Adult, strictly reconstructive — post-traumatic shortening, limb length discrepancy, nonunion and deformity. No cosmetic stature lengthening. Old academic correspondence emails appear on his 2003-2009 PubMed records; those are stale personal addresses, not patient-contact channels, and are deliberately not recorded.

Verification covers: named surgeon credentials, hospital affiliation, methods offered, public-facing website, and regulatory status. We re-verify quarterly. If a clinic fails a re-verification, we add an editorial note or demote its tier — we do not quietly remove it.
Independence: this clinic cannot pay to change its ranking, Directory Score, tier, or reviews. Paid options affect presentation only and are always labeled. We take no commission and charge no per-patient fee. Editorial policy.
This directory is editorial. It is not medical advice, an endorsement, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified surgeon. Pricing and availability change — always verify directly with the clinic before making decisions.
