SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- A lawsuit against the Bon Secours Surgery Center at Harbour View ended in a confidential settlement Thursday. The plaintiff in the case had alleged negligence in the center's hiring and credentialing of a doctor, Javaid Perwaiz. Perwaiz was found guilty of 52 counts of health care fraud and related crimes in November 2020. The trial, which began Monday, was expected to end Friday. The plaintiff had been a patient of Perwaiz's in 2019 and alleged in court that he performed an unnecessary procedure on her. She testified that he gave her incomplete information about test results in order to convince her to go forward with the operation. Perwaiz had previously been censured by the state medical board and lost his license to practice. His record also included an incident in the 1980s in which he had a sexual relationship with a patient.
