Celebrity doctor

[1] Examples of celebrity doctors include Dr. Drew, Dr. Miami, Dr. Oz, Dr. Ruth, Dr. Weil and Dr. Om Murti Anil.

A "celebrity doctor" is a medical professional noted for appearances on television, the internet and social media, books, and speaking engagements.

[1][3][4] Celebrity doctors are part of a "healthcare–media complex" that constantly seeks new attention of consumers in the 24-hour news cycle with catchy content about health in order to achieve and maintain high ratings.

[5][6][7] Consumers generally trust that the content they receive from celebrity doctors is valid due to their credentials and their fame.

[3][9][10][11] Sometimes the content is dangerous because people who are sick waste time following poor or irrelevant advice and their illness advances and becomes more difficult to manage.
