Google Places returns no rating/review count — location listed but unrated on Google Maps as of research. No Trustpilot presence found. The 'MTN method' is described on clinic site as exclusive to Iran; this appears to be a custom intramedullary technique but is NOT the same as PRECICE/Stryde (which are Nuvasive products). LON discontinued reference: the LLCIG site states 'LON Method — Discontinued in Iran' on one page, but the about-us page still lists 400+ LON procedures — this discrepancy should be verified. LATN confirmed. Ilizarov method cited on IRHTO as used only for arm lengthening at this clinic. Case counts vary by source: tabeebo.com says 500+, llcigroup.com/about says 600+ (likely updated figure from 2024).

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.
