Ray Pourang Kamali, Md's Online Review Report Card

I am on disability after having a c-section with this Dr. from 2008. His name in 2008 used to be Dr. Pourang Kamail now he changed his name to Dr. Ray Pourang Kamali. Two thumbs down 👎 👎 for the worldly Catholic he is. God is his judge and his name is Jesus Christ. Hope he gets caught Anywhere and from anyone always. -Penina Malia Desmond

STAY FAR AWAY !! If you are dealing with pregnancy and looking for care do not come here ! They are unprofessional, Kamali isn't a problem but their front desk is. They are rude and always want to pick a fight. The most rudest staff I have ever dealt with in my life

I HAD to write this review! Initially, I was hesitant going to Dr Kamali due to the past reviews on here. Upon arrival, the office is very clean and welcoming. The front office staff were very kind. (I was late due to traffic). Next came the taking my vitals. They do this out in the open of the back office, which was not a problem for me. I was able to see how the back office works together as a team. I could see Dr. Kamali when he came out of a room. He said hello. :) Then she took me into a room and my wait was not long at all. He came into the room and it was very comfortable talking with him. Even in just my gown! Ha. Upon looking through my chart, he found an old exam that the diagnosis was missed by my primary. Note to ladies... see a specialist for your lady parts. Do not go through your primary. Dr. Kamali spent lot of time talking with me about my history and what my needs were for this visit. We decided together what would be the best plan of action. So hands-down, this guy gets all the stars that yelp can give, but trust me when I say if there were more, he would have all of them in my opinion!!!

Muy buen doctor! Tuve mi histerectomia con el y hizo el proceso muy fácil, me hizo sentir segura, Estoy muy contenta! Definitivamente seguiré mi cuidado con el!

Very good experience having him as my obgyn during pregnancy. He is a very nice and caring doctor.

I heard great things about Ray P Kamali so I took my mother to him to have her cyst removed. We meet Ray Kamali, he seemed great. My mother was in extraordinary pain. He recommended that she stays away from opioids. Which I agree - opioids are addicting but my mother was in pain. I informed him that my mother has no history of abusing drugs or alcohol. Long story short my mother did the procedure with KAMALI at Sharp Chula Vista hospital. The hospital treatment was a whole different story. My mother was mistreated at the hospital multiple times and I got proof. Anyways After the procedure he informed me that it went great with no complications. When I saw my mother after 15 mins she informed me that she woke up during procedure. He failed to inform me that my mother woke up twice during anesthesia. He also failed to formally apologize to my mother and after the procedure his whole attitude shifted. Then I spoke to him and he told me to educate my mother to stay away from opioids (oxycodone) I informed him my mother is in pain and she needs it and he said it can cause her harm and can be addicted to them. I then told him that her urine, blood or a website that providers has access to shows that my mother has never abused alcohol or drugs. She's clean as whistle. 1. He was willing to discharge my mother even though she wasn't able to keep liquid food down. 2. He did not inform me that my mother needs to pass gas. (aware of it cause I'm in medical field) 3. Her IV was off multiple times (they didn't even care about dehydration) 4. He did not prescribe my mother her TSH medication. Hospital was aware that she should've been prescribed TSH medication. 5. When complaining to Dr.Kamali about how the nurses are mistreating my mother he got irritated and told me has no control of the nurses and I need to let the manger know. I said I did but I just wanted to inform you and he completely lost it. He stated "if your mother was treated horribly by the nurses then she can go home so she doesn't have to go through this experience." Then I said "if I was you I would refrain from saying that because we as patients and as humans come to the hospital to be properly diagnosed, taken care of and treated properly. Please Dr.Kamali don't speak to us that way" He then became sarcastic and stated "I have patients that I discharged within two hours after doing hysterectomy. with my 17 year experience I guess you know more than I do. I will prescribe all the narcotics that you guys want and she can stay in the hospital for 17 days" - He and the nurses failed to inform my mother that that oxycodone is as needed. They told us it's every 3 hours and there were gaps. I promise you my mother went through pain and they held back on giving her medication. I filed a complaint so then they switched their narrative and said that oxycodone is as needed but it was not put that way on the board. I promise you they told me it's every 3 hours - they failed to give it every 3 hours and switched the whole narrative about it being as needed. ( informing patients about medication and how it's suppose to be given is important. Kamali and nurses failed to inform us properly) 6. He FAILED to check my mothers incisions. He had a RN check her incisions. I was in shock and speechless. A RN has no experience how the MD does. A MD should do their job and not have a 4 year experience nurse do that for them. No disrespect to nurses. I feel more comfortable if a provider checks not a RN. But then again that way he makes more money and so does the hospital. He just goes on to the next patient. 7. The following day he just came to visit my mother and he did not say good morning or anything. My mother asked him if she will be discharged and he stated "ask your daughter if it's okay to be discharged" and he walked away. Even the nurse that was there was in shock. Provider failed to take care of my mother. He failed multiple times. I had to advocate for my mother multiple times. If I wasn't advocating then I don't know what would've happened to my mother. Opioids are there for people that actually need the medication. Especially after a procedure. If not then I wonder why DEA still has opioids approved to be prescribed. I brought my mother to him to be taken care of and I ended up traumatizing her. Kamali and Sharp Chula Vista really mistreated us. I have proof. I despise calling him a provider, although I am grateful he took out the cyst but he needs to work on his communication, patient care, and needs to lose his pride. He needs to work on more things.

I initially scheduled for a procedure consultation, in which I had an appointment with the NP who told me she couldn't provide the consult, so I would have to reschedule for Dr Kamali...frustrating considering that was the entire reason I was there. In the same appointment, the NP misdiagnosed me with an entire hormonal disorder based on a single conversation where I was continuously cut off on what I was trying to explain to her. When I asked for further diagnostic information, they told me it was pointless; how can you diagnose someone with a condition and not get the labs or do the research to prove it? Then, at my consult appointment with Dr Kamali, I waited over 1h 30m to finally see the doctor, and was given respect from him personally, but didn't feel as though my preferences and feelings being expressed were the highest priority, or like I was an equal part of my own health decisions. I think I will not continue care through this office, just too many frustrating experiences.

Probably one of the worst places to go for an obgyn , steer clear from the nurse practitioner if you want to avoid being subjected to unnecessarily rough examinations. Also anytime she prescribed something she would call me after and say stop taking what I prescribed... it causes blood clots or liver damage or this or that ... this happened three times... Like why prescribe something when your not sure ?? I find that ridiculous! The front desk staff is delightful and kind ... I love the front staff but Cynthia the nurse practitioner no... she also wanted to do a biopsy with no pain relief. That is just barbaric... This nurse practitioner is not well educated on the pain that women are subjected to. Go someplace else .. I never seen Dr. Kamali himself not sure how he is but Cynthia is a no!

I had the best experience with Dr.Kamali he is very professional and a very caring doctor I have recommended him to several of family and friends.The office is super clean and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable at all times. Always there when I needed him. I want to say thank you for the great experience and thanks to Cynthia as well for the big support. I really appreciate you'll

Office is clean and front office staff is fine. However nurse practitioners lack in knowledge. I went in for an IUD. I scheduled a consultation as recommended to understand my options. After that I scheduled an appointment for IUD insertion only to find out I got misinformation from the initial nurse practitioner and they would not insert the IUD. Total waste of time. I'm extremely disappointed with this office as several people have recommended this office. Also I never even met the doctor so maybe he is amazing but I'll never get the opportunity. I'll be looking for a new OBGYN.
