Knee Replacement Worldwide

I got in touch with Alisher over whatsapp and he provided me with enough information for me to confidently commit to the procedure. I arrived in Istanbul and was provided with transport to and from the hotel and hospital. The procedure was performed as well as I could have hoped. Alisher and Dr. Uysal answered all my questions and were very transparent about the whole process. Everyone who I interacted with was professional and polite.

I visited the Vita Clinic to have a colonoscopy in early July 2023. My father had a colon cancer at 63 so I had to take this examination quickly to make sure everything is ok. I chose this clinic in Sofia because of its good reputation given by local people. Upon my arrival, I was very well received by the medical staff. Then I could quickly take the different pre-coloscopy tests (blood test, X-ray pictures,...) without queueing during hours. I noticed that the communication between the differents medical units are very good because each unit knew my name upon my arrival at the unit and the reason of the test. The premises are clean. So I felt quickly in confident in this clinic. I recommend it. It is very professionnal.

I returned to Nord for a second knee replacement at beginning of October, having had the first one in early 2019. There was no contest in choice as Nord truly offers a five star experience from enquiry to return home and I wanted the same experience again! My contact was Justina, who has been outstanding and organised everything for me and answered all questions very quickly. My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Kaunas pre op which was excellent, very central and convenient to shops and cafes etc. I was transported to the clinic day after arrival for blood tests, x rays and to pay and then the following morning I was again collected and taken to my room in the clinic. The anesthetist came to see me, I had a canula and a preop injection and then I walked across the corridor straight into the theatre. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and I just remember an ice cold spray on my back then next thing I was waking up! I was wheeled back to room to await feeling in feet. The two days in clinic you are well looked after, pain is controlled and you are up on your feet almost straightaway. Professor Taraservicius, surgeon, came to see me, as he did last time, and then we were transported to UPA Medical Spa. Hubby met me at clinic to be transported with me. UPA is amazing. On arrival you see the Dr and are given a programme of tailor made treatments to promote your recovery. Polar light therapy, cryotherapy, physio, full back massage. There is a nurse on duty 24/7 and Dr on call. All meals are included, there is a fridge and kettle in your room, adjustable hospital beds etc. UPA offers a full range of relaxing treatments (pay extra) at very reasonable rates and I can recommend the 60min brightening facial! I did find this second op more painful to recover from than the first. This is likely to be due to the fact nerves and tendons are not cut now. Recovery is predicted to be faster, but be prepared for discomfort. Ask for pain relief, sleeping tablets ice packs etc. UPA will remove the staples at day 12 if your wound is ready or you can buy a staple remover to take back home. I am now home at day 19 and my wound has almost healed already! The pain in the knee eases with doing the physio exercises and your best friend is ice! I bought ice packs from Amazon for return home. I am still using 2 crutches, and I am still feeling tired but I am so grateful to have been able to return to this centre of excellence and have no hesitation in recommending Nordorthopaedics clinic to anyone!

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.

Very responsive and fast, great English speaking and helpful throughout. Thank you great surgeon introduction.
