The One With The Pediatrician

Ranked #177 out of 236 episodes in Friends

Rachel's pediatrician drops her as a client because she calls him incessantly to ask about any insignificant issue concerning Emma, so now she must find a new one, which puts Ross in an awkward situation. Meanwhile, Joey arranges a blind date for Phoebe. Also, as Chandler and Monica are preparing to leave for Tulsa, Monica receives a job offer from a prestige restaurant in Manhattan.

Escalation-driven episode relies on character comedy cringe but never quite lands the big laugh.

Directed by Roger Christiansen · Written by Brian Buckner, Sebastian Jones
