Norfolk Portsmouth Newport News, VA, October 9, 2026 — Dr. Javaid Perwaiz has been sentenced to 59 years in prison following his conviction for performing unnecessary surgeries on more than 1,000 women. The details of the conviction were outlined in a recent report.

The extensive legal action also involves Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, the facility where Dr. Perwaiz conducted these procedures. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed charges of healthcare fraud and conspiracy against the hospital.

In parallel to the charges against the medical center, a tentative agreement has reportedly been reached. This agreement aims to resolve the case involving Chesapeake Regional Medical Center without proceeding to a criminal trial. Specific terms of this agreement were not immediately available.

The conviction of Dr. Perwaiz stems from allegations that he performed surgeries that were not medically necessary on a large number of female patients.

The full extent of the impact on the affected patients was not detailed in the summary.

The charges against Chesapeake Regional Medical Center indicate that federal prosecutors are examining the hospital’s role and potential complicity in the alleged fraudulent activities and conspiracy. The development marks a significant legal proceeding in the healthcare sector, focusing on patient care standards and medical practices.

Further details regarding the specific nature of the unnecessary surgeries, the timeline of events, and the exact conditions of the tentative agreement with the hospital were not provided in the available summary information. The outcome of the resolution with the hospital is pending further proceedings, though the intent is to avoid a criminal trial.
