George Constantine Nichopoulos (October 29, 1927 – February 24, 2016), also known as Dr. Nick, was an American physician of Greek descent. He was Elvis Presley's personal physician and was controversial due to the singer's abuse of prescription drugs. The Tennessee Medical Board permanently revoked Nichopoulos's license for years of overprescribing medications.
