KEPT — strongest and only genuinely-verified dedicated limb-lengthening provider among the three Egypt candidates. Existence and identity confirmed across multiple INDEPENDENT Egyptian doctor directories (Vezeeta, DRAPP, ekshef, clinido, dawinaa) plus an official Facebook page — not aggregator-only. Full lengthening method range and Cairo/Hurghada contacts confirmed directly on his site. TWO CORRECTIONS TO CANDIDATE DATA: (1) credential is MRCS (Member), NOT FRCS (Fellow) — his own About page states 'Member and fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (MRCS)'; the candidate's 'FRCS' is inaccurate. (2) Also lists membership of the Swiss Society of Fracture Surgery. TIER DOWNGRADED 1 -> 2: no LLRS / ASAMI / SICOT authority-body or registry membership could be found for him, so the Tier-1 requirement (named current surgeon verified in an authority body/registry) is NOT satisfied; he is a solid, multi-sourced, real-contact provider = Tier 2. principal.verified=false (no authority-registry confirmation), current=true. Only one independent review signal (Vezeeta 5.0/57). No email or price published — not invented. No confirmed direct image-file URL of the exact person, so no surgeon photo kept. | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (gap-country pass); codex web-search cross-checked. | email via lead surgeon own-site

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.
