Who is Dr. Mehmet Oz

Dr. Oz, also known as Mehmet Cengiz, is a Turkish-American television personality, author, and Republican political contender.

Oprah Winfrey was the first guest on Dr. Oz’s Discovery Channel series Second Opinion with Dr. Oz in 2003, and Oz was a frequent guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, appearing on more than sixty occasions.

Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and Sony Pictures Television debuted The Dr. Oz Show, a daily television program about medical matters and health, in 2009.

He is an emeritus professor of cardiothoracic surgery at Columbia University.

Physicians, government officials, and media have chastised him for advocating unproven items and non-scientific advice, including the British Medical Journal, Popular Science, and The New Yorker.

In 2014, a study published in the British Medical Journal found that more than half of the advice on medical talk shows like The Dr. Oz Show was either unsupported by evidence or contradicted medical studies.

He was named to the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition by Donald Trump in 2018.

Oz announced on November 30, 2021, that he would run as a Republican in the 2022 U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania to replace retiring Republican Senator Pat Toomey.
