VERIFIED Tier 1. Independent of aggregators and own site: ResearchGate academic profile, LL Forum poll (26% of Turkey votes), the archived limblengtheningforum.com diary threads, and news/academic coverage of the 2011 first-PRECICE surgery. CORRECTION: the candidate's website domain 'metinkucukkaya.com.tr' is wrong — the live site is metinkucukkaya.com. Marketing '0% long-term complication rate' claims on affiliated pages are promotional; the surgeon himself is genuine and current. Email visible on site but redacted at fetch — do not guess. | 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.
