Limb lengthening clinics in Israel
3 independently-verified clinics in Israel. Methods offered: Ilizarov, PRECICE 2, TSF.
Israel's three listings are hospital services, not height brands: the paediatric orthopaedic programme at Rambam in Haifa, the deformity-correction service at Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital in Tel Aviv, and a trauma-reconstruction unit at Ziv in Safed. The first two have moved from external frames to PRECICE nails and publish on it; the third is an Ilizarov trauma-reconstruction service with no cosmetic remit. Private access runs through the surgeons' own clinics or Raphael Hospitals' international department, in English, Hebrew and Russian. No prices are published. Caution: none is a dedicated cosmetic centre, so expect a medical-indication conversation first, not a package quote.

By Directory Score — a single published number used only to sort. It normalises every independent rating a clinic holds to a five-point scale, weights each platform by how hard it is to inflate (Google first, Trustpilot second, doctor-booking sites capped low), and pulls thin evidence back toward the field average so a handful of friendly reviews cannot lift a clinic to the top.
A clinic is only eligible to be scored with a real base: at least 30 reviews on one platform and 40 across all of them. Below that it is listed as Unranked and sorts after the scored clinics — absence of evidence, not a verdict.
Position is never for sale, and neither is a rating. A paid profile buys presentation — more photos, a longer description, an interview — and nothing that moves a clinic up this page. Each platform’s own score stays visible and source-linked on the clinic profile; we never present one blended star as the truth. Editorial policy.
