Dr. Michael Kamrava demonstrated “a pattern of behavior that violated the group’s standards,” American Society for Reproductive Medicine spokesman Sean Tipton said.

An employee at Kamrava’s Beverly Hills, California, clinic — the West Coast IVF Clinic — said the doctor would not be commenting on the expulsion.

The expulsion, which was imposed last month and just announced, does not affect Kamrava’s ability to practice, because affiliation with the professional association is voluntary.

Suleman was 33 years old in January 2009 when she gave birth to eight babies. She was a single woman who already had six young children conceived through in-vitro fertilization.
