Why is Dr M’Benga so very overlooked in the ranks of Star Trek characters? He was an awesome character, pretty much the only other doctor you’ll see on the Enterprise. He was only in two episodes but in those episodes he made his mark. After all, Grace Lee Whitney was only in 8. He was played by Booker Bradshaw, who sadly died at 62.

Dr M’Benga was awesome, assured, competent, steady. And he was the ship’s resident Vulcan expert. He should have been seen more often.
