David Kulber went into plastic and reconstructive surgery because it gave him a chance to create new surgeries. He has reconstructed severely deformed mounds of flesh into functioning hands on a young boy from Africa. He started using Google Glass to teach surgeons in Mozambique to do surgery, and he created a novel technique of using meniscus (“hearty fibrocartilage”) from a cadaver to use to create new joints in the wrist and the hand. His undergraduate degree from Cal Berkeley in European and Medical History gave him an excellent background for thinking globally to solve problems. A 3-month trip to India after college developed his mind set to help those who don’t have as much as we do. His charitable foundation is OhanaOne.one
