About Indraprastha Apollo Hospital
Opened in 1996 as part of the Apollo Hospitals Group, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi offers limb lengthening through its general orthopedics department rather than a dedicated unit. Raju Vaishya, MBBS, MS(Ortho), Prof., a senior consultant orthopedic surgeon, is named, though his primary work is joint replacement with lengthening as a secondary service; Vinod Sukhija, MBBS, MS, MCh, a senior orthopedic surgeon, is also listed. Methods are Ilizarov, LON and, on a limited basis, PRECICE. The hospital holds JCI and NABH accreditation.
No price is published; $7,500 to $15,000 is patient-reported. Neither named surgeon lists cosmetic stature lengthening among their procedures, so ask directly who would perform it and how many such cases they handle. Rehabilitation arrangements are not documented. The 4.7 Google rating from about 15,000 reviews is for the whole hospital. Apollo International Patient Services supports overseas patients in Hindi, English and Arabic.

Why we listed this clinic
Large hospital with LL capability but not a dedicated LL center. Dr. Vaishya's primary focus is joint replacement, not cosmetic LL. Apollo Hospitals (the group) markets a dedicated 'Best Limb Lengthening Doctors in India' page (apollohospitals.com/book-doctor-appointment/limb-lengthening/procedure), confirming the group offers the service — but this specific page 403'd on every fetch attempt, so which doctors it names could not be confirmed.
