Tops Surgical Specialty Hospital

What Tops Surgical Specialty Hospital does

TOPS Surgical Specialty Hospital is a physician-owned inpatient and outpatient surgical specialty center headquartered in Houston, Texas. The 58,000 square foot flagship facility at 17080 Red Oak Drive operates 24/7 with 15 inpatient beds, 30 pre-op and post-op care beds, and 9 operating rooms, serving adult and pediatric patients across more than a dozen specialties including orthopedic surgery (hip, knee, shoulder, spine, hand, sports medicine), gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, urology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, podiatry, pain management, and ophthalmology. The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission, fully licensed by the state of Texas, and Medicare certified.

The organization operates a dedicated sub-brand, the TOPS Comprehensive Breast Center, with four freestanding locations across the Greater Houston metro (Houston main campus, Kingwood, Willowbrook, and The Woodlands). The breast center offers 3D and 2D mammography, contrast enhanced mammography, ultrasound-guided biopsy, stereotactic needle biopsy, fine needle aspiration, ductography, cyst aspiration, sentinel node injection, pre-operative localization, a nurse navigator program, and breast cancer survivor support groups. Other enabling programs include a Direct Screen Colonoscopy Program that allows self-scheduled screening without primary care referral, an online appointment scheduling channel, and bone density screening.

The revenue model is fee-for-service professional services across surgical and diagnostic procedures, reimbursed through commercial insurance, HMO/PPO plans, Medicare, Medicaid, Workers Compensation, and government-sponsored coverage. Pricing is published via a hospital chargemaster and DRG-level average charges, with Good Faith Estimates for uninsured and self-pay patients, and a CareCredit financing option for post-service billing. The go-to-market motion is physician-led, relying on physician referrals for most surgical cases, supplemented by direct self-scheduling for screenings, an active website and social presence, and broad commercial and government insurance network participation.
