I went to Nordorthopaedics Clinic in Kaunas, Lithuania for an arthroscopic meniscal knee repair. I was doing research online for alternatives and their name kept coming up. I chose to use them because of the extremely long public waiting lists in Ireland and high costs to go privately. I made first contact early December 2024. Their main administrator Neringa, got back to me immediately and explained how the system worked. I cannot express how wonderful this organisation is to deal with. I was operated beginning of Feb 2025 about a 8 weeks after my first enquiry! I am female and
travelled to Kaunas alone and not once did I experience anxiety during this trip. All collections and drop offs from airport, to clinic, to hotel were taken care of by their logistics team. A prompt whatsapp message confirmed these pick up times everyday. The clinic was spotless and modern. The admin staff assisted you with documents etc. Pre-ops were thorough, with bloods, ecg and xrays taken the day before scheduled surgery. My surgeon Ritaurus Rakauskas was so lovely and meticulously explained my procedure, with a visit the next day to go through the op step by step and advice for returning to work and activity when home. Brilliant Physio therapist Laimonas guided me through physio exercise in their physio room. Meds, crutches, icepacks were all supplied by the clinic. Anything Nord said they would do was done and more. I never had to worry once about mundane form filling, collecting meds etc. because it was all done for me. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. I would highly recommend Nord for any ortho procedure. Their business model is to be envied. Kaunas is also a very pretty town, with plenty of gorgeous bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants and from a personal point of view, I felt very safe there. I have never come across such an efficient organisation in my life!!
