About Wellstar Orthopedics
Wellstar Orthopedics offers limb lengthening and deformity correction at Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center, 790 Church Street in Marietta, Georgia. Stephen Becher, MD, Program Director of the Wellstar Kennestone Orthopedic Surgery Residency and dual fellowship-trained in orthopaedic trauma and oncology, is a Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society member who has been with Wellstar since 2016 and authored the network's own limb lengthening article in early 2025.
Limb lengthening is one service among several here rather than the centre of the practice; his stated subspecialties are trauma and oncology, and the work is adult and reconstructive. Wellstar publishes a patient rating from its own internal review system, not Google, so no rating is shown here. No device is named, so none is recorded under methods, and no price or international patient services are published; the record holds no case-volume or outcome figures for lengthening.

Common questions about Wellstar Orthopedics
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How do patients rate Wellstar Orthopedics?
Across independent platforms Wellstar Orthopedics holds Google 3.0/5 (2 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 Wellstar Orthopedics?
Wellstar Orthopedics 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 Wellstar Orthopedics offer?
Wellstar Orthopedics 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 Wellstar Orthopedics?
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.
Does Wellstar Orthopedics treat international patients?
Wellstar Orthopedics did not explicitly advertise international-patient services on its website when we verified it. Consultation languages on record: English. Confirm travel logistics, translation and follow-up arrangements directly before booking.
