Serper Places returned no Google star rating for the CEMTRO listings, and no Trustpilot listing was found. Doctoralia clinic-level rating (4/5, 469 reviews) covers the whole clinic, not the lengthening unit. Surgeon-level independent ratings (Cabello 5.0/39 on both Doctoralia and TopDoctors) are strong. A third surgeon, Dr. Carlos Miranda Gorozarri, also works in the unit.

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.
