Rotator Cuff Repair Worldwide

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 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.

To date my experience with Orthopaedic Gelenk-Klinik has been very good. I am living in Serbia where I have been unable to get trustworthy treatment options for my hallux valgus. I then reached out to the Gelenk-Klinik asking if it could provide me with a medical opinion online. Very quickly, I got a positive response from Eri Sugiyama with whom I exchanged a few emails, never waiting for more than an overnight for a response. She asked for x-rays which I forwarded along with other information. The next working day, Eri Sugiyama shared with me Dr. Schneider's opinion. I am extremely grateful for the time Gelenk-Klinik has taken to consider my case and provide me a medical opinion -which it did free of charge, this meant a lot to me as I do not have medical coverage other than for the Serbian public healthcare system -but more significantly this is not only a graceful gesture, it also gives the impression that the staff may actually care about helping a person in need, rather than take every opportunity to grasp money from a patient. It has been an uplifting experience. I hope to communicate further with the Gelenk-Klinik. I remain grateful for the assistance I have been recently provided.
