Dr Geiger is dual fellowship-trained in orthopaedic oncology and limb deformity, trained in limb lengthening and complex reconstruction at HSS, and is an LLRS member. His practice covers limb lengthening, short stature, osseointegration and bone defect reconstruction. University of Miami's own faculty page independently confirms Dr. Geiger's current Miami appointment with no residual Philadelphia/Rothman reference, resolving the prior tour's concern about a stale directory address.

Common questions about Miami Limb Lengthening
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How do patients rate Miami Limb Lengthening?
Across independent platforms Miami Limb Lengthening holds Google 4.1/5 (43 reviews). We show each platform separately rather than blending them into one score; figures were last checked 2026-09-11. Read the reviews themselves, not just the number — limb lengthening reviews cluster at the extremes.
How much does limb lengthening cost at Miami Limb Lengthening?
Miami Limb Lengthening does not publish a price, and we do not invent one. Comparable USA clinics in this directory range widely by method; use the cost estimator or contact the clinic for a written quote before travelling.
Which limb lengthening methods does Miami Limb Lengthening offer?
Miami Limb Lengthening has not publicly listed which lengthening device it uses. Ask directly — the device (internal nail vs external frame) changes cost, recovery and risk profile.
What does recovery look like after surgery at Miami Limb Lengthening?
Distraction runs at roughly 1 mm per day for 4–8 weeks, consolidation takes another 3–6 months while the new bone hardens, and physiotherapy-led return to full activity is usually 6–12 months from surgery. The clinic has not published which device it uses, and the recovery curve depends on it — internal nails and external frames differ materially.
