Season 2 Review: Don't let [Dr. OZ's] presence dissuade you from enjoying what's otherwise an almost freakishly absorbing series. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJun 26, 2014
Season 2 Review: This eight-episode series eventually moves to multiple dramas, from some of those gunshot victims to a nurse who loses her job. And thus it remains a “med” show, which is heartening news. Read full review

Denver PostJoanne OstrowJun 23, 2014
Season 2 Review: It's telegenic, adrenaline-pumping drama, edited to manipulate as well as inform. (Not for nothing is a fresh-faced young female urologist the first character introduced, talking about a penile surgery.) But it's also real and, for that reason, far better than the "Grey's Anatomy" soap opera. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Matt Zoller SeitzJul 10, 2012
Season 1 Review: NY Med is filled with warm, honest moments--some poignant, others comic--and characters who would be plenty compelling even if they didn't keep revealing surprising new sides. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamaraJul 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: NY Med is a surprisingly addictive medical docu-series, fascinating as much in form as it is in function. The third in a series of similarly-themed programs prod Read full review

Denver PostJoanne OstrowJul 6, 2012
Season 1 Review: Producer Terence Wrong once again delivers fast-paced, narration-free, riveting footage, thanks to video crews who spent four months, unescorted and unhindered, with hospital personnel and patients at crisis points in their lives. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Chances are, it will make you cry even more often than it makes you laugh, but it will rarely bore you. Read full review

The New York TimesMike HaleJul 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: [Dr. Oz's presence is not] fatal to the enjoyment provided by the eight hours of NY Med, and we can also forgive the familiar situations and stock characters. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryJun 24, 2014
Season 2 Review: While this latest version of the show remains above that sometimes-toxic mix [stories of missing women, murderous husbands (or did he?) and obviously staged moral dilemmas], these hours prove that it is not, alas, immune to its influence. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJun 25, 2014
Season 2 Review: The shortcoming of NY Med isn’t Dr. Oz (who is not around much in the early episodes); it’s that the program doesn’t trust its own best vignettes, lingering too long on emotions that speak for themselves, tarting up inherently powerful moments with syrupy music. Read full review
