Google Places rating (4.9/74) is for the surgeon's personal listing at Mediterraneo Hospital, not the hospital itself. The clinic's primary brand is 'Athens BJR' in patient communities; 'Giotikas Clinic' is the newer unified brand. No Trustpilot profile found. LATN is the preferred bilateral tibial method currently; LON reserved for unilateral/cost-sensitive cases. PRECICE Stryde was used historically but recalled by Globus Medical — clinic now primarily uses PRECICE 2 and G-nail (Guichet).

Why we listed this clinic
Giotikas Clinic is the only Greece-based limb lengthening practice with a dual London–Athens footprint, giving international patients the option of UK or Greek care from the same surgeon. Dr Giotikas published a 2022 Bone & Joint Journal analysis of PRECICE Stryde-related bone lesions — one of the first papers to raise a safety flag on the then-recalled Stryde nail — demonstrating independent research rigour. The Athens location at Mediterraneo Hospital (rated 4.9/74 on Google) is a JCI-standard private hospital in Glyfada.

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.
