A top surgeon has been stripped of his medical credentials after a sexual attack on a patient was exposed.
The Medical Board of California revoked the license of Dr. Victor Lynn Perry from Tuesday after it emerged he had pressed a female client’s groin.
The woman had visited Perry’s office in Fresno in September 2021 for a follow up after neck surgery when she told him she was having sciatic nerve pain.
During the exam, he began pressing on the front of her private area with his hand “in small, half-circular motions,” and moving down “groin, inside her thigh,” the board’s documents show.

“It’s OK. You’re OK. I’m just adjusting,” Perry told her, according to the records. The patient was wearing a menstrual pad at the time, and Perry pulled it from her underwear before “he inserted his fingers” while wearing no gloves.
Afterwards, the patient abruptly ended the exam and wrote the receptionist a note on the way out that read, “Dr. Perry just totally violated me.”
In addition, Perry must pay $65,926 to cover the cost’s associated with the investigation and enforcement.
Under California’s Assembly Bill 1636, any doctor found to have committed sexual misconduct is permanently banned from regaining a revoked license in the state.
The revocation means Perry is no longer legally allowed to practice medicine in California.
