A doctor is first on the scene and begins applying pressure to the child 's neck. Shaun tells him he 's pressing on the wrong part of the neck for a child. With his unique ability to visualize the internal body and using improvised methods and tools, Shaun is able to stabilize the boy. On the way to the hospital, Shaun notices that the boy 's vitals have changed. Hospital staff are alerted to the arrival of the boy. Shaun tries to tell them about the boy 's vitals, stating that he needs an echo - cardiogram. The doctors disagree and begin surgery. While operating, something goes wrong and Claire Browne, a surgical resident, recalls Shaun mentioning an echo. Thanks to Shaun 's diagnosis, the boy 's life is saved. Meanwhile, in a board meeting at the hospital, Dr. Aaron Glassman, president of the hospital, tries to convince the board to hire Shaun, despite his autism. Flashbacks give us a picture of Shaun 's childhood and his motivation for becoming a doctor. `` Mount Rushmore '' Mike Listo David Shore October 2, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 02 ) 10.93 The doctors get a middle - aged woman with abnominal pains, which they intitially diagonise her of a sarcoma. Dr. Neil Melendez assigns Dr. Claire Browne as his number two for the case, punishing Shaun by telling him to do `` scut work '' ; all the work that residents hate doing. On the operating table, the doctors find out the tumor is much bigger than it looked on scans ; the tumor has encased all of her arteries. After they run a biopsy, the residents find out that she is suffering from malignant Leiomyosarcoma, making surgery very difficult. Shaun comes up with the idea of cutting off one of her kidneys in order to get a good enough view to successfully remove the mass. To Claire 's dismay, Dr. Kalu suggests Shaun 's idea to his attending ; getting the credit for the idea. Subsequently, on reviewing a young girl 's blood work, Shaun suspects the patient has an intestinal volvulus. `` Oliver '' John Dahl Bill Rotko October 9, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 09 ) 10.69 Shaun and Claire fly to San Francisco Municipal Hospital to get a patient a liver. They ca n't fly on their way back due to fog and are forced to use a police escort. Problems keep coming one after the other ; first, the liver 's temperature went above the required maximum, forcing them to have a sudden stop at a local store, where they cool it by submerging it in slush. As they proceed with their journey, Shaun discovers that the liver has a clot. With only two hours of viability left, the duo decide to perform an operation on the way in order to remove the clot and flash the left lobe, to protect it from the ice bath. Back at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, Chuck, the recipient of the liver, is discovered to have alcohol in his system ; a likelihood that he might be moved to the bottom of the list. Chuck later confesses that he actually took a drink on his daughter 's graduation. In order to protect its reputation and the future patients, the hospital decides to move Chuck to the bottom of the list. To their dismay, Shaun and Claire arrive back, only to find out that the liver has to be taken to another patient in another hospital. `` Pipes '' Steven DePaul Thomas L. Moran October 16, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 16 ) 10.60 Through an ultrasound, an expectant woman 's baby is diagnosed with a tumor at his tail bone ; the mom has Antiphospholipid syndrome, making surgery a high risk. Dr. Melendez suggests termination of the pregnancy but Shaun interjects by suggesting clotting pre-operatively with an infusion of unfractionated heparin. Things are further complicated when the woman and eventually her husband refuse to terminate the baby. During surgery, there is a complication ; a blood clot at the artery in her heart. Dr. Kalu has an idea that they should stop her heart and put her on a bypass machine for the duration of the surgery ; that way she wo n't have an heart attack, which turns out to be successful and the doctors reveal she 's carrying a baby boy. With a patient needing a boil lanced, Dr. Melendez assigns Shaun and Dr. Browne on the case, as a punishment for being late. The patient turns out to be a pornographic actress ; she does n't have a boil but a large Bartholin gland abscess and they prep her for surgery the following day. They successfully drain the abscess but discover that she has a Perineal myoma underneath. The fabroid tumor is wrapped around the nerve that facilitates feeling in her genitals. Therefore, the doctors have to remove the tumor but they have to sever the nerve ; hence, losing all feeling in her genitals. Shaun comes up the idea of grafting the distal end of the pudendal nerve to the branch of the femoral cutaneous nerve from her inner thigh ; this will lead to her losing feeling in her thigh while preserving feeling in her genitals. 5 `` Point Three Percent '' Larry Teng David Hoselton October 23, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 23 ) 10.39 Shaun notices a young boy with an indubitable resemblance to his deceased brother Steve, forming a bond with him. The boy 's name is actually Evan and was brought to the hospital by his parents for reportedly breaking an arm ; unbeknownst to Evan, he is in fact suffering from stage 4 Osteosarcoma. Shaun later suspects that he might have been misdiagnosed with cancer but indeed was suffering from Langerhans cell histiocytosis. In order not to give both Evan and his parents false hopes, Shaun decides to lie, attempting to perform a bone marrow arspiration, but he is caught red - handed by the parents. Subsequently, Evan starts coughing out blood, sending him to the OR. While on the operating table, Dr. Neil Mendelez and Dr. Claire Browne discover that the cancer had metastasized, undoubtable proof that he is indeed suffering with terminal cancer. The other doctors are trying to find a prognosis of a 55 - year old man, brought to the hospital by his estranged son, with an allergy causing him to have convulsions. Dr. Browne later finds out that the man is suffering from Echinococcus, a cyst form of tapeworms. Saddened by Evan 's fate, Shaun reads Evan the final few pages of To Kill a Mockingbird, a book of Steve 's that he never finished reading before he died. 6 `` Not Fake '' Michael Patrick Jann Simran Baidwan October 30, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 30 ) 10.60 Shaun and the rest of the residents are working the graveyard shift when numerous casualties from a wedding bus crash come in. Among the victims are a woman with severe, visible burns, on whom Dr. Kalau tries an experimental procedure, and a young man with a damaged leg who can either have it amputated, or have an artificial bone inserted. The relative newness of the latter procedure causes a conflict between the man 's parent and his soon - to - be bride. 7 `` 22 Steps '' David Straiton Johanna Lee November 13, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 13 ) 10.50 Shaun encounters Liam, an autistic patient brought in to San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. Having to face prejudice from the young man 's parents, Dr. Melendez defends him for the first time and acknowledges his exceptional abilities. On Dr. Glassman 's directive, Claire continues her therapy sessions in order to curb her guilt over the death of a patient she inadvertently caused. On the other hand, Dr. Kalu gets a 73 - year old man with severe chest pains thus needing urgent medical attention and a pacemaker but his desire is to die ; in order to give him hope on life, Dr. Kalu does everything he can to have him accept treatment, to no avail in which the latter finally let him sign the DNR. 8 `` Apple '' Nestor Carbonell David Renaud November 20, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 20 ) 9.97 While shopping at a grocery mart for apples, a robbery takes place. With Shaun 's communication limitations, he puts the lives of two customers on a first date at risk, leading to a young woman getting shot. Shaun admits to his neighbor Lea that he made a mistake with someone getting hurt. During surgery, Dr. Lim questions Claire 's ability to not let her emotions get the better of her because of a racist patient. This leads to a fight between the two with Dr. Lim ordering Claire to leave the operating room. Claire puts her emotions in check to save the life of the racist patient much to the satisfaction and delight of Dr. Lim. 9 `` Intangibles '' Bronwen Hughes Karen Struck November 27, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 27 ) TBD 10 `` Sacrifice '' Michael Patrick Jann Lloyd Gilyard Jr. December 4, 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 04 ) TBD Production Development In May 2014, CBS Television Studios began development on an American remake of the hit South Korean medical drama Good Doctor with Daniel Dae Kim as producer. Kim explained the appeal of adapting the series as `` something that can fit into a recognizable world, with a breadth of characters that can be explored in the long run ''. The story of a pediatric surgeon with Asperger syndrome was to be set in Boston and projected to air in August 2015. However, CBS did not pick up the project and it moved to Sony Pictures Television, with a put pilot commitment from ABC in October 2016. The series is developed by David Shore, who is executive producing alongside Kim, Sebastian Lee, and David Kim. ABC officially ordered the series to pilot in January 2017. On May 11, 2017, ABC ordered the show to series as a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios, and it was officially picked up for a full season of 18 episodes on October 3, 2017. Casting On February 17, 2017, Antonia Thomas was cast as Dr. Claire Browne, a strong - willed and talented doctor who forms a special connection with Shaun. A week later, Freddie Highmore was cast in the lead role as Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism ; and Nicholas Gonzalez was cast as Dr. Neil Melendez, the boss of the surgical residents at the hospital. The next month, Chuku Modu was cast as resident Dr. Jared Unger ; Hill Harper as head of surgery Dr. Horace Andrews ; Irene Keng as resident Dr. Elle McLean ; and Richard Schiff was cast as Dr. Ira Glassman, President of the San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital and mentor to Shaun. He was shortly followed by Beau Garrett as hospital board member Jessica Preston and a friend of Dr. Glassman. With the series order in May, Modu 's character was revealed to have changed to Dr. Jared Kalu ; Harper 's character changed to Dr. Marcus Andrews ; and Schiff 's character changed to Dr. Aaron Glassman. In September 2017, Tamlyn Tomita was promoted to the principal cast as Allegra Aoki. Filming Surrey city hall. Production on the pilot took place from March 21 to April 6, 2017 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Filming for the rest of the season began on July 26, 2017, and is set to conclude on March 1, 2018. The Surrey, British Columbia city hall serves as the fictional San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital in exterior shots. Although The Good Doctor is set in San Jose, California, the real San Jose is rarely seen. In one of those scenes, a helicopter supposedly bound for San Francisco was clearly headed in the wrong direction. Music Dan Romer serves as the primary composer for the series.

Seven Network airs the series in Australia. Marketing A full length trailer was released for ABC 's May 2017 Upfront presentation, which / Film 's Ethan Anderton described the concept as feeling like `` House meets Rain Man, that just might be enough to make it interesting ''. However, he questioned `` how long can audiences be entranced by both the brilliance of ( Highmore 's ) character 's savant skills and the difficulties that come from his autism in the workplace. '' Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter felt the trailer was `` both kinda progressive and really dated ''. He added, `` Too much felt on - the - nose -- especially Hill Harper as the main character 's detractor and Richard Schiff as his noble defender '', while also commentating that `` On - the - nose / premise is how you have to trailer a show like this, and maybe spaced out over 43 minutes it wo n't grate. '' Ben Travers and Steve Greene for IndieWire called it `` a serious trailer for a serious subject. The first glimpse of Highmore 's character hints that they 're toeing the line between presenting a thoughtful depiction of his condition and using his perceptive abilities as a kind of secret weapon. '' The trailer had been viewed over 25.4 million times after a week of its release, including over 22 million views on Facebook. The pilot was screened at ABC 's PaleyFest event on September 9, 2017.

Critical response The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 55 % approval rating with an average rating of 5.35 / 10 based on 38 reviews. The website 's consensus reads, `` The Good Doctor 's heavy - handed bedside manner undermines a solid lead performance, but under all the emotionally manipulative gimmickry, there 's still plenty of room to improve. '' Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 53 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Giving his first impression of the series ' pilot for TVLine, Matt Webb Mitovich stated, `` The Good Doctor boasts great DNA... ( and ) has the potential to be a refreshingly thought - provoking hospital drama, based on the buttons pushed in the pilot alone. '' He enjoyed the `` warm dynamic '' of Schiff and Highmore, while describing Thomas ' character as `` our emotional ' in ' to Shaun 's distinct, distant world ''. He noted that `` it takes a while to build up momentum '', but concluded that `` the very final scene packs quite a punch, as Dr. Murphy unwittingly puts a colleague on notice ''. The New York Times television critic, James Poniewozik notes in his Critic 's Notebook column, that for the most part the drama is a `` hospital melodrama with whiz - bang medical science, a dash of intra-staff romance and shameless sentimentality. '' Discussing the main characters of Dr. Aaron Glassman ( Richard Schiff ) and Dr. Shaun Murphy ( Freddie Highmore ), however, Poniewozik writes that `` Mr. Schiff is convincing in the role and Mr. Highmore is striking in his.
