Dr. Kanwer R Dhami, MD

El peor dejo ir a mi hija con 32 semanas de embarazo sabiendo la enfermedad que tiene el peor equipo de trabajo en la oficina la manger no acepta que esta equivocada ! Uno como paciente puede rehusar algún tratamiento y hay otras formas de tener el resultado no puede tener uno una pregunta para el Doctor por que esa mujer no lo permite ! la manejadora según ella va y le pregunta pero no lo hace !! NO LES IMPORTA LA SALUD DE LAS PACIENTES

He has delivered all 4 of my kids . He makes you feel comfortable, cares about what you want . He has always answered all my questions and explains everything throughout the whole pregnancy.

Dear Patients, please read this before seeing Kanwer Dhami. My advice after delivering four children elsewhere with fantastic OBG’s is: Do not see Kanwer Dhami, M.D. After an hour and twenty minute wait, Dr. Dhami rushed me through an appt which lasted 8-minutes. He talked at me in a Narcissistic manner, his attitude was, “All you patients are an annoyance”. He exuded a base assumption we all have a 6th grade level of comprehension; as if his internal dialogue is: ‘Patients are stupid’. Despite an extreme situation, he did not order labs. Previously, a different doctor in the office had ordered an ultrasound which showed polyps. The recommendation was three month interval follow up ultrasounds. Dr. Dhami said his colleague was wrong, I didn’t need to have any follow-up done. I felt intimidated, I quietly went along with his reckless endangerment. His demeanor felt dismissive and frankly, I could feel his eyes rolling if I dared to inquire on my specific issue beyond what he chose to… tell me in his rushed, rote lecture. He dehumanized me, I felt I was to be robotic, shut up and say, “You’re the doctor, make decisions for me.” It may be true that he should retire, he’s burned out, resents insurance reimbursement rates, his patients, the “gig”. Then quit. After three months of non-stop bleeding, his phone staff told me he does not look at phone messages, does not speak to patients by phone, would not return a call, would not order lab work regardless of my bleeding and pain. Hemoglobin was never tested. I asked office please order the labs before my appointment as standard for review. I was told he wouldn’t. I wrote to him per receptionist instructions via MyChart. I referenced ultrasound recommendations, months of bleeding and labor-type pain. He never replied. His time is more precious than yours. I never waited less than an hour and I never had more than a rushed bullet-point type lecture on options for my situation. There was no conversing or dialogue. RED FLAG! Feeling fearful and being pressed by family, I scheduled with my GP who phoned Dhami to ask about getting labs ordered due to my months of uterine issues. Dr. Dhami called me a name and hung up on my ethical and concerned doctor. The call was recorded, fortunately. Through my GP, I was given an urgent appointment with a different OBGYN, a different practice. The new OBGYN was shocked that I had no bloodwork. His staff was so shocked they thought MyChart info was wrong. No, it was medical neglect, I was told. My new OBGYN was empathic, professional, passionate about his work, he listened, was extremely concerned about the neglect I'd experienced as my polyp situation could be cancer. Only a curettage biopsy procedure will reveal this critical unknown. Dr. Dhami had said an oblation was no guarantee to stop bleeding, it may not work at all, it may reduce bleeding or could stop periods for an unknown time frame. He said the guarantee is to have uterus removed. He told me to change insurance group within my plan if I want a guarantee to end the bleeding. He never mentioned curettage and he rushed the ‘high-speed appointment’ seemingly wanting to sell me on having robotic uterus removal by a different OBGYN in the practice. I never changed my group, never had consult for the uterine removal. When in pain and non-stop bleeding, I wrote in MyChart I felt I needed the guarantee option, not a “maybe works, maybe doesn’t” (Dhami’s words) procedure. I never saw him again as my gut instinct was to stay away! New OBG placed me on *STAT* surgery for the next day! Bloodwork, Covid test, full pap exam, hysteroscopy, curettage surgery in hospital the next day!! I wrote this for women as we must advocate for ourselves and share what we experience to support one another though we may never meet.

Do not go to this OB. He does not care about his patient or what they want in their birth goals. Especially if you want a VBAC, don’t go to him. He will tell you that you can try for a VBAC but if you don’t have the baby by 40 weeks then it’s gonna be a C section. He will make the VBAC sound more risky then a Csection and give you all these reasons why he recommends you to have a c section without giving you a choice. He literally told my husband and I that I can try for a VBAC but it’s gonna lead to a C section and that there’s no other options for me because I had a C section before. Dr. Dhami would compare me to statistic saying that if I don’t dilate within a certain period then I won’t have a VBAC. He was giving me a short time frame to dilate and said if I don’t dilate fast enough then Im not ever going to have a VBAC. I was so upset and felt so hopeless. How can a doctor give you a timeframe to dilate! My water just broke around 3 pm and I was at 3 cm and then it increased to… 4 cm around 5pm! Around 7:30 pm dr Dhami came to check up on me and said I was still at 4 cm and that’s when he set a time frame on me. He said if I don’t dilate more in a few hours by 10pm then I need to go in for a C section because a VBAC isn’t going to happen for me. He was so pushy and unprofessional each time he talked to me! I felt as if this doctor had already made up his decision to put me on his c section list following 10 other women! ( during the operation room, i overheard the the anesthesia mention to the nurse that they’ve already done 9 C section that day!) Dr Dhami made me felt as if I didn’t have a choice for my VBAC! The Ob, midwife and the nurses that were there taking care of me before his shift started were all so supportive in helping me throughout the day for a VBAC. They all felt that I was going to have a successful VBAC. They also said that I was a good candidate for a VBAC, but when their shift ended and there were new nurses, Dr. Dhami came to my room and that’s when everything went downhill. My husband and I tried asking the doctor to wait a little longer for me to see if I’ll dilate but Dr. Dhami would not wait. We tried asking for other options and advice from other Ob to see if there were some light in the tunnel for a VBAC but learned that he was the only in house OB on duty that night. There was the charge nurse that came to talked to me and gave me her opinions but it felt like she sided with him. The charge nurse told me if we decide not to have a c section then Dr. Dhami would order them to discontinue the Pitocin and let me wait in my room. When she said Dr. Dhami would cancel the Pitocin and just let me stay in the room, it made me felt hopeless as if they are not going to help me at all just because I wanted a VBAC so badly. My husband and I felt so helpless without no support for a VBAC we decided for the c section. I am happy that my baby is born healthy, however I am sad, mad and depress of how this doctor destroyed my experience. Save yourself from this doctor! He does not care for his patient. I am truly sadden from this experience and regret my decision. Now I have to pray and hope that I can be able to bear 2 more children for my future. Since my body has gone through 2 C sections, I know this puts an increase health risk to my body. So save yourself from this doctor.

Dr.Dhami has been my OB/GYN for about 15 years! He has cared for me during all my pregnancies. He is a great Doctor who truly cares about his patients and their needs and wants. If you are looking for a OB look no further he and his staff are amazing!

Dr needs to work on staying professional and looking at all the facts. Lookong up lab reports before recommending medications. Disappointed with this visit.

I really enjoy seeing this doctor. Very friendly and funny. And staff is just wonderful. Best OB-GYN Fresno/ Sanger.

The staff is not good at all
