It seems as though everything on [the broadcast networks's] schedules that isn’t a cop or lawyer show is a doctor show. And yet, somehow, I’ve never seen anything like Lenox Hill before. ... By choosing the doctors they profile there with care, director-producers Ruthie Shatz and Adi Barash capture the astounding range of personalities, specialities and styles of care the medical profession encompasses—and do justice to the many varieties of everyday heroism that take place behind hospital doors. ... The show comes by its emotional resonance honestly.

It is a singular piece of work about people, their work and the place in which those people do that work. Not surprisingly, perhaps, it is the people who make the difference, in every aspect of the story being told. ... The way they weave medical procedures together with the emotional histories, involvement and evolution of their characters is extraordinary. And extraordinarily involving.

The eight-episode first season ends up more emotionally nourishing than intellectually satisfying. ...

I'm fairly sure that for the directors, the contrasts is intentional, and they'd characterize it as reflecting a specific professional gender divide rather than reinforcing it. The effect is nevertheless limiting and limited.

A truly compelling documentary about doctors and patients. Great characters all the way. It feels like fiction sometimes because of how well scripted it is.

Great, compelling series. It shows the best side of American medicine but you have to wonder what bill these people receive at the end and how many are forced into bankruptcy trying to pay. I guess that would ruin a good story.

Real doctors, real heroes. The human and material resources that this hospital has are enviable and should be replicated.
