Paediatric, reconstructive, free of charge — the zero price recorded here is real, not a placeholder. Dr John Ferris introduced internal magnetic nail lengthening here in 2022-23, but his records now conflict: Healthgrades and Healthline place him in Pensacola, Florida while other directories keep him in Galveston. He is not listed until that resolves. Shriners publishes no searchable medical-staff roster for this location. Added 2026-08-12 in the US roster expansion; provenance in docs/research/us-expansion-2026-08/.
Why we listed this clinic
Dr Sanderson is an LLRS member and a POSNA 2026 Spring Research Grant recipient, named as the operating surgeon in Shriners' June 2025 PRECICE nail lengthening patient story and quoted describing hexapod circular external fixator lengthening. Shriners performs these procedures at no cost to families regardless of ability to pay.

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.
