Bunion Surgery Kaunas

I went to Poland (Katowice) to have hip surgery at the Sanvimed Clinic. Their policy is to keep you in the clinic for two weeks, with total care post-operatively. You are met at the airport by taxi and returned there by taxi. Nurses look after you and administer painkillers etc. Most of the staff speak English adequately and where not, a translator is available. Excellent. All this cost me £7,500.

Good customer service. Easy to find for foreigners and not too expensive! I had a checkup, cavity fill with a local anesthetic, and an x-ray, all under an hour.

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.
