Google aggregate rating of 3.3 across 875 reviews reflects the entire hospital, not the limb lengthening department specifically; limb lengthening volume and outcomes are not independently published. Trustpilot has only 1 review — statistically irrelevant. Dr. Komor's primary stated expertise is ankle/foot/knee/shoulder reconstruction; limb lengthening is listed as an additional service rather than his primary subspecialty. Aggregators (Bookimed, WhatClinic, MediGlobus) used only for context, not as independent corroboration.

The surgery went smoothly and all the hospital protocols were as per the standard. The post-rehabilitation care of the hospital was also good which helped me to walk again.
Very efficient orthopedic emergency service and mega professional service with nice and helpful staff, plus specialists recognised in Europe.

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.
