California Medical Board Issues Accusation against Psychiatrist Kamal Bijanpour; Sentenced on Federal Firearms Charge
November 16, 2021
On March 19, 2021, Long Beach, California psychiatrist Kamal Bijanpour, had accusations brought against him by the Medical Board of California.
The Board’s document stated that following a psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Bijanpout was determined to be unable to safely practice medicine due a mental disorder. The evaluator concluded that Dr. Bijanpour must follow certain treatment recommendations in order to be safe to practice medicine.
Previously, in 2019, search warrants were executed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on his residences and vehicle. They seized firearm suppressors (silencers), assault weapons, and shotguns. Methamphetamines were also found on the premises, requiring seizure of the firearms. Bijanpour was charged with numerous federal drug and firearms possession charges. On March 2, 2021, he pleaded guilty to single charge of Causing Illegal Importation of Firearms, to which he was sentenced October 4, 2021 to 18 months in prison.

A 109162, Case No. 800-2020-064426, Medical Board of California, March 19, 2021 and Judgment & Probation/Commitment Order, USA v. Bijanpour, Case 2:19-cr-00610-MWF-1, U.S. District Court for Central District of California, October 4, 2021.
He "disappeared", did not provide copies of medical records, provided no medical emergency referrals, and yet! his office staff pretended to be "open".
Bijanpour left patients hanging with no notice of his circumstances. His office staff lied consistently for him, allowing Bijanpour to continue treating patients over the phone.
Some calls were odd in that Bijanpour was inconsistent with patient details, did not know patient information, and on two occasions, I was not clear I was even speaking with the doctor (was someone calling for him, pretending to be him?)
He had been in prison, mentally ill, in rehab and disappeared without any patient assistance.
In addition, it was IMPOSSIBLE to reach anyone in his office and more important, with his billing department.
Dr. Bijanpour or his office staff would schedule a call, not call and then bill for "no show".
