The Beverly Hills-based doctor who treated “Octomom” Nadya Suleman lost his bid Thursday to have his medical license reinstated. A judge ruled that the state medical board made the correct decision when it revoked the right of Dr. Michael Kamrava to practice in California. “Revocation is the proper remedy here,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfant said at the end of a hearing in which an attorney for Kamrava sought to have the board’s decision overturned. Kamrava had filed court papers requesting that he be placed on probation with specified terms and conditions rather than lose his license, a decision which an administrative law judge had originally made . The Medical Board of California ruled June 1 to revoke Kamrava’s license based on his treatment of Suleman and two other women. Kamrava admittedly implanted 12 embryos into Suleman prior to the pregnancy that produced her octuplets. She has a total of 14 children, all of whom were conceived as a result of Kamrava’s treatment. In court Thursday, Chalfant said Kamrava committed a “serious breach” of medical standards by failing to refer Suleman for a mental evaluation when she insisted on being implanted with a dozen embryos, even though she already had six children. Kamrava’s attorneys indicated they would appeal Chalfant’s ruling. Kamrava argued in his court papers that losing his medical license “would be detrimental to his ability to earn a living and be gainfully employed.” The revocation of his license took effect July 1.
