Hip Replacement Lithuania

I live in Canada and had been suffering from osteoarthritis in my left shoulder for a number of years. After trying various types of alternate solutions such as physiotherapy, visco-supplementation and cortisone injections, the conclusion was reached with the doctors involved that a full shoulder replacement surgery was the best, if not the only, solution to regain life quality moving forward. I got referred to an orthopedic surgeon, but was not getting any call back, and was unable to find out when I could possibly get that call, let alone go through the surgery. I began to search on the Web for organizations providing private medical services abroad. There are many out there, advertising services in many different countries. I reached out to several of them through their sites. Wellness Travels was the only one which, in my opinion, demonstrated a serious and human approach. Even though the clinic is located in a fairly remote country (Lithuania), this was not a deterrent since I exchanged daily for several weeks with a Lithuanian contact in Canada. All my questions and concerns were addressed throughout those exchanges. In addition, I had consultations with a very experienced Canadian based orthopedic surgeon, who performed thousands of surgeries throughout his career, and took the time to travel to the clinic, meet the surgeons and inspect the facilities thoroughly. He went to the extent of climbing up to the roof to verify the ventilation systems. With the coordinator we scheduled a date for the surgery and determined the best travel plans. When I finally got there, the clinic was exactly as what I saw on their website and what the doctor told me: immaculate and as modern as any other world class facility. From a pricing perspective, the cost was very reasonable, compared to the those advertised by the other sites. The surgery and rehab services were outstanding at every level. The surgeon even took the time to visit me every day during my stay to follow up on my progress. The physiotherapist showed up even on weekends to work with me and the other foreign patients. Surgery such as the one I got is a major undertaking, and an even more daunting one when travelling far from home away from family and friends. I took the risk to go for it, and it was worthwhile! In general, people who know me would confirm that I am a very demanding customer. So it is quite a leap for me to totally recommend without hesitation Wellness Travels to anyone in need of orthopaedic surgery.

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.

For those in a hurry: If you are contemplating orthopaedic surgery, I would recommend going HERE - no matter where you are from in the world. Why: 1. From the very first contact, they will be responsive, transparent, accurate, and personalized. 2. There are no 'hidden costs'. Everything is included in the quote you will receive. The quote will likely be lower than you would pay anywhere else (because they have this down to a science). They will be able to get you in quickly compared to the LONG waiting times in some countries. 3. The clinic is spotless and has top-of-the-line equipment. 4. The medical staff is professional, friendly, and well-trained. 5. The surgeons are extremely specialized and highly qualified. If you need ankle surgery (like I did), your surgeon will be an ankle specialist, not someone who does hips, knees, or shoulders. They each have their own specialty and they are tops in their field. 6. You will have a coordinator who will be your contact person from the day you first make contact until your healing is complete. You will always be able to communicate with a human' - and in this case, it will be a human who is efficient, bilingual, and a consummate 'fixer'. If you have a question, it will be answered. If you have a problem, it will be solved. If you need anything at all, it will be arranged. 7. Your transportation to and from the airport, the clinic, the hotel or apartment, physiotherapy, etc., will be handled by the logistics team. They will meet you inside the airport when you arrive, holding a "NORD Orthopaedics" sign (you won't miss them), assist you with your luggage, and get you where you need to go, whether that is your hotel, the apartments rented by NORD (which, incidentally, have daily medical assistance and are fully fitted for people who are undergoing orthopaedic surgery). You will receive a message to give you time to be ready for pick-up when you have an appointment. They are usually like clockwork. The only time there is a glitch is when another patient isn't ready to go, and the driver must wait. 8. The physiotherapy is second to none and services the national basketball team. This is the national sport in Lithuania, so that speaks volumes. 9. Instructions for pre-and post-surgical care are thorough and explicit in layman's terms. No confusing mumbo-jumbo. 10. The food is really good!!! I could probably go on with this list, but suffice it to say, I was more than satisfied with the professionalism, the quality of care, and the rest of my experience with this company, and would highly recommend them to anyone who asks. If I ever have another orthopaedic issue, I would not hesitate to come back to NORD. It would be my first choice.

I had a tummy tuck, lipo and muscle work done in this clinic in July 2018. The clinic is very professional, I was really impressed with the facilities and staff they were all so friendly which put me at ease straight away. I am so happy with the results, although I am returning for revision to remove a small bulge/fat just over the scare. My belly button looks great and the scar has healed beautifully. I would highly recommend this clinic as it's half the price of any clinic in Ireland. I had pre and post op appointments in Dublin Treated by: Dr Donatas Samsanavicius.

I would 100% recommend B&W Medica. It's very professional, clean and the staff are friendly. The surgeons and anaesthetist are great too, couldn't have asked for better. I've had full muscle repairs and liposuction in two places 6 weeks ago. The results are already looking brilliant, the scar is so well done. When it heals you won't even notice, it is such a clean cut. I would give this clinic 10 out of 10. Fantastic, thank you B&W Medica.
