I did a lot of research into Dr. Mirzoyan along with his team and found that their record was very clean and very safe.
Dr. Arshak Mirzoyan and his team were absolutely phenomenal. Limb lengthening as a procedure is overwhelming. Classy, caring and concise. Highly recommended.
The flow of the foreigners to our Center continues and they are quite satisfied with the results from our work.

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.
