Dr. Oz is being dragged to court by an L.A. Armenian meat market owner … claiming the former TV doc falsely tied her shop to massive healthcare fraud and the mafia in a viral video.

According to a new lawsuit — obtained by TMZ — Anna Ivanyan, who owns Tigranakert Meat Market in Van Nuys, says Oz trashed her reputation by featuring her business in a clip about alleged fraud in the Armenian community.

In late January … Oz posted a video across social media showing him riding in a car and posing outside businesses, claiming billions of dollars in healthcare fraud — including alleged hospice schemes — are tied to what he describes as the “Russian Armenian Mafia.”

Ivanyan says Oz filmed right outside her business while laying this out … making it look like her shop is part of a criminal operation — something she says is completely false.

The lawsuit claims the video reached millions of viewers … and Oz’s defamatory statements were also amplified by L.A. local news outlets, which added fuel to the fire.

As a result … Ivanyan claims the alleged defamatory statements spread rapidly — reaching her customers and the broader community. She says the video hurt her business and reputation … and she’s now seeking damages.

We reached out to reps for Oz … so far, no word back.
