Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- The California fertility doctor who implanted a dozen embryos in Nadya Suleman , resulting in the birth of eight babies , will lose his medical license on July 1 , state officials said . The California Medical Board ruled that Dr. Michael Kamrava committed `` gross negligence '' with `` repeated negligent acts , for an excessive number of embryo transfers '' into Suleman in 2008 . Suleman -- known in the media as `` Octomom '' -- was 33 when she gave birth to eight babies in January 2009 . She was a single woman who already had six young children conceived through in-vitro fertilization administered by Kamrava . Kamrava , who began treating Suleman in 1997 , said Suleman demanded all 12 embryos that were available for the procedure . The doctor `` did not think he could refuse to transfer less embryos than those to which N.S . would agree because he believe at the time that the ultimate decision should be largely driven by the patient 's wishes , '' the board wrote in the decision released Wednesday . `` While the evidence did not establish ( Kamrava ) as a maverick or deviant physician , oblivious to standards of care in IVF practices , it certainly demonstrated that he did not exercise sound judgment in the transfer of 12 embryos to patient N.S . ( Suleman ) , '' the board wrote . His lawyer argued during a hearing last October that Kamrava has been `` a respected , excellent physician and surgeon for 25 years , '' but that he `` ran into sort of a perfect storm with one of his patients . '' Kamrava was also found guilty of gross negligence in two other cases , including his treatment of a woman on her late 40s who became pregnant with quadruplets after he implanted seven embryos . Her pregnancy was `` rocked with complications , '' according to the medical board . Another case was a missed cancer diagnosis for a patient with an abnormal lab report . It was revealed during Kamrava 's revocation hearing last October that Suleman still has 29 frozen embryos in storage available for her use should she want more children . The complaint said the doctor should have referred Suleman to a mental health physician after she repeatedly returned to him for treatments shortly after each of her pregnancies . Kamrava , an obstetrician/gynecologist in Beverly Hills , California , was expelled from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in 2009 for what the fertility medical society called `` a pattern of behavior that violated the group 's standards . '' The society recommends implanting no more than two embryos for women under 35 and no more than five for women over 40 -- who have more trouble getting pregnant -- according to guidelines published on its website . Giving birth to extreme multiples comes with tremendous risks for the mother and the babies , including `` complications with pregnancy , prematurity and long-term consequences of that , '' Dr. Victor Fujimoto , an expert witness called by the medical board , testified . Suleman 's children -- six boys and two girls born nine weeks premature -- all went home after an extended stay in the hospital . While there has been no indication any problems have emerged , `` we still do n't know , '' Fujimoto said .
