About Asian Hospital and Medical Center
In Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, Asian Hospital and Medical Center is a JCI-accredited tertiary hospital opened in 2002 and reaccredited in October 2025, part of the Metro Pacific Health network. Frederick Patrick I. Nicomedez, MD, Division Chief of Spine and Pediatric Orthopedics and Ilizarov Surgery at UP-PGH, is named on the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Service; Lois Desiree Obra-Roces, MD, and Cosette Esmeralda C. Atutubo, MD, are also named, though the hospital's page lists only two surgeons. Ilizarov is the only confirmed method.
The service does not offer cosmetic height increase: the hospital's current page describes correcting limb-length differences and restoring function, and an earlier cosmetic claim was withdrawn. No price is published. The 4.2 Google rating from about 1,700 reviews is hospital-wide. Rehabilitation arrangements are not documented. The hospital runs an International Health Services programme in English.
Google Maps rating 4.2 / 1,700 is for the whole hospital, not the orthopaedics department. No standalone Google listing for the LL service found. No Trustpilot listing found. No review snippets found for this specific service — insufficient public reviews to populate. Only Ilizarov confirmed from hospital's own page; LON/PRECICE not mentioned in any official source. Dr. Nicomedez clinic phone: (02) 8771 9294, Room 511, Tue/Thu 3–6 PM by appt. Surgeon-title-bug fix applied for all three: no honorific in name field, real title in title field. | CORRECTED 2026-08-13. The site migrated and three cited URLs died; two had clean successors and were re-pointed (the doctor slug simply lost its "dr-" prefix; the service moved under the Asian Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Institute, with near-identical body text to the archived original). | The third, /news/cosmetic-limb-lengthening-height-increase-surgery/, has NO Wayback snapshot at any date and appears never to have existed. The real article, linked as "Related" from the archived service page, was /news/cosmetic-limb-lengthening-do-you-want-to-be-taller/ — also now removed, surviving only in archive. The cosmetic-height claim is withdrawn from this record: the hospital's current page describes correcting limb differences and restoring function, and does not offer height increase. | Surgeon confirmed CURRENT at Asian Hospital. Two further corrections: his clinic hours are 4–6 PM on the live page, not the 3–6 PM recorded here; and the hospital page names only two surgeons on this service, so any claim of three fellowship-trained surgeons rests on a third-party profile rather than the hospital's own word. The aomi@asianhospital.com address appears on neither the live nor the archived page — treat as unsourced until re-confirmed.
