CRITICAL GEOGRAPHIC FLAG: The assigned slug and previous listing says 'Bogotá' but all verified sources — clinic website, Google Business listing, Doctoralia, IQ InterQuirófanos, Paley Institute press release — place Dr. Mora exclusively in Medellín (Torre Médica El Tesoro). The slug should be corrected to reflect Medellín. Google listing only has 4 reviews (under CORA Group IPS), very low for a high-volume international practice. Doctoralia Colombia profile has no published reviews yet. The PRECICE 2 designation is used on his site; whether he also performs PRECICE Stryde or PRECICE Max is not confirmed in public sources.

Why we listed this clinic
Dr. León Mora is the most internationally recognised surgeon in this cohort: first in Colombia to use the PRECICE nail (2018), 100+ PRECICE implants, and the only LATAM surgeon to co-launch an official Paley Institute affiliate site (July 2024). He holds LLRS-NA corresponding membership since 2002, was ASAMI-Colombia Vice-President, and sits on AO Trauma Faculty. His second website leonmoramd.com claims over 30 years of stature-increase specialisation. The Paley partnership is independently documented by paleyinstitute.org.

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.
