Ladisten Clinic
Led by Dr. Veklich Vitaliy Viktorovich. Orthopedist-traumatologist, highest category; founder & chief surgeon; 46 yrs experience (grad. Vinnytsia National Medical University 1979); Candidate of Medical Sciences; developer of the patented Veklich external-fixation device; listed as member of SICOT and ASAMI on independent directory likarni.com
VERIFIED existence across 8+ independent, non-aggregator sources: likarni.com (doctor profile 8.85/10, 15 reviews, SICOT+ASAMI + current 46-yr status), medcentre.com.ua, doctora.ua, doc.guru, otzovik.com, legscorrection.ru forum, orthopaedicweblinks.com, Google Maps 4.6(43), doctor.global. Lead surgeon Veklich confirmed CURRENT and actively practising. Daughter Viktoria left verified:false (no independent authority listing). ADVERSARIAL FLAGS: (1) SICOT/ASAMI membership is asserted via an independent Ukrainian directory (likarni), NOT confirmed in the authority bodies' own member registries — treat as claimed. (2) A critical warning site (doctorveklich.net, 'Doctor Veklich - Serious Warning') surfaced in Google/Bing indexes alleging obsolete methods and unpublicised poor outcomes; the domain is now offline (DNS not resolving) so contents could not be re-verified, but the existence of organised criticism is worth flagging. (3) Method is an EXTERNAL FIXATOR (modified Ilizarov), NOT internal motorized nails — set patient expectations accordingly. Contact pulled from clinic site (supporting). | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (gap-country pass); codex web-search cross-checked.

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.
