In November of 2003, Dr. Jan Adams -- the plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West's mom before her death -- appeared on an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
According to his bio, Adams has made "countless appearances" on television -- including serving as host for a show on the Discovery Channel called "Plastic Surgery: Before and After."
He also co-hosted NBC's "The Other Half" with Dick Clark, Danny Bonaduce and Mario Lopez.

Matter of fact, when I went to the show, I saw more white people working there than blacks. Oprah did not have Dr. Jan Adams on her show just because he is a black plastic surgeon. And I don't believe Dr. Donda West decided to go with Dr. Adams just because he is a black plastic surgeon. But what if she did? I guess that would be her right. Your posting is disturbing because it suggests black doctors are less qualified: "Donda West just had to have herself a black plastic surgeon. And now she's dead because of it." Your statement suggests any client patronizing a black doctor will meet the same end. So now who's the racist?
It is indeed a tragedy. My deepest condolences go out to the entire West family. I especially feel sadness for Kanye because he was very close to his mom and nothing can replace that bond. I pray that Kanye will find peace within himself knowing his mother is in a better place, a peaceful place full of joy and never ending love. God Bless you all!
To Shelly who wrote that Oprah is racist (Nov 13th). Honestly, your comment is so Belligerent.Furthermore, Oprah is not where she is because of white people. IT'S BECAUSE SHE IS GIFTED, INTELLIGENT, BLACK, BEAUTIFUL AND LOVING IT!! You are giving yourself and your race too much credit! Matter of fact, you are the racist. The days of white power is over. Don't be jealous because one of the wealthiest people in the world is BLACK. BLACK IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE BEAUTIFUL!
Oprah did her "MY Favorite Things Show". Why not offer each member of the stuido audience a free plastic surgery by Dr. Jan Adams. Crazy thing is people would do it because he was good enough for the Oprah show.
If he was on opera he has to be good.....
See what happens when you recomend someone.
Your on a roll Opera!
Hows the book club going... a million lil lies.
no matter how professional u are doctor or athlete, something could go wrong and it's either bad luck at the wrong time or he made a bad decision when doing something.
He doent even seem sure of what he is saying...he looks shady...he's a quack!!!
Why didn't you check his credentials Oprah?
He is not Board Certified????
Oprah's guest selection has been slipping lately. She's been putting on a lot of fake, frauds and thieves....look at Karin Stefan -- she was on Oprah....why! Then Seinfeld's wife stole that book idea from another author. Oprah is losing her credibility.
#5: ARe you serious? Why on earth are you criticizing Oprah? This man has been on EVERY television show and network, including having his own show on the Discovery Channel. There's no way someone can PREDICT a surgeon or whomever will make a mistake. Mistakes happen unfortunately in every profession.
I wonder if they can find that blond lady again? I'd bet she had a rough time of it after probably having 25#s hacked off of her body by that chuckhead with a knife!! Another miss for Opie!!!
This Dr. hasn't been on Oprah in over 4 years. He's been on the Discovery Channel for a long time. He may be a legitamate Doctor who made a huge mistake.
i AM SO SORRY ABOUT KENYE WEST MOTHER THAT PASSED AWAY DUE TO COMPLICATIONS ON FACIAL SURJERY AN D SOMETHIENG ELSE.... THE DOCTOR HAD ASKED mRS. WEST FOR RELEASE OF HER DOCTOR AND IT WAS NOT DONE.. iDO NOT THINK THAT THIS DOCTOR SHUD HAVE HIS LICENSE TAKEN AWAY....
