Initial reception and criticisms

Bloggers have criticized Ampang Medikal for being a "painful rip-off of sorts" from its Cliché lines, unconvincing acting, and most notably its glaring similarities to Grey's Anatomy. For example the lead role being an intern. Also the failed attempt to re-create McDreamy™ + Alex Karev by casting Mohd Fazlie Abdul Rahim (as Dr Jeffrey Dato' Sulaiman ) which in turn ends up disastrously, Dr Jeffery was nicknamed McRempit™ by a blogger for his interest in motorcycles (and him constantly holding a helmet by his side) and his aggressive attitude in pursuing women.
