Reception

Critical response

The show has been met with "mixed or average" reviews, with a collective score of 42/100 from Metacritic.[14] Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times gave the show a neutral rating, observing: "Despite the frantic and at times clunky initial execution, there are times when The Mob Doctor shows signs of transcending the typical doc-with-something-extra medical procedural."[15] Linda Stasi of the New York Post gave the show one and a half stars, saying: "They tried for the tried and true, hoping they'd get The Sopranos meets Grey's Anatomy while filling the hole House left in the schedule. And, like a camel, they ended up with an animal made by committee."[16] David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the show a 0 rating, saying: "The two-taste-treats-in-one thing worked for Hostess Ding-Dongs, so maybe Fox figured it would work for this ding-dong of a dud for the masochists in the crowd."[17]

A few critics, however, had favorable reviews. Glenn Garvin of the Miami Herald praised the concept of the show, saying: "Devlin's complex relationship with the gangsters is what elevates The Mob Doctor into something a cut or two above a Grey's Anatomy rip-off."[18] Diane Werts of Newsday noted that "No, it's not exactly House. But it isn't like any other show, either, with its mad mix of moral dilemmas, medical crises, family ties, double-life-living and, y'know, rubouts 'n' stuff."[19]
