“The care and treatment I received from the NORD was first class. I would recommend this orthopaedic service to anyone and rate it as excellent in every area. Their team (logistics, administration, nursing, Physiotherapy, and Surgeons) provide an end-to-end service that supports you 100% all of the time. Every time I needed to go to an appointment transport was there on time, everyone is able to speak English to a high standard (much to my embarrassment of the few words I can speak in Lithuanian!), the staff made you feel welcome and looked after, but most importantly my surgeon Dr Valdemar Loiba is one of the top consultants in his field.
I had a problem with my left hip about 2 years ago and was eventually diagnosed with FAI (hip impingement). As I am chartered Physiotherapist myself, I tried in vain to treat the problem using exercise therapy and also manual physiotherapy where I was supported by a very experienced physiotherapy colleague. Unfortunately, this conservative approach did not work and I eventually was referred via my GP to a consultant who diagnosed FAI. Much to my distress I then found out that my CCG in England would not fund any treatment (note surgery for FAI in England is a postcode lottery with some areas providing support and others who will not). As my hip was getting more and more painful, I was no longer able to do my job I therefore started to research where I could get treatment.
Having looked at many different reviews on the internet I was lucky to find the NORD clinic. Its reviews are excellent and I can now from experience fully confirm that this is 100% the case. During my research it was clear that the best outcomes from surgery for FAI happen when an experienced surgeon in the filed does the operation. This was one of the main reasons I chose the NORD as they do this operation regularly and therefore have a high level of expertise in this area.
I am now at the time of writing 6 days post op and my pain levels are much lower than they were before surgery. I have started my rehab program and hope to make a full recovery. It this is not the case and I need a THR in the future (and I really hope this is not the case) I will be coming back to the NORD as it provides an OUTSTANDING orthopaedic service!“
