Celebrity talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz is planning to make use of his daytime medical talk show in order to talk to critics who attempted to get him fired from his faculty position at Columbia University.

Dr. Oz came under fire by doctors for his medical advice. He will respond to a group of fellow faculty members who accused him of making medical claims on his TV show that had no basis in science. A group of 10 physicians has sent an email to the vice chairman of Columbia's surgery department that Dr. Oz had shown 'an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain.'

Particularly, the doctors condemned Dr. Oz's 'baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops.' A Senate panel in June questioned Dr. Oz about his advocacy of weight loss products like green coffee bean extract. According to the British medical journal BJM, half of Oz's claims made on his show are not backed by scientific evidence.

It has been reported that still his job appears to be safe. Doug Levy, the chief communications officer at Columbia Medical Center said that the university is dedicated to the principle of academic freedom so it means that the faculty is motivated to take part in public discussion.

Sony Pictures Television, and Oprah Winfrey's, Harpo Productions produce the Dr. Oz Show. Dr. Oz is a cardiothoracic surgeon and this is not the first time that he is facing scrutiny. In 2014, he was under attack about health tips he had given out on his show. A statement has been released by Dr. Oz on Facebook last Friday and he said that he provide the public information that will aid them on their path to be their best selves.
