Dr. Jan Adams -- A Man of Influence

Posted Jun 26th 2008 3:40PM by TMZ Staff

Karma is making a comeback!

Dr. Jan Adams -- real name January Adams -- the doctor who operated on Kanye West's mom just before she died, was arrested around 2:45 AM this morning on suspicion of drunk driving.

According to the CHP, officers saw Adams' 2004 gray Jag XJ8 driving the wrong way up an off ramp on the 680 freeway just outside Benicia, Calif., just about a half hour from Oakland. After failing a field sobriety test, he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, driving the wrong way and driving on a suspended license.

This is Adams' third DUI arrest since 2003.

He's currently in the Solano County Jail awaiting bail.

What people don't realize is that any quack can get on TV and on Oprah including Jan Adams, Michael Evan Sachs and Brad Jacobs -- all addicts who have finally lost their medical licences. Bad doctors often hire publicists to get them on TV and to get fame b/c that is really the only way for them to get patients.

My face got deformed by Richard Ellenbogen of the TV show Dr. 90210 who was also featured on Oprah and on CNN. Please people beware of TV doctors!!
