Last year, I went to him for a kidney stone complication and he tells me I need surgery (that is…read morecorrect). During the visit, I ask about another issue and without even commenting on it he tells me he wants to focus on the stone and asks me to book another appointment to talk about my other question. I book a second visit right away for a few days later but something happens before the second visit. My stone moves and there is no longer a need for an immediate surgery (verified by two other urologists I saw before the second appointment with Duong). Other doctors tell me I can book a date at my leisure for an ultrasound procedure to blast the stone and fix the problem. Now let's get back to my second visit. I tell Duong about the stone moving and tell him I no longer have any pain. He chuckles and does not even bother to do another examination. He wants his surgery! Now listen to this, I say "I booked another appointment as you directed so, can we now talk about my other question?" He still refuses to answer and wants to talk about the date for surgery! Duong (I refuse to call him a doctor) needs to stop checking his bank account and go read the medical oath I hope he took one more time. There is a reason good doctors have skills AND strong ethics and Duong is not one of them. Good luck people! Fun Fact: One of the urologists I saw for a second opinion took 70 minutes to examine me (I still can't believe this!). He did a full physical, did a free ultrasound, went over options with me and even drew illustrations to explain what's going on! lol. It was amazing. He later wrote a two-page report all as part of a normal visit and that's what I call a caring doctor.

Kamali: Ready to push, had zero energy left and repeated attempts to coerce me into a moving up further into the plastic bag area even though I had denied multiple times with hand gestures. Watching video footage I have of the birth Kamali kept putting 2 fingers inside me and pressing down during each contraction, something known a perineal massage, which I did not consent to. Then, when my doula reminded them of my wish for delayed cord-clamping, and she said, "not with this baby, because of resuscitation"...which was completely absurd because she wasn't even out yet, why was she assuming there would need to be resuscitation? Also, I asked them not to continue with the fetal monitoring and they put a tiny metal screw into her head without my consent, something I didn't fully register until later, while I was in the NICU, asking about the small wound on the top of her head. I gathered all my internal energy, blocked out all the nonsense around me, and focused on the directing the energy of what "brought" her in downward, and pushed her out, and.. even though she was breathing and whaling loudly... she was not placed on me, like I had requested. I didn't know what to feel I looked over and was so upset but no longer had the energy to express it...frozen and dissociated from the shock of having my daughter separated from me. The biggest violation of all of them. They finally brought her over to me wrapped in a blanket and I sheltered her eyes from the harsh lights, She was absolutely beautiful. The expression on her face was that of a wise woman who'd just been through a war. I never wanted to let her go. She was mine and I wanted to protect her from this mob of people that were in the room. They took her from me after a couple of minutes to go to the NICU . Since she was small, 4 lbs. she wouldn't have normal body temperature regulation and needed the warmth of an incubator until she put on a pound. And then, they all left the room. Ironically, this was the moment my heart rate was that of a marathon runner. This was the moment I need to have a drug instantly pumped into my I.V. to bring my heart rate down. "Having the baby is the cure for preeclampsia, huh?"... What a load of crap that was. All they care about is getting baby out to avoid a lawsuit. Mother and baby are never looked at as a unit. Minimizing Trauma was never a factor they considered. After the birth I developed PTSD from not being allowed to sleep for so many days. I developed a sleeping disorder where I really only slept once every 3 days. The first part of the brain to go when you don't sleep is the language centers. For the first 3 years of my daughter's life I could barley speak in full sentences. My daughter is now 14 years old and I still have not fully recovered from the trauma. The speech centers of my brain have still not fully recovered and I suffer enormous anxiety and depression. I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours trying to heal from what was supposed to be an empowering experience. Do yourself a favor and study natural childbirth. If I had to do it again I would never have stepped foot in that hospital. I would have stayed at home, took my own blood pressure, and found a like-minded friend or doula to support me to have a free birth at home. All birth comes with risks and I'd be willing to take that 1 percent risk of death over the 99 % chance of trauma any day.

Here's a breakdown of my experience: Pros: 1) the office accepted my insurance Cons: 1) Despite this being a follow up visit to the ER and the need to get in to see the doctor immediately, I had to wait a month for my visit. 2) The doctor would only see me via telemedicine despite me telling her that I had severe abdominal pain. She refused to bring me in for an exam despite my request. I also requested an MRI which she stated that I didn't need. 3) At the end of the visit, the doctor told me that I was most likely suffering from gas, and would benefit from having a colonoscopy. 4) I requested a referral to another obgyn from this doctor because I was unsatisfied with her services. She blatantly ignored my concerns and complaints and also refused to refer me out stating that was not necessary. Bottom line: I would not recommend this doctor. She was dismissive and uninterested in performing a full examination. This doctor overlooked serious issues, and I found another provider who was able to identify my issues very quickly within the next month. I was in so much pain and this Dr. Kamali couldn't have cared less. By the time the next doctor was able to identify my issues, I needed to have a serious surgery. Do yourself a favor and find another doctor that listens to and treats your concerns in a timely fashion before it's too late.
