Charlie Dwyer

TRENTON, NJ – Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and the Division of Consumer Affairs announced the revocation of the medical license of Dr. Jashvant Amin, an internist and hematologist based in Orange, NJ.

The revocation follows an investigation into allegations that in 1985, Dr. Amin had a sexual relationship with a cognitively impaired patient, resulting in a child born in 1986.

The investigation was initiated by a complaint from the patient’s adult son.


DNA tests confirmed the complainant as Dr. Amin’s biological son.

The Board cited multiple violations, including negligence and malpractice. Under the terms of the Consent Order, Dr. Amin is permanently barred from practicing medicine in New Jersey.
