Every celebrity has a reason for becoming famous. Some rise to stardom via a particular extraordinary talent, such as singing or balloon modelling.

Others use the skills and knowledge that they have been trained in to create a high-profile for themselves - taking their abilities to the next level.
Today we take a look at seven celebrity doctors. These are the famous faces who are primarily medical professionals, but went on to achieve celebrity status due to their hard work and expert knowledge.
Dr Alex was a contestant on Love Island last year, but didn’t have much luck when it came to finding love in the villa.
A post shared by Dr Alex (@dralexgeorge) on Jun 10, 2019 at 10:33am PDT
We don’t think this bothered him too much, though, since leaving he has found love in his new relationship with Amelia Bath. The pair look very happy together in their Insta snaps.
Dr Alex, who was famously sunburnt for the duration of the 8 week season, is an A&E doctor. Since his rise to fame from his stint on the show he has landed himself a TV gig as health editor on Good Morning Britain, stepping in for Dr Hilary Jones when he isn’t available.
Dr Christian Jessen is a physician, known mainly for his presenting role on the Channel 4 programmes, Embarrassing Bodies and Supersize vs Superskinny.
A post shared by UKTV (@uktv) on Jul 24, 2017 at 1:55am PDT
Studying at University College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine gave him extensive medical knowledge which has led his career to go down many paths, including presenting and writing.
Dr Christian’s knowledgeable interests don’t just stop there, either. He also has a strong passion for antique bronzes. He even the celebrity edition of the quiz show Antiques Master with this as his specialist subject.
Dr Phil rose to stardom when he appeared on Oprah back in the 90’s.
A post shared by Dr. Phil (@drphil) on Apr 8, 2019 at 2:33pm PDT
In the early 2000’s he landed his own show, in which he would welcome guests and give advice to tackle personal problems.
Before achieving celebrity status, the now-author, presenter and television personality worked hard to earma BA in Psychology, then an MA in experimental psychology, and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Texas.
Any frequent listeners of the Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2 will know the name of Sarah Jarvis.
And for those who don’t - Sarah is a GP working in Shepherd’s Bush, but she has become a recognisable name through her involvement in the media promoting health.
She has been a qualified medical doctor for over three decades, since she graduated from the University of Oxford. Now, as well as being a GP, Sarah is also the health and medical reporter for The One Show and is a regular guest on the Jeremy Vine Show.
In the 2018 New Year’s honours list Dr Jarvis was awarded an MBE for services to general practice and public understanding of health.
A post shared by Secretary Ben Carson (@secretarycarson) on Mar 2, 2017 at 3:41pm PST
You probably know Ben Carson as the American politician who ran for leader of the Republican party against Donald Trump. But did you know that he used to be a neurosurgeon?
Ben Carson graduated from Yale University and the University of Michigan Medical School, and went on to be a pioneer in neurosurgery. He is quite an extraordinary man. He was the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland for almost 30 years!
Some of his remarkable achievements include performing the only successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the back of the head, performing the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, and becoming the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the country at the tender age of 33.
Chris Steele is highly skilled in his profession, so much so, he has been awarded an MBE…
A post shared by solo16 (@solo16uk) on Dec 10, 2016 at 1:50pm PST
The hard-working and passionate doctor has been the resident doctor on ITV’s This Morning since the show began in 1988 - making him the only original and longest serving member of the This Morning team.
As well as a lengthy career as a medical professional and in broadcasting, Chris is an expert in smoking cessation and nicotine addiction.
Last, but certainly not least on our list of fascinating physicians is Dr Ranj.
A post shared by Dr Ranj (@drranj) on Jun 11, 2019 at 4:42am PDT
Dr Ranjit Singh is a doctor, but has also gone on to further his career using his vast knowledge to become a television presenter, author and columnist.
Like Dr Chris Steele, he makes appearances on This Morning as a resident doctor, and also co-hosts the show Save Money: Good Health.
Last year he used his celebrity status as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.

I have been an alcohol and drug counselor assisting adults and adolescents for years into entering recovery. So I was very excited to hear that "rehab" had gone mainstream with the idea and creation of this series. I will describe the basics that happen in each episode without giving plot spoilers, and tell you my overall opinion of the series and the DVD set at the end. Disc 1 Intake is the first episode of the series. We meet the cast of celebrity rehab, which includes Brigette Nielson, Jessica Sierra, Daniel Baldwin, Jaimee Foxworth, Chyna, Seth Binger, Mary Carey, and Jeff Conaway. Detox is the second episode, and is primarily about this process of detoxifiying from alcohol and drugs. New Arrival is the third episode, and adds Ricky Rodriquez to the bunch. Issues with rebelliousness and how that relates to recovery are discussed in the episode. Disc 2 Sex and Trauma, episode 4, is discussed as a reason for using drugs and alcohol abusively. One celebrity leaves rehab. Episode 5 is "Bye Bye Baldwin." One celebrity is confronted about the use of anabolic steroids outside of treatment, another clebrity's signifigant other brings alcohol into the unit during family visitation. Sober activities are introduced and focused on. Episode 6 is entitled "Friends and Family," and emphasizes the need of family members to attend counseling with the addicted clients. Addiction as a family disease is discussed, and how someone who does not have family involvement is likely to relapse. Disc 3 Episode 7 is entitled "Retreat" and focuses on clean and sober recreation. Rebelliousness and inappropriate behavior is discussed and observed on the program. Episode 8 is Graduation. It is observed that some clients are in "relapse mode," and seem to be reverting to old behaviors, and devaluing treatment because in actuality they don't want to leave treatment. A choice is given to the clients-each person can stay in sober living for up to three months, all expenses paid, and they must give their answer to this at the graduation ceremony. Disc 4 Episode 9 "Graduation II" Everyone says their goodbyes, and various celebrities decide upon or decline to stay in the sober living environment. Episode 10 Boy, how I wish I could give a review of this complete episode. A reunion is held of the Celebrity Rehab clients, after a complete profile of what happened to Mary Carey the DVD cut off and went back to the menu page during the segment of what happened to Ricky Rodriguez. Very disappointing. So I have no idea what happened to the majority of people who completed celebrity rehab or who stayed sober. Overall, the content of this DVD was exactly what you would see at a non-celebrity rehab center. The group counseling segments and the recreation segments are done in normal inpatient treatment centers. The celebrity clients acted as regular addicted clients do of other inpatient treatment centers, with their sexual acting out, and immature behavior. Addiction and Alcoholism is not immune to one's class status or wealth. However, I am puzzled by few mentions of the Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous groups. Both of these groups have helped millions of people to recover from addiction. Yet they are only mentioned in passing during graduation in the "Graduation II" episode. I feel a brief introduction on the importance of these groups, having a sponsor, and working the 12 steps would have been beneficial in one of the episodes of this program. Also, the DVD set was poorly put together. "Intake" is the first episode, and is listed as the first episode on the back of the DVD. Yet, it is number three, the last episode, on the DVD. The last episode of the series, "Reunion," only plays for 14 minutes before it cuts off and goes back to the menu. I returned one set of DVDS thinking that this problem with the last episode was an isolated incident, however, that is not the case. The new one I just got from Amazon.com has the same flaw, and another reviewer mentioned the fact that he could not get this episode to play either. Also, I would have liked the outtakes and deleted scenes available on this disc as well.

ok as long as you are a fan of the celebrity rehab shows (and sober house) you will love this dvd. i purchased season 1 for myself and a second one for a close friend as a gift.we are constantly in contact with each other discussing the shows when they are on. it kicks out all the comercials and you just flow with the show. i am a big fan of dr drew and the intensity of his show seems a bit deeper on the dvd.either there are scenes i missed on or they added for the dvd. the only thing i do notice is that what is bleeped out on the televised show is still bleeped out in the dvd. i would think the bleeping would have been eliminated, oh well, that is the only reason i give it 4 stars.i did try to do 4 1/2 but it wouldn't let me do it. but it is still worth investing in. 1) if you are a big fan and 2) if you are in school studying addictions (yes, for me it does help a bit in some of my psyche classes). i should be buying season 2 shortly. and don't fortget some of the patients are definatly interesting and do pull at your hearts.

As a mental health professional and medical educator, I purchased this DVD to show students and psychiatry residents what goes on in a rehab program following didactic lectures on the topic. Having worked in this type of setting in the past, I am familiar with treatment programs for addictions. Dr. Drew Pinsky is board certified in Internal Medicine and fellowship trained/boarded in Addiction Medicine. He is a professional and clearly shows compassion for his patients who struggle with addictions. He also sets limits and maintains boundaries. However, the people who made the DVD created a hodgepodge of segments that jump around, repeat and it is difficult to show the continuity of care and progress that some of the people make during treatment. I would not purchase this DVD until the producers find a way to make it less chaotic.Perhaps Season II will be better?
slugger Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2017
I liked this season a lot. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because he did give some of the celebrities some special treatment in terms of leeway when they made jokes about drugs which was starkly different from the way he depicted his type of treatment in his book The Mirror Effect. That was a disappointment.
