About this listen

He was a beloved surgeon in the Virginia Beach community for close to 40 years. Dr. Javaid Perwaiz came to the US from Pakistan and settled into the Hampton Roads Community. He made a name for himself as a sought after solo OBGYN, delivering thousands of babies and performing standard OBGYN care. But around 2019, his beloved practice would come tumbling down as FBI agents raided his office, seizing patient records, and even diagnostic equipment. This all started because a nurse tipped off the FBII when she noticed a high number of surgeries and insurance claims that weren't adding up. They discovered that Perwaiz performed unnecessary surgeries on women like hysterectomies, sterilizations, removing ovaries, and C-sections for patients who didn't need them. He betrayed their trust and their bodies. In this bonus content from the Crime Capsule Podcast veteran reporter Margaret Kavanagh shares her experience and insight covering this case.
