A Fresno doctor accused of inappropriately touching a patient’s vaginal area with his ungloved hand has had his license to practice medicine revoked, according to the Medical Board of California.
The board handed down a ruling on Friday to strip the license from Victor Lynn Perry, a surgeon with about two decades of experience who practiced in north Fresno, according to records. He was found to have engaged in sexual misconduct and unprofessional conduct.
Perry, 59, was also ordered to pay about $65,000 in expenses incurred by the board as it investigated the 2021 incident that led to a complaint of sexual assault, the records show. The license will be officially revoked on Feb. 24.
Attempts to reach Perry by email and phone were unsuccessful.
Sexual assault accusation for Dr. Victor Lynn Perry
A patient visited a north Fresno office to see Perry on Sept. 21, 2021, for a follow-up appointment after neck surgery, according to the board’s records. She told him she had sciatic nerve pain.
He told her to do some leg lifting movements before asking her to lie on an examination table, the records said.
His examination began by pushing on the front of her groin in a half circle motion, the board’s records say. As he got closer to her pubic region, he began to say, “It’s OK. You’re OK. I’m just adjusting,” the filing said.
She was wearing a menstrual pad at the time, which he pulled from her underwear before assaulting her with his ungloved fingers, the records say.
She ended the procedure before leaving the examination room, handing a receptionist a note that said, “Dr. Perry just totally violated me,” as she left, the records say.
Fresno police were not able to find Perry at any of the medical offices connected to him, the records show. They used cellphone data to track him to a Kerman location.
“(B)ased on Victor Lynn Perry’s pattern of life between the years of 2021 and 2024, it is this investigator’s belief that Victor Lynn Perry was being (elusive) and deceptive,” the records say, quoting a police report.
A second doctor who reviewed the examination reports also argued the examination amounted to sexual misconduct, the records show.
Assembly Bill 1636 from 2022 bars a doctor found to have committed sexual misconduct from being able to regain a lost license in California.
