Dr. Rajeshkumar Miniyar, a Rome pediatrician with 35 years in medicine, has been formally cleared by the Georgia Composite Medical Board following a months-long investigation triggered by a wave of complaints filed in 2025.
Dr. Miniyar began medical school on July 1, 1990, at age 16½. He says that milestone, more than 13,000 days devoted to patient care, was nearly eclipsed by what he describes as a coordinated effort by former employees to destroy his reputation and shut down his practice.
“It took me 35 years of relentless work and sacrifice to build my life’s work,” Miniyar said. “And it took less than 30 minutes for some people to try to tear it down.”
In August 2025, the Georgia Composite Medical Board reportedly received more than 100 calls and formally logged 31 allegations against Dr. Miniyar after messages circulated online urging people to file complaints. The Board launched an extensive investigation, assigning a senior investigator who conducted on-site visits, reviewed records, and interviewed more than 40 individuals.
In January 2026, the Board issued a formal decision closing the case without disciplinary action. Attached is the dismissal
“Based on the review, the Georgia Composite Medical Board has voted to close this case without initiating disciplinary proceedings,” wrote Jason Jones, MPSA, Executive Director of the Board, in a letter to Dr. Miniyar.
“For me, that letter meant everything,” Miniyar said. “Truth prevailed.”
During the same period, a Temporary Protective Order (TPO) was filed against Dr. Miniyar in Floyd County Superior Court, including allegations he denies, such as breaking into a home. The TPO was later rejected, but Dr. Miniyar says the filing circulated widely online without mention of the outcome.
“People automatically assume guilt when they see a TPO,” he said. “Very few people ever see the rejection.”
Dr. Miniyar said, “Filing a TPO is not a benign act. It is an extremely dangerous and poisonous weapon. It destroys lives, shatters families, and can erase a lifetime of honest work built over decades. Even when allegations are false, the damage is already done, reputations are harmed, livelihoods are threatened, and emotional trauma is inflicted. The consequences are devastating, and TPOs should never be misused as tools of retaliation or harassment.”
Miniyar added, “Despite all of this, I consciously choose to walk the path of love rather than hate. Hatred only multiplies darkness and suffering, while love has the power to heal, transform, and restore humanity. I genuinely hope that those acting out of anger or malice find peace, clarity, and compassion in their hearts, that their hearts are filled with love instead of hate, and that healing replaces bitterness.”
Despite encouragement to pursue legal action, Dr. Miniyar says he has chosen to focus on his patients rather than retaliation
“I’d rather spend my time in the exam room taking care of children than in a courtroom fighting hate,” he said.
Dr. Miniyar remains fully licensed and continues to practice medicine in Georgia.
