NRI PULSE STAFF REPORT
Atlanta, GA, February 17, 2025– Three Indian-American medical professionals have filed a civil rights lawsuit against Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) and three other medical groups, alleging racial discrimination and retaliation in their workplaces.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on January 28, names NGHS, Northside Hospital, Georgia Urology, and Northeast Georgia Physicians Group as defendants. The plaintiffs—Dr. Kapil Pareek, Dr. Jyoti Manekar, and Dr. Anisha Patel—claim that their professional practices were deliberately undermined, and they were subjected to baseless accusations regarding their fitness for duty. They further allege that they faced retaliation after reporting discriminatory treatment based on their Indian heritage.
According to court records, the issues allegedly persisted even after their practices were transferred from NGHS to Northside Hospital and Georgia Urology.
NGHS, in response to the lawsuit, issued a statement through its attorney, Andria Lure Ryan. “Given this is active litigation, we are not in a position to comment and look forward to contesting the claims in court,” Ryan stated. “We value the diversity of our employees and stand behind NGHS policies that the organization complies with applicable Federal and State civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, or any other basis protected by law.”
