Hip Replacement Worldwide

Great price and procedure. I travelled to Sofia where I was collected by a driver for a free transfer to the hospital which took around 1hr 20 mins. I was met by the co-ordinator who arranged for payment to be taken. I was taken to my private room which was clean with a private bathroom. After bloods and heart check the doctors came to see me and took some history and explained the procedure. I was then taken to the theatre. It only took a short while until I was awake and beck in my room. I had an early flight so was back at the airport within 24 hours with another free transfer. Overall great value and service.

I had a hip replacement operation at Nordorthopaedics two weeks ago. It was the first operation of my life so I was a bit nervous, not about the operation but the recovery! I needn’t have worried. Everything went amazingly easy. The staff, from logistics to surgeons to aftercare nurses, were all so friendly and professional. Apart from having an operation it was more like a five star hotel, inc the food. I did rehab in UPA Druskininkai for a week after the surgery and it was just the same. I cannot praise both places highly enough. If I ever need another operation I will go to Nordorthopaedics without hesitation. A Lithuanian truck driver told me about the clinic and suggested I call them. I did, and within three weeks I had organised everything with the help of Rūta at the clinic. I arrived late in Kaunas on a Sunday night, was collected by the logistics team and dropped to my hotel from the airport. So no stress with arriving at whatever time you arrive. They will be there for you. They picked me up the next morning, took me to the clinic where I did the paperwork, got an x-ray and blood tests and was shown to my room in the clinic. The doctor operated on my hip at 3pm that day and they had me doing physio at 10pm that night. Then they gave me such a huge meal like it was a five star hotel. I was amazed that I could actually stand up that very evening. The only sore part of my body was where I had the staples on my hip. To this day I still find it laughable that it was so comfortable having my procedure done. The only advice I have for anyone thinking about having a surgical procedure at Nordorthopaedics is GO, don’t wait, just go.

I decided to go private to have my hip replaced as I was told it would be 1-2years on the NHS and I was in a lot of pain. I did a search on What Clinic and chose 3 options to get a quote one of which was Mr Lewis at Goring Hall. Most clinics quoted roughly the same price. I looked into Mr. Lewis’s history and his website and was impressed with his innovative approach also Goring Hall was quite close. I had an initial appointment with Mr. Lewis and came away with a very positive and upbeat feeling. I am 1 week in from having had my op and my hip is feeling good and I am walking around the house without any aids ( tomorrow I will try a walk outside). His personalised drug program has worked really well, have also had 3 follow-up phone calls to see how I am doing. I am 75 and am impressed with the progress.

I went for my consultation with Dr Panayi and straight away I felt at ease he was very professional and understanding. He sent me for an X-ray the same day and saw me again after my X-ray. I was given excellent information and advised what was best for me in the long term. I am now waiting to go into hospital in one week.
