His victims included pregnant women, a rape victim and four girls under the age of 16
Krishna Singh, 72, was convicted of 54 charges, mainly of indecent and sexual assault, following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow which ended last month.
Lord Armstrong said that victim impact statements showed that Singh's actions had a "devastating impact" on his victims, some of whom now have a distrust of the medical profession while others have suffered depression, low self-esteem and anxiety. The 72-year-old had denied the charges against him. He claimed he had been using examination techniques learned while training in India.Laura Connor, head of Thompsons Solicitors abuse unit, represents 16 women abused by Singh and welcomed the sentence.
Procurator Fiscal for the High Court, Ruth McQuaid, said: "Krishna Singh's behaviour was an appalling betrayal of the trust which exists between patient and doctor. He used his position for his own depraved purposes over many years.
