parties:
- The physician
- Medical practices or clinics
- Hospitals or health care system
- Licensing boards or oversight bodies
- Employers who failed to act on complaints
With a civil lawsuit, survivors can achieve the following:
- Expose institutional failures
- Establish accountability
- Secure financial compensation
- Provide validation and closure
Under California law, adult victims generally have 10 years from the date of the assault or three years from the date they discovered harm related to the assault to file a lawsuit.
Were You Harmed By Dr. Perry? Speak With A Lawyer Confidentially
If you have experienced inappropriate touching, medically unnecessary genital exams, or any encounter with Dr. Victor Lynn Perry that felt confusing, invasive, or wrong, you are not alone and may have legal options.
Many survivors do not recognize sexual abuse right away. Others stay silent out of fear, shame, and uncertainty about whether what happened “counts.” Those reactions are common, and they do not diminish the harm you experienced.
Even if the abuse occurred years ago, you may still be entitled to seek accountability—not only from Dr. Perry, but from the medical practices, hospitals, or institutions that failed to protect patients.
