WARREN A doctor who now practices in Boardman has filed a civil suit against the Steward Medical Group claiming the practice was illegally paying him to make referrals to other physicians in its group.
The suit filed March 4 on behalf of Dr. Adil Jaffer of Canfield seeks relief to “fully, fairly and justly” compensate him for his losses from his firing from the practice. It calls for punitive and compensatory damages as well as front and back pay and any attorney fees incurred by the doctor.
Steward, based in Boston, Mass., is part of Steward Health Care, which owns Trumbull Regional Medical Center as well as other medical practices in the Mahoning Valley. An email was sent to Steward’s corporate office seeking comment about the lawsuit, but it was not answered.
