Ray P. Kamali MD, FACOG

I enjoyed this OBGYN until about a week ago. I initially came to this OBGYN for my pregnancy, because it’s close to home. But then I decided to switch to Mary Birch, and since Dr. Kamali doesn’t deliver there, I had to switch. Well, all my records were sent to my new OBGYN. I had my first appointment last week, and the doctor said, «Did your last doctor tell you that you had a low lying placenta at your 20 week ultrasound?» I said no, because it never had been mentioned, so I’m here now at 30 weeks finding this out. So My doctor had me go get a follow up ultrasound. She also mentioned that I should have been resting my pelvis, and not doing anything strenuous due to risk. After reading about a low lying placenta, it turns out it could separate and you could bleed out so the fact that they never mentioned that to me is irresponsible. Luckily, I’ve been super lazy this pregnancy and haven’t done much. But just needed to mention this to potential patients. Otherwise, I only met Dr. Kamali once, and he was cool. All my other appointments were with other staff.

Totally trust him if I need an ob again I’ll definitely go to him. hes a good doctor just i feel a like he should spend a little more time with patients, im sometimes hesitant to ask questions because i feel like hes in a hurry. But then again he is a doctor! Lol

I first visited Dr. Kamali’s office a couple years ago. I always saw my primary for my annual female physicals, but when I had test results that needed further monitoring, I was referred to Kamali’s. During that time, I always saw Rita. I love Rita for how at ease she made me feel. She answered all my questions and in the end, she was right and things were fine for me. Sure, i’d wait sometimes for a while to be seen, but their office has many patients and that is pretty common in every medical office I’ve ever been to. My interaction w/​the staff has always been positive and very friendly. Their offices are pretty, clean and I love that there is always ample free parking.
Recently it was decided I needed surgery. I met w/​Dr Kamali twice before my surgery. I was pretty nervous. What if I had cancer?! After speaking with Dr. Kamali at my pre-​op appointment, I felt completely at ease and was ready. The day of surgery, I arrived for my 5 am appt time. At 5 am, a nurse came to get me, and we began our necessary steps to prepare me for a 7:30 surgery time. Every single person I interacted with was kind, professional, concerned if I was warm enough, and even funny. It was a big deal to have surgery. But, I felt at ease again by all the little things that made the process feel like I was really cared for. Dr. Kamali came in to see me before surgery. I was good! He assured me all would go well and it did. I got discharged the next day. But during the time, consistently, I was taken care of by competent staff that were caring and explained what was happening, tended to my needs. Even the food was good in my opinion. I’ve seen other people’s incision areas and it makes sense, bruising is a possibility. I had no bruising, not one. My incision areas are healing nicely w/​out infection. I was uncomfortable and sore for a few days, but very understandable. I was pretty much up and walking around right away. Given my overall experience, I was surprisingly pleased at the care I received at Sharp. I see the commercials, the Sharp difference. it’s true. I had the best experience. I even got a card at home signed by the nurses that cared for me the first day the day after I got home. WOW. Thank you Dr. Kamali for creating an environment that is clean, friendly, and professional for your patients.

Dr. Kamali is great. I went through a few different obgyns before I stuck with him. He delivered my 1^st & only baby via c-​section, and he did such an amazing job, you can barely see the tiny scar! Very nice office, clean, and caring staff.

Don’t do it. I did and regret it!
I saw Dr Kamali FOR 2 PREGNANCIES. The first one was when he was at Paradise Valley Hospital. He saw me at almost every visit and he wasn’t available so he did NOT deliver my son. Second time around he had his own practice, so I followed him. I loved Kamali. I loved his nurses. I didn’t mind the front desk people. Sometimes I had to wait a quite awhile, but whatever. I went thru an entire pregnancy here and then when it came time to deliver he didn’t deliver at the hospital where I wanted to give birth (Sharp Mary Birch). He delivers at Sharp Chula Vista, but I heard really bad things about delivering there. I told him ahead of time I was going to Mary Birch and he advised against it. The morning I went into labor I called him and we talked for a while. He told me to come into Sharp Chula Vista and I told him I still didn’t know what I was going to do, but that I was staying home to labor for a while longer. I went to Mary Birch as I planned, and he called me 30 min after the baby was born and he had a complete emotional breakdown. He made me cry hours after giving birth, while I was still at Mary Birch. He said that was wrong of me to go elsewhere to deliver b/​c we had a relationship. He said he was waiting for me all morning at the hospital because I was supposed to meet him there. What??? You are a doctor, I am a patient. I have the right to make my own medical choices, regardless of your opinion!!! Kamali refused to sign my husbands leave paperwork indicating that I gave birth (so hubby could get paternity leave) because he said it was a matter of principle that we didn ‘t do what he he wanted so he wouldn’t help us. INSANITY. Then he was supposed to do the newborn check up and he told us (the day the baby was born) not to bother coming back to see him.
What a sad man. And what a sad way to welcome a baby into this world. You have been advised! Stay away!!!

I love this office! Dr. Kamali is very friendly, caring & kind! His PA Ritta is amazing. She’s always going that extra mile to show you she cares. I went to a different obgyn during my last two pregnancies and only wished I had come here like I did this year. They’re always fast, know you by name, genuinely care about you and are very helpful. I never had an experience like I did when having my baby girl at Sharp Chula Vista. I had my son there and I will never ever go any where else. Everyone is wonderful and Dr. Kamali was so great when I was delivering. I never seen any of my children coming out like he showed me with daughter it was an amazing experience and he really made me feel comfortable. Also he is very gentle, you don’t have to worry about getting hurt or anything. I highly recommend him and this office to everybody!

I lost my baby at 5 months pregnant in the care of Dr. Kamali and his office. Due to a misdiagnosis and being taken off progesterone supplementation without checking my levels. This doctor and office does not know how to handle complex pregnancies. Choosing this Obgyn was the biggest mistake I ever made. I paid the ultimate price and lost my baby who had a strong heartbeat my entire pregnancy and lived for over two hours. I will never trust my health or future pregnancies with this lack of proper care again.

Dr kamali and Dr Rita are both amazing! Caring and understanding doctors. Very satisfied with both.

I’m so grateful to have Dr. Kamali as my obgyn. After 2 nightmare-​ish episodes with my previous obgyn, Dr. Kamali was gracious enough to take me in at 36weeks. From our first appointment I felt comfortable with him, he was open to answering all my questions and listening to all of my concerns. He agreed to most of the wishes in my birth plan and was accommodating to my circumstances in which my baby decided she wanted to be 2 weeks late!
Dr. Kamali knew that a c-​section was the last thing I wanted. Unfortunately that’s what happened, but I was able to make peace with it because I knew he exhausted ALL the possibilities to avoid that from happening. We tried to induce a vaginal delivery over the course of 2.5 days in the hospital!
I feel that Dr. Kamali was an excellent surgeon in delivering my baby via c-​section while also removing an ovarian cyst and keeping my ovary in tact. My last obgyn said she would remove my ovary completely. Apparently that was not necessary. Thank God for Dr. Kamali! Also I feel great! 1 day after the surgery I was able to get up and walk around. 5 days later I pretty much feel like my old self besides minor pain here and there which is managed with pain medication. The scarring is minimal and from what I’m told it will shrink to be even smaller.
I couldn’t praise and recommend Dr. Kamali enough! He’s the best

It seems they have an issue with scheduling. Wait time exceeds 30 min in the waiting area and about 15 min in a room. It should not take this long. This will be my 3^rd child and I’ve never had to wait so long for a 5 – 10 min visit. What a shame. I’ve never been seen by the Dr. because it just takes too long to be seen by him. I understand that Dr.‘s are very busy but that does not mean it’s ok to over schedule and leave people waiting 45 min or an hour to be seen.

Yes Dr Kamali is fine as hell unfortunately he is so married, however he is very compassionate, gentle and caring! The staff is very professional and friendly! The new office is cute clean and nicely decorated! I’m sick of that new chick who lost my IUD tho as the saga continues …@&$$@@?$&@”

Dr Kamali has been my doctor since 2006. he is the BEST! Would not change him for the world! My husband and I really love him. He listens, answers all the questions. After having my son, I lost 3 pregnancies after that. Dr Kamali was amazing, he really helped us go thru all those difficult times. Simply the best.

if you’re thinking of visiting an OBGYN, you MUST GO TO DR. KAMALI. At a young age he already is a leader in the field of minimally invasive surgery. And what’s best, he is extremely personable and gentle mannered. On my first visit, I could rapidly tell that Dr. Kamali uniquely cares about his patients. He took all the time to listen to my every concern and thoroughly answered all my questions. I walked out of his office completely assured.
Dr. Kamali performed a robot assisted laparoscopic myomectomy on me to remove a 13 cm fibroid (uterine tumor). I’m telling you he’s a true professional! Dr. Kamali took the high road and made sure that the fibroid removal was a clean as possible. This was no easy task due to my petite frame to huge tumor ratio. Dr. Kamali visited me in the hospital post op to make sure everything was ok. I’m only 24 years old, and thanks to Dr. Kamali, I preserved my ability to have children!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or better person to take care of me. My family and I are forever grateful. I could go on and on raving about my wonderful experience with Dr. Kamali, but I think it’s pretty obvious: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
p. s. His staff is superbly lovely. His assistants provide the warmest and most affable service. :)

Dr. kamali used to be my gyno but I thought he moved offices. For some reason I stop seeing him, don’t remember why. But he is a really good doctor, nice, makes you feel comfortable and a little cutie.

I recently saw Dr. Kamali and had a wonderful experience. He is an amazing listener and gentle-​mannered. He answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable about robotic surgery. Overall, my experience with him and his office was positive. He has a great staff and great follow-​up. I think the doctor-​patient relationship is so important and he is one of those few doctors who takes his time with patients — even though he is busy. I highly recommend him.

As soon as the doctor enters the room he starts talking 100 words per minute! I always have a hard time understanding what he says. He has so many patients lined up that it’s ridiculous. You definitely feel like a number and not a person.

Dr. Kamali is a wonderful physician. If you want first class, personalized care, you don’t have to look any further. From the moment you enter his office, his staff greets you with a warm smile. After meeting Dr. Kamali, he made you feel like a friend, and not just a patient. My appointment was never rushed, and he answered all of my questions. I will recommend him to everyone that is seeking a wonderful and knowledgeable OBGYN.
