Some procedures require additional support or technology beyond what’s possible in an in-office setting. In those cases, Dr. Tow performs surgical care at local hospitals under general anesthesia. Hospital-based surgery may be needed for patients with complex medical conditions, trauma, or extensive facial reconstruction. It’s also an option for children who need more advanced support during anesthesia. With his dual degrees in medicine and dentistry, Dr. Tow is uniquely qualified to manage surgical treatment in a hospital environment while maintaining continuity of care from consultation through recovery.
Hospital facilities offer access to full anesthesia teams, inpatient monitoring, and interdisciplinary support when additional coordination is needed.
Patients with cardiac conditions, bleeding disorders, or other systemic needs are often better served in a hospital setting, where medical staff are on hand to assist throughout surgery and recovery.
Children who require deeper sedation or full general anesthesia benefit from a monitored hospital suite equipped with pediatric anesthesia support and post-operative care.
Dr. Tow begins by reviewing your medical and dental history in detail. Depending on the procedure, he may request additional imaging or coordinate with your physician to align on care.
Once surgery is confirmed, our team handles coordination with the hospital and guides you through the steps required before surgery, including lab work or pre-operative assessments requested by your medical team. You’ll be given clear instructions so you feel ready on the day of treatment.
At the hospital, you’ll check in with the surgical team and meet with Dr. Tow before the procedure. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia using the hospital’s surgical resources, and your comfort is supported by an experienced anesthesia and recovery staff. Most patients return home the same day, though some may stay overnight depending on the procedure.
After surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions and contact info for direct follow-up. Dr. Tow remains involved from start to finish, and all post-op visits happen at our Beverly Hills office. Our team monitors your healing carefully and is always available to answer any questions as you recover.
Some treatments are best supported in a hospital due to the complexity of the procedure, the patient’s health history, or the need for extended post-operative observation. This allows for a higher level of safety without sacrificing quality or comfort.
Yes. Dr. Tow performs the surgery himself and continues to manage your care before and after your hospital visit. He maintains privileges at local hospitals and works closely with their surgical and anesthesia teams.
Coverage for hospital surgery varies depending on your insurance plan and the specific procedure. Our front desk team can help verify your benefits, explain your estimated out-of-pocket costs, and coordinate any necessary authorizations with your provider. We also accept third-party financing through CareCredit for added flexibility.
