Jennifer Ashton

Jennifer Ashton earns my respect as someone who bridges expertise and the public. Born on a California air force base in 1969 and trained as a physician at Columbia, she became the chief medical voice for ABC News and Good Morning America, with a women's-health beat on The Dr. Oz Show and a Cosmopolitan column too. Translating dense medicine into plain, trustworthy guidance is, frankly, almost as hard as practicing it well. I value people who can hold both the clinical rigor and the communicator's warmth at once, and she clearly runs on both. That combination is exactly what I trust in a media doctor.
