Knee Replacement Worldwide

I've had a pacemaker installed on a hospital in South America, when I needed a check-up, I chose Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul. It was a very good choice for me. The process was very efficient and I was in the hands of very competent people. That the have a person to take care of foreign patients, is a brilliant idea. And Mr. Alisher Durdyyev was excellent. I was happy about everything I encountered here, and I'll be back in December.

Great all round services. Excellent location is a good and clean and good conversation.

I' a proud Canadian. Was so proud of our Healthcare system up until 6 or so years ago. I needed my Right hip replaced. I was put off by multiple useless meet n greets. Referrals and clinics decide how bad my pain is by people that are so healthy they could never understand the daily pain I live with. After my 2nd cortisone shot wore off, I was told more waiting for a surgeon and 1.5 wait for surgery. My parents and I decided to search for the evil truth. Private surgery. In Canada privates want 30k plus. I found online Nord Clinic. Emailed. Read reviews. Researched the doctors. Called and contacted prevous patients. I booked through Leva, my helpful wonderful contact. I got costs sent a few tests and xrays. Set my surgery date Dec 1 2022. Booked return flights, from Edmonton to Vilnius with a couple stops. Get Medical Assistance 100%. My wife and I were very concerned , esp after being treated in Canada like we don't matter. Well rest assured, Nord Clinic is the Gold standard to which all should be measured. We arrived, stayed a night in Airport Hotel. Picked up next morning, by English-speaking driver. Drove us to Kaunus where the clinic is. Walked into the Clinic nervous and wondered what was i thinking. Lol well, the staff at the desk were warm and friendly and fast. Within a few minutes I had given blood, been xrayed and shown my medical paperwork. I paid and was told tomorrow 8 am I will be picked up for Surgery & informed my wife she couldn't visit until day after surgery. Next morning, I was picked up by the kindest young driver. Delivered to the clinic. Minutes, yes minutes later I was in my room getting my surgery gown on. Put my things away. Visits from nurses, inserted my wrist port. Anesthesiologist came by seconds later and my Surgeon. Told me the plan and Implant and answered my questions. 15 minutes later, wheeled into the operating room, felt a coldness on my back. I awoke seemed like an hour later, clear and bright. I have had at least 10-15? surgeries in my life and never beeen so clear after. As the spinal wore off, the nurse checked my Bp and heart rate. Once my feet had complete feeling about 2 hours or so. The nurse came in and got me walking????. It was Great!! I was walking every few hours. I was well fed and pain was managed without me being stoned and groggy! No Opioids! The next day, my wife was in shock I was walking so well! I was then discharged from the clinic to Upa spa & Rehab. Getting in and out of the transport van was a bit nerve rattling. But I was fine. ( if each vehicle had the 4” foam cushions for each client, would make things way easier) Up set up a faced paced rehab. Multiple different treatments that my wife told me to be quiet and go with it. She was right! There were way more ups than downs. By the time we were leaving we were confident in my abilities to get on the planes. Even drove through a snow storm to the airport, but looked after. All I can say is, the Nord Clinic is the best! I recommend 100% without any doubts or hesitation. The language was never a barrier. Their English is solid. The only thing we wished for was better mattress at the Spa and time to upgrade to mesh network internet. But we managed just fine. The Cost was half, the value was twice that of the canadian privates! If your thinking Mexico, or the Us. Check out Lithuania first. Go to Lithuania and see the Nord Clinic. The reviews and youtube videos are for real!

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.

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