Comments
I like Dr. Oz but he doesn't know everything and sometimes that's a dangerous thing to the public when they are so trusting of doctors on TV. He has often given misleading or false information regarding polycystic ovarian disease.
I am a big fan of Dr. Oz because he is so open to preventive measures and new possibilities. He embraces yoga, meditation and other techniques that boost the body's natural healing. So many doctors think that if they can't treat it with drugs or surgery, it is not their concern. He has a great way of explaining health issues without talking down to the viewers. Most of all, you can tell that he is passionate about helping people.
Sounds like a good one.
I love Dr. Oz. He is so sincere and wants to help people be healthy. I watched his show and read his books and I am going to begin his diet. I know it works and it will be a challenge for me but after so many programs I feel he is a Doctor of the heart not only surgically but with feelings in the heart and soul. He is a good man and I just adore what he is doing for us over weight people. Sincerely your fan. Rose Marie
