"NY Med" is a follow-up to previous hospital-centric documentary series "Hopkins" and "Boston Med." The show spotlights compassionate surgeons who change people's lives with their medical brilliance -- and luck. Alongside cutting-edge medicine, the hospital staff interacts with strong-willed patients and one another, developing complicated relationships with people they see more than their own families. The show features Dr. Mehmet Oz, who uses his surgical skill to fix hearts and save lives.

Ralph Gardner Jr. Wall Street Journal 10/01/2020
It's not as if the direction or production values are so great that they make me forget that the difference between reality and scripted TV is largely in the eye of the beholder. It's that it's hard not to be moved by the subject matter. Go to Full Review Eric Deggans Tampa Bay Times 10/01/2020
Every so often, a really good unscripted show punches through the muck of Real Housewives knockoffs to make an impact. That show, this year, is ABC's NY Med. Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday 10/01/2020
A+
NY Med is unscripted storytelling at its best, but it certainly helps to have the right components for this kind of story, notably the nurses and doctors (and not just that wizard Oz, either) and a stream of humanity at its most vulnerable. Go to Full Review Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters 10/01/2020
NY Med confirms two notions: your fear of hospitals is well founded. And the people in them do their best to get you through it. Go to Full Review Liane Bonin Starr HitFix 10/01/2020
While NY Med is only sporadically gripping, it's interesting enough to make me set my DVR. Ironically, what ABC considers their biggest selling point in the show may in fact be the weakest. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 10/01/2020
3/5
The series offers a voyeuristic but humanizing look into the day-to-day lives of medical professionals as they do their jobs helping the injured and sick from all walks of life that come to them for help. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
