Dr. Jan Adams operates out of the Brentwood Surgery Center -- which sits above a Kinko's and Quiznos in Brentwood, Calif.
BSC would not confirm that Donda West had her surgery there, however, TMZ spoke with an employee who told us that Dr. Adams was not in today (surprise) and she didn't know when he'd be back. Wait -- there's something wrong with the neon sign!
Dr. Jan Adams told TMZ Monday night he had done nothing wrong and that Kanye West's mother likely succumbed to a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or from massive vomiting after returning home from surgery.
You all are doing a great job covering this this story. This story has many important facets well beyond the famous West name.

17. Harvey, you previously had a story about Dr. West's former surgeon Dr. Aboolian, who you said refused to operate on her unless she got the okay from a particular internist he advised her to see.
Is that story made up ?
How did you get that story ?
Are you implying Dr. Aboolian or the internist breached doctor/patient confidentiality ?

This is important story, well beyond the famous West name. This is story about a doctor who seems to have a series of DUIs and malpratice suits and the death of one of his famous patients shortly after surgery.
Everyone faces the difficult choices when it comes to surgery for themselves and their loved ones - and this case highlights many of problems... This why this story is so important and compelling to your readers and the nation in general.
I truely believe that TMZ is pioneering a new form of journalism, rapid realtime reporting. Please stay on top of this story and all those involved. Keep bringing the facts out into the open - that is what news reporting is all about.
26. While I enjoy this site, it is seriously thriving on OVERKILL. The Dr. Jan stories are way too much seriously. A woman died, someone's mother. Show some GD respect and tell all these losers coming out of the woodwork to crawl back in. All of a sudden they want to voice their drama and botched boob jobs?? One day someone is probably going to sue your behind for stalking. And how much $$ are you getting paid for Brit Brit videos???
27. You guys need to get off him!!!!! He was a good Doctor I had several procedures and he always went above and beyond his duties to make me happy Im sure a lot of you do thing out side of work ur not to proud of but it has nothing to do with ur job leave his personal life out of it what he does ones hes out of the office is his b-naz thing happen it just happen to be someone famous if not we would of never heard anything about it and we would be talking and reading about Britney
29. I am a physician who worked in south central Los Angeles for 6 years. I had numerous encounters with Dr. Adams, none of them pleasant. In one particular instance, he called me more "four letter" names than I had ever been called in my life time. He is arrogant, self-absorbed, and just plain mean; he truly has issues. It appears that Dr. Adams is finally reaping what he has sown for so many years. He is truly a fool.
