About Premier Limb Lengthening
Premier Limb Lengthening is a cosmetic and reconstructive limb-lengthening surgery practice founded by Dr. Hrayr Basmajian. Our office is located at 400 N. Mountain Ave. Suite 305, Upland, CA 91786, in San Bernardino County, California.
Premier Limb Lengthening is a separate and independent medical practice. Dr. Basmajian founded both Premier Limb Lengthening and Premier Orthopaedic and Trauma Specialists, but Premier Limb Lengthening is not a division, subsidiary, affiliate, or part of Premier Orthopaedic and Trauma Specialists. These Terms bind Premier Limb Lengthening only. References in these Terms to we, us, our, the practice, or Premier Limb Lengthening mean Premier Limb Lengthening alone.
What the Website is
The Website is an informational and marketing resource for people interested in cosmetic and reconstructive limb lengthening. Through the Website we provide the following.
- General educational content about limb-lengthening procedures, recovery, and related topics.
- Information about Dr. Basmajian and the practice.
- Pricing information and information about financing options.
- A consultation request form through which you can ask to be contacted.
What the Website is not
The Website has clear limits. Please keep the following in mind.
- The Website is not a patient portal and is not part of an electronic health record system.
- The Website does not provide medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or a second opinion online.
- Submitting the consultation request form does not enroll you as a patient and does not begin any course of treatment.
No Medical Advice
The content on the Website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment by a qualified physician who has examined you and reviewed your individual medical history.
Reading the Website, contacting us, or submitting the consultation request form does not create a physician-patient relationship between you and Dr. Basmajian or Premier Limb Lengthening. A physician-patient relationship is formed only after you complete a formal consultation and are accepted as a patient of the practice, and after any required agreements are signed.
You should never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on the Website. Always consult a qualified physician or other licensed health professional with any questions you may have about a medical condition or treatment. Decisions about limb-lengthening surgery should be made together with your treating physician based on your individual circumstances.
EMERGENCY NOTICE. Do not use the Website, the consultation form, the chat widget, or text messaging for medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency department. These channels are not monitored around the clock and are not designed for urgent or time-sensitive medical needs.
Individual Results and Testimonials
Limb-lengthening outcomes vary from patient to patient. Results depend on many factors, including your anatomy, your overall health, the procedure performed, your adherence to the recovery and physical-therapy plan, and other individual circumstances. We cannot and do not promise any specific result.
Any statistics, height ranges, timelines, recovery descriptions, before-and-after references, photographs, reviews, or testimonials presented on the Website reflect individual experiences. Please keep the following in mind.
- Individual experiences are not a prediction, promise, or guarantee of the results you will achieve.
- Ranges and averages are provided for general educational purposes and may not apply to your case.
- Patient testimonials and any patient images are published with the patient’s authorization and remain the experience of that individual patient.
Your own candidacy, expected results, and risks can only be determined through a formal evaluation with Dr. Basmajian.

Disclaimer of Warranties
THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT, MATERIALS, AND FEATURES ON IT ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS IS AND AS AVAILABLE BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Premier Limb Lengthening disclaims all warranties relating to the Website, including the following.
- The implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

- Any warranty that the Website will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
You assume full responsibility for your use of the Website and any reliance you place on its content. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Nothing in this section disclaims the professional standard of care owed within an actual physician-patient relationship, which is governed by applicable law and not by these Terms.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PREMIER LIMB LENGTHENING, ITS OWNERS, PHYSICIANS, EMPLOYEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE WEBSITE. This includes, without limitation, damages for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The following limits on the disclaimer above apply.
- Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages, so some of the limitations above may not apply to you.
- Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
- This section relates to your use of the Website only. It does not limit, waive, or affect the professional standard of care, or any liability arising from that standard of care, owed within an actual physician-patient relationship, which is governed by applicable law.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Premier Limb Lengthening, together with its owners, physicians, employees, contractors, and service providers, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that arise out of or relate to any of the following.
- Your misuse of the Website.
- Your violation of these Terms.
- Your violation of any applicable law or of the rights of any third party.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.
Privacy
Your use of the Website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is available at /privacy and is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information through the Website, including how we handle mobile information for the text messaging program described above.
Premier Limb Lengthening is a HIPAA covered entity. Protected health information that we hold as part of an actual treatment relationship is handled in accordance with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, applicable California medical-privacy law, and our Notice of Privacy Practices, rather than under these Terms. Information you submit through the public Website, such as a consultation request, is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to your use of the Website, are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
You agree to the following regarding any dispute.
- The exclusive venue for any dispute that is not otherwise resolved will be the state and federal courts located in San Bernardino County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
- Before filing any formal action, you agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at privacy@premierlimblengthening.com or (951) 620-5663, and to allow us a reasonable period to respond and attempt a resolution.
This section governs disputes about the Website and these Terms. It does not govern any medical malpractice or professional-liability claim arising from an actual physician-patient relationship, which is subject to its own applicable law.
Changes to These Terms
We may update or revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, to our practices, or to applicable law. When we do, we will update the effective date shown on this page. Material changes may be communicated through the Website or by other reasonable means.
Your continued access to or use of the Website after the updated Terms take effect means that you accept the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you are aware of the current Terms.
Miscellaneous
A few final provisions apply to these Terms.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other terms expressly incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and Premier Limb Lengthening regarding your use of the Website, and they supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it later.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of the practice.
- Headings. The headings in these Terms are provided for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of any provision.
