Elevated by a steady stream of appearances on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (Syndicated 1986-2011), Dr. Mehmet Oz jumped from being a skilled heart surgeon to becoming one of the world's best known and lauded doctors. A pioneer in his approach to well-being, which utilized both Western and alternative therapies, Oz believed "global medicine" to be the most comprehensive method in aligning body, mind and spirit. To spread the word, Oz co-authored a series of self-help books, including: YOU: The Owner's Manuel, YOU: The Smart Patient, and YOU: Staying Young, all New York Times best-sellers, as was his own award-winning Healing from the Heart. With the powerful blessing of Oprah Winfrey and with a list of honors and awards as long as his patient list, Oz launched his own program "The Dr. Oz Show," (syndicated, 2009- ), which televised his mission to place individuals on their own enlightened road to wellness.
