Dr Szymon Pietrzak
Led by Dr. n. med. Szymon Pietrzak. Specialist in Orthopaedics & Traumatology / paediatric orthopaedics; 20+ yrs experience; worked at CMKP Orthopaedics Clinic, Gruca Hospital Otwock (2003–2007+); ResearchGate affiliation Gruca Orthopaedic Hospital; sees private patients at MIRAI Clinic Otwock & IDEA Ortopedia
Legitimate reconstructive LL surgeon, NOT a cosmetic-stature clinic — thin as a standalone 'clinic' entry (tier 3). FLAG on current base: sources show he worked at the CMKP/Gruca clinic 2003–2007 and since 2022 runs his own private practice (Ortopedyczna Praktyka Lekarska) + sees patients at MIRAI Clinic and IDEA Ortopedia. ResearchGate still lists Gruca affiliation, but current day-to-day base appears to be private practice, not the public Gruca hospital — the 'Gruca/STOCER' framing may be partly historical. Verified via ResearchGate, ALEO registry, ZnanyLekarz, MIRAI & IDEA Ortopedia. Limb lengthening confirmed as a listed specialty. No published direct clinic email/phone dedicated to lengthening; not fabricating. | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (batch-2 deepen/gap); codex web-search cross-checked.

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.
