Time To Be Taller

VERIFIED 2026-08-13. The integrity audit reported both source_urls dead; they are not. timetobetaller.com sits behind Cloudflare and returns 403 to our checker while serving 200 through other routes. The domain was renewed in November 2025 and the site is actively maintained. | The lead surgeon is real and currently practising. Muhammed Duman publishes under the pre-naturalisation surname ABUGHALWA — Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2020, PMID 31748883, affiliated to Emsey Hospital, Istanbul. Searching "Duman" in the literature returns nothing, which is why earlier passes found none. | ADDED: Sedat Duman as a second lead surgeon. He is named by patients in independent forum accounts as operating and was missing from this record entirely. | ADDED: $19,000 for LON femur or tibia, from a patient's written 2025 account on limblengtheningforum, including hospital, implants, surgeon and assistant fees and physiotherapy. Graded `review`, not a published price. | This is a surgeon-owned brand rather than a third-party facilitator — the phone on the brand matches Dr Duman's own Google Business Profile, and a web agency's client list ties Time To Be Taller, DMN Orthospine and Dr Muhammed Duman Klinik to one owner. | RED FLAGS. (1) NO OPERATING HOSPITAL IS NAMED anywhere on the site, the profile or any listing; the published address is an office suite at Mall of Istanbul The Office Plaza, Başakşehir. A patient cannot learn where they will be operated on before committing. This is a finding, not a missing field. (2) Neither surgeon has a single peer-reviewed publication on limb lengthening or deformity correction; their indexed work is trauma, nailing, arthroplasty and cartilage. No limb-reconstruction society membership found. (3) The surgeon's own site lists conference posters and oral presentations under a heading claiming SCI/SCI-E indexed journal articles. (4) Members of the patient community challenged the positive testimonials in both forum threads as inauthentic; the accounts were denied and the question is unresolved — recorded as disputed, not as proof either way. (5) The 5.0 from 37 Google rating belongs to the surgeon's personal profile, not to a clinic listing; no Business Profile exists for Time To Be Taller as a business. (6) The "up to 8 cm in 3 months" figure is the company's own claim. Website moved to https://dmnorthospine.com/en-GB/Anasayfa (refresh 2026-09-11).
