Biography
Dr. Robin Kamal is recognized internationally for his treatment of hand and wrist conditions, including distal radius fractures and arthritis. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and is Medical Director for the Value Based Care Program for Stanford Health Care, and the Medical Director of the Orthopaedic Service Line. He completed his undergraduate and medical education at the University of Missouri Kansas City, and graduated with Alpha Omega Alpha and Cum Laude honors. He completed residency in Orthopaedic Surgery (Brown University), a fellowship in Orthopaedic Trauma (Brown University), and a fellowship in Hand and Upper Extremity, and Microvascular Surgery (Duke University). He completed a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and a Masters in Health Policy from Stanford University. His clinical research training includes studying wrist injuries (distal radius fractures/ligament tears) as a research fellow at the University of Barcelona as well as research fellowships at the National Institutes of Health and the University of Iowa.
Dr. Kamal has lectured internationally on hand/wrist conditions, along with quality and value in surgery in the following countries: Australia, Singapore, Japan, Costa Rica, England, Canada, Vietnam, Cambodia, Ecuador, and Spain. He also serves as a Boards Examiner for the The College of Surgeons of East & Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA).
Nationally, Dr. Kamal was Chair of the AAOS Clinical Practice Guidelines for Distal Radius Fractures and is the Co-Chair of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. He has previously Chaired the development of Quality Measures for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Society for surgery of the Hand. He currently serves as Co-Chair of the Core Quality Measures Collaborative for NQF/AHIP and a member of the Quality Metrics Committee for the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, and is an editor of the textbook Comprehensive Board Review in Orthopaedic Surgery. His research funding includes a grant from the Moore Foundation. He has served as a grant reviewer for the Department of Defense and is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Hand Surgery.
His main surgical interests are in trauma and reconstructive surgery of the upper limb (hand, wrist, and elbow) with an interest in wrist/distal radius fractures. He strives to provide his patients the highest quality care possible - a commitment he makes his foremost priority. His research and clinical practice are devoted to improving hand, wrist, and elbow function and he treats upper extremity nerve compression syndromes (carpal tunnel), instability/arthritis (finger, wrist, or elbow joint replacement), sports/athletic injuries and fracture care including nonunion/malunion, and minimally invasive arthroscopy.
At Stanford, Dr. Kamal directs the VOICES Health Policy Research Center for the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery where he collaborates with physicians across the country.
Dr. Kamal has >185 peer reviewed publications and his research program focuses on the following (http://med.stanford.edu/s-voices.html):
1) Radiographic and surgical techniques for distal radius fractures
2) Patient reported outcomes in surgery
3) Quality measurement in surgery
4) Implementation of value based healthcare

Very nice and explicit in my case.
Very good experience
Dr. Kamal also treat & respects my mom as if it was his mother!
Needs to explain the nature of injury. Need to plan for future solutions for pain in different areas of arm.
should have showed me my xrays and explained the problem to me
all good
All my experiences were good!
Definitely would choose Dr Kamal again for any injury in the future. Many compliments on the great surgery/ scar outcome Dr Kamal performed.
A ganglion on my left wrist came back again... I have pain and numbness sometimes. I expected a doctor used a hypodermic needle to drain the fluid from the cyst today as I requested when I made an appointment. But, the doctor only does "surgical treatments (remove the cyst)" and he didn't do anything for me. Even if I decided surgical treatment, I need to wait another month to schedule an appointments. I paid $50 for co-pay and waited more than one hour for NOTHING!!! I really feel waste my time and money. I had a totally wrong doctor.
Dr. Kamal was wonderful! My aching hand is already significantly improved thanks to his treatment.
