Dr. Jan Adams -- His Appearance on "Oprah"

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.

16. No big loss, if you have not noticed on the news, there is no shortage of black people still on earth. Did anyone care about the 10,000 people that got whacked in Danfur in the past two weeks? thought so.

17. just because ms west died does not necessarily make dr adams a quack. people can have complications from procedures all the time, the anesthesia can often be a big factor.

18. LA woman---God bless you! I feel the same way...Why do these people think they have the right to call others names, or even have the right to make ANY remarks about ones comments? State your opinion, and mind your own business!

19. Oprah Winfrey needs to realize that people stupidly associate anyone on her show as having better than average qualifications. She should have had her staff look into Jan Adams background. Instead, she had that quack on her show just because he was a black doctor. If she wasn't such a racist, and had decided to profile a qualified doctor irrespective of their color, perhaps Donda West would still be alive. But then again, seems Donda West just had to have herself a black plastic surgeon. And now she's dead because of it.

20. 5. It will be interesting to see how long it will take that black, fat ass, honkey hater Oprah to distance herself from that surgeon.

Honkey hater....have you watched the Oprah show lately? Who do you think is on the show, in the audience, and supporting Oprah...duh white people, white women in particular. I'm pretty sure that Oprah isn't a "honkey hater" as you described. And why would she distance herself from him, it hasn't been proven that he did anything wrong.

21. @R.

Are you really serious? So just because she picked a black doctor who had been on many t.v. show and well know she was in some way wrong for that? How can you be sure that Donda only picked him because he was black? So would it had made you feel better if the doctor was white, then people would be saying she should have gotten a black doctor. Your comment is just stupid. She has Rachel Ray on her show because she can cook, now if she goes out and gives someone E-coli poisioning would that in someway be Oprah fault. Just like she had this man on the show because he was a well known doctor.

22. I always suspected Oprah was nothing but a racist and then I heard her on that radio program making her racist comments against whites. Then of course we all know about some of her comments about whites made at the time she opened her segregated school for girls in Africa. Then who ends up molesting those girls, a black. Oprah has some nerve, she wouldn't be anything if it weren't for the white people that put her where she is. And her white fans have kept her there. She had Jan Adams on her panel because he's black. And now someone is dead because of that black quack.

23. I bet Kayne's mom picked that doctor because she saw him on Oprah and other TV shows. She was thinking "He is on so many TV shows, he must be legit and his background must have been checked by TV stations and production houses." Well, you can't assume anything these days. Some people just have ways to get around.

I bet Oprah had him on her show because he was on discovery channel and other shows. Oprah's people just assumed he was safe. It's like "Discovery Channel must have checked his background."

24. His remark about TV appearances shows how arrogant this rimshod doctor is. "countless tv appearances"? Umm, not quite.This guy had a show about plastic surgery, but he wasn't even a board certified plastic surgeon. Does anyone do their homework anymore? It took me two minutes to look this guy up on two websites to see that wouldn't let this quack near me with a scalpel. I can't wait for it to come to llight about his bogus credentials.. .And what does appearing on Oprah mean, she's a frigging talkshow host, how does that make her special? She is nothing but a woman, with no special qualifications to give half the advice she does, on a talkshow for folks with nothing better to do that stare at TV and think she is some kind of oracle.

25. wow it amazes me that white people come on these boards and use every opportunity they can to be racists!!! No wonder everryone hates you/!

26. People, people, people, try to remember that a woman died tragically. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, this T.V. Personality/ Doctor perfomed surgery on Donde West. Hours later she died. Let the autopsy tell its story, then if necessary take it to the courts.

If you have issues with Oprah, go to her website and whine about her there. Trust me. She can handle whatever you or anybody else can toss her way; however, I bet if you were ever in her presence, you'd be kissing her ass just like everybody else. It's human nature. I've seen high-ranking white racist Klansman kiss her "fat, black (and I'm proud of her ) ass" and praise her just like her dyed-in-the wool fans of every race. Give the Oprah angle a rest. She's a talk show host with a good reputation. That's all. Just a human. If you have a need for the services of someone who has appeared on television it's up to the consumer to check out the professional. Personally, if I had the money, I would have looked into the doctors who operated on the people on the "Extreme Makeover" show. Now they've got some real skills. And for you racist's they (the Extreme Makeover dotors) come in all races.

Enjoy the day!

27. Oppsie! Silly Oprah done dropped the ball again. She promotes writers who lie, are KKK members, allows liberals and socialists to spoil your mind with their crazy crap, lets her specially picked girls get abused and nearly raped in her new exclusive school and pushes Bad doctors and bad medicine. .. the stupidity list is endless.

29. NOT Board Certified?!! And being on Oprah certified this Plastic Surgeon to the public and the way it goes down is if he's on Oprahs tv show then he MUST be good...Shame on you Oprah you probably recommended and I'm assuming here but you probably recommended this doctor, exceuse me I meant QUACK to Mr. West's Mother since this quack was on your show and since Mrs. West was on your show too.
