Yes, the office is wheelchair accessible. There is a ramp that allows access to the building lobby from the street. The elevator from the lobby takes you directly to our floor and there are no additional stairs in our office. The door widths are all >32in. From the building parking garage, the building elevators are also accessible.
Where will my surgery be?
Dr. Zhu will happily operate at the location of your preference. That being said, small procedures that only require numbing medication can be done in the office. Surgeries requiring general anesthesia must be done at one of the surgery centers or at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Other factors to be aware of are the availability of the operating rooms as well as cost.
Do you offer video telehealth appointments?
Yes, Dr. Zhu does offer video consultations/visits. Due to legal requirements, you must be physically present in the state of California during your appointment.
I've heard Dr. Zhu is the best, but I don't live nearby. What special accommodations are available for out of town patients?
Dr. Zhu welcomes all out of town patients! Please inquire about special travel packages (flights, hotels, ground transportation) that we can arrange for you. Telehealth video visits can also be arranged.
Besides Beverly Hills, Dr. Zhu also has a location in San Francisco for his Bay Area patients!
Why should I choose Dr. Zhu over another plastic surgeon?
Dr. Zhu is exceptionally well qualified, having trained from the best plastic surgeons at Yale and in Texas and California.

Most importantly, however, Dr. Zhu cares about each and every one of his patients and will go the extra mile for you. Once you enter the practice, you become a member of our family.
