ABOUT FOUNDER & CEO
DR. MICHAEL K. OBENG
Restore was founded in 2008 by ghanian-american award-winning plastic surgeon, philantropist, humanitarian and global health strategist dr. Michael k. Obeng.He is currently in private practice in beverly hills, where he is the director of miko plastic surgery & miko surgery center. His inspiration comes from mentors and other similar organizations. Most significantly, he is inspired by his own humble beginnings in ghana, where he witnesses the devastating effects of disease, illness and the negative social consequences of deformities attributed to supernatural forces. Although there is an overwhelming need for reconstructive surgery in developing countries, these types of surgeries are not available because there are no personnel trained to provide the necessary services. The focus of dr. Michael k. Obeng and restore team is to respond to plight of these individuals. As part of our mission we seek to educate and train local physicians in techniques necessary to perpetuate our initial work to benefit more people in the years to come. |
