Were Your a Patient of Arpit Saxena at Michigan State University?

Former Patients May Have Legal Options Following Sexual Assault Allegations

If you were treated by former Michigan State University resident physician Dr. Arpit Saxena and experienced sexual abuse or inappropriate sexual conduct during a medical appointment, you may have legal options to pursue justice.

Saxena has been charged with sexually assaulting two female patients during medical appointments at an MSU health care facility. Authorities are now asking anyone who was treated by Saxena between July 1, 2024, and April 7, 2025, to come forward if they experienced conduct that made them feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or concerned. MSU Health Care has also said it is contacting patients treated by Saxena during his employment.
