Dr. 90210 is a reality television series focusing on plastic surgery in the wealthy suburb of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, California. The series began its run in 2004. Dr. 90210 gets its name from the zip code of the core of Beverly Hills, familiar to most viewers because of the former popular television series Beverly Hills 90210.
The show is produced by E!, but is broadcast on several other basic cable network channels, such as the Style Network. Each episode is approximately one hour long. The show stands out from other programs of this sort in that it also examines the lives of the doctors featured in its lineup.
The show features interviews with the patients, semi-graphic footage of the surgeries, and before and after footage of the patients. For example, for patients wanting breast augmentation, the show displays the doctor examining the patient's breasts before and after surgery. Only content such as the patient's areolas are blocked. (On Australian Foxtel as well as on E! Germany, very graphic footage of surgery (including rhinoplasty and breast implant replacement) has been shown without any censoring of body parts).
The show began by focusing on the life and practice of Dr. Robert Rey, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Other surgeons featured in the first season included Dr. Ellenbogen and Dr. Kotler. The show's lineup has expanded to include other practices such as that of Dr. Gary Alter, Dr. Jason Diamond, Dr. Linda Li, brothers Dr. Julian Omidi and Dr. Michael Omidi, Dr. David Matlock, Dr. William Aiello, Dr. Dean Manus, Dr. Gary Motykie, Drs. Susan and Brian Evans, and Big Brother 2 winner Dr. Will Kirby.
