On April 18, Dr. Mehmet Oz and his family visited the White House so President Donald Trump could swear him in as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator. His daughter, Daphne Oz, her husband, John Jovanovic, their son, Jovan, and daughter, Philomena, were among those in attendance. During the ceremony, 11-year-old Philo fainted. It was a frightening moment for the family, but Daphne took to Instagram to share the good news, Philo is OK.

The thankful mom wrote, “Thank you to everyone checking in on Philo after her big day in the Oval Office. We are so grateful it was nothing serious, and she bounced right back—with a trip for some delicious Navy Mess soft serve for good measure!!”
Daphne Shared Her Excitement for Dr. Oz And His Work With The Trump Administration
Daphne wrote she is very proud of Dr. Oz and the work he plans to do with President Trump, “I am always in awe of the myriad ways he has found to truly help and save lives, first as a cardio thoracic surgeon, then on his tv show which for many became an invaluable resource in helping us become experts in our own bodies and a part of the conversation. This next chapter is a huge undertaking to help every American regain their hope for health — the best data, the best care, the best outcomes —, and I am rooting for all of us. Love you, Dad!”
While some criticized Dr. Oz and his affiliation with Trump, many shared their relief Philo is OK.
A follower wrote, “Congratulations to your dad!! I’ve been a BIG fan of his for years! So glad your daughter is ok.”
“What a proud day for your family and father! I’m so glad your little girl is ok,” this person agreed.
