Nick Riviera

October 5th, 2006

Dr Nick Riviera is a quack physician and has a medical degree from a community college. Though ludicrously incompetent, Riviera has yet to be sued by any of his patients, and is willing to perform any medical procedure for money with little regard to professional ethics. He has appeared on a number of TV shows and infomericals to promote devices of dubious medical benefit. As such he is both an amusing caricature and a very accurate depiction of todays quacks and charlatans.

*Not to be confused with Dr Niko Tiliopoulos.
*Possibly to be confused with Elvis Presley’s doctor, George C Nichopoulos (a.k.a. Dr Nick).
