Tour Our Cosmetic Surgery Center

The Singer Surgical Centre includes a fully equipped plastic surgical facility, which is in many ways a mini-hospital, featuring state-of-the-art equipment to protect your health and well-being and ensure your comfort and safety. We respect your privacy and provide the personalized attention you deserve.

Many factors go into determining where a surgical procedure is best performed. Having your cosmetic plastic surgery performed in our center is more economical than having surgery performed in the hospital. However, Dr. Singer may suggest that your surgery be performed at Scripps Memorial Hospital, which is adjacent to our center. In all cases, the patient's comfort, safety, and the requirements of the operation factor into determining the best location.

Operating Suites

Our operating and recovery rooms undergo stringent inspection by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities and are accredited for major surgery, which is the highest rating possible.

Main Recovery Room

Most surgery is performed with a twilight sleep sedation anesthesia, which is administered by a highly specialized board-certified anesthesiologist. General anesthesia is also available.

Post-surgery Care

At our cosmetic surgery center, we can arrange for post-surgery private home care nursing, after-care facilities, and convenient hotel accommodations. We can also provide extended recovery at Scripps Memorial Hospital.
