Hip Replacement Europe

My wife went to the Vita hospital for a full knee replacement. The experience was professional and caring. The surgical skill of Dr Chenkov was second to none. The hospital team worked together well. Our English-speaking liaison Kaloyan was outstanding. Every email and phone call was responded to and acted upon immediately and his checking on my wife was appreciated. Overall a very professional hospital in Sofia Bulgaria. We wouldn't hesitate to use Vita Hospital again if needed. P and J Cartwright

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 had a right hip replacement with Mr Lewis on the 21st of December 2022. My Surgery was a Complete Success. From the beginning, I felt safe and confident that I had chosen the right Surgeon. All of my pain has gone completely. A good friend recommended Mr Lewis to me and it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I felt Mr Lewis really cared and was always contactable if I needed anything.

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.
