About Dr. Michael K. Obeng:
Born into poverty in Kumasi, Ghana, Dr. Michael K. Obeng came to the U.S. at age 20 with the dream of becoming a doctor and less than $200 to his name. In the face of overwhelming odds, it took every ounce of his sheer will, perseverance, intelligence and natural talent to take him all the way to Harvard Medical School, where he completed his surgical training. In 2012, he founded MIKO Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, and is on staff at Cedars Sinai Hospital. His patients range from royalty and celebrities to the impoverished that he serves through R.E.S.T.O.R.E. Worldwide, which he founded in 2008 to provide vital surgeries to adults and children with disfiguring deformities that often cause them to be shunned by their societies or even attacked. Dr. Obeng is the recipient of the 2013 NAACP Humanitarian Award and one of the few surgeons in the world to have successfully reattached a limb. This month, Dr. Obeng and his team will travel to Gabon to perform surgeries that will forever transform the lives of many.

Wow, this is quite a fancy line up for a birthday party. I think it is really cool that he sees the need for less wealthy patients to benefit from plastic surgery.
