Rotator Cuff Repair Europe

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 have been so pleased to become one of Caroline Morrish's patients. She has set me on the right road to recovery. She came again today and I have booked a further appointment for 7th December.

I did work at the hospital when I was younger building the bungalows and maintenance. I never thought I would end up using the hospital, but I must say the staff and Doctors are amazing. I only wish I was in a position to get private insurance as that is the only hospital I would use if I had the choice.

I had a hip replacement surgery done by Dr Fahri at Istanbul. I was scared and worried to have the operation, however, life was getting difficult each day so I had no choice. I can say that the hardest part was to make the decision. The process was much smoother than I expected. Dr Fahri is a great surgeon with outstanding experience and his confidence made me feel I am in good hands the moment I met him. He performed the surgery in a great hospital for a reasonable price. Just 1 day after the surgery he made me walk and my hip was feeling much better. The pain was almost gone when I was resting. I was shocked to feel the benefits so fast. Dr Fahri helped us with the physical therapy too, and I was able to get back home in 7 days. He was very caring and helpful from the moment we met him until we left. He explained everything in detail, answered all our questions, visited us regularly in the hospital and his team made sure all our needs were met. I wish I wasn’t scared of the operation for so long, it really changed my life. I waited for months because of my worries, but apparently, there was nothing to be afraid of and I wish I had the surgery when I was first diagnosed. No need to live with the pain, Dr Fahri can give you a new life where you can get around with no pain and worries!

I had COPD. I went to Egemed Hospital for balloon therapy. A very clean hospital. Thank you very much for all the doctors. I'm very good right now.
