About the clinic
An orthopaedist consultation at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, provides a professional assessment for bone and joint conditions. This diagnostic meeting allows a surgeon to review your symptoms and plan the next steps. The hospital is the only facility in the Baltic States to hold JCI accreditation, which confirms it meets international safety standards for patient care.
The consultation takes place with an orthopaedic surgeon, known locally as a gydytojas ortopedas traumatologas. During the visit, the specialist evaluates the musculoskeletal system to determine the cause of pain or limited mobility. Patients receive a clear explanation of their diagnosis and a discussion of potential non-surgical or surgical pathways. These meetings occur both for initial diagnosis and to monitor progress after a procedure.
Diagnostic capabilities and setting
- On-site imaging. The hospital uses 1.5T and 3T MRI scanners, CT scans, and X-rays to support the doctor's findings.
- In-house laboratory. All necessary blood tests or fluid analyses are performed within the clinic for faster results.
- Multiple locations. Consultations are available at the main center in Vilnius and at the clinic in Utena.
- Language support. International patients work with an English-speaking coordinator who manages schedules and logistics.
- Integrated care. The hospital features an on-site rehabilitation center to support long-term recovery plans.
The orthopaedics-traumatology center is located at Račių g. 1 in Vilnius. This setting combines expert physical examination with high-resolution imaging in one building. The surgeon reviews any existing medical records and new scans to provide a second opinion or a primary diagnosis. To begin the process, patients may request a consultation through Bookimed.

Ingrid • Total hip replacement (arthroplasty) revision
Oct 21, 2026
Verified review.
The doctor was warm, patient, and explained everything very well
The contact coordinator was excellent. The doctor was warm, patient, and explained everything very well, though the English support in the hospital itself could be improved. I came in for a hip problem, but it turned out well; no surgery was needed, just specific exercises. The final price matched the quote with no unexpected additional expenses. I suppose there is no further contact from the clinic now that I am home. It was a good experience.
Contact coordinator was TOP. Clinic was good and doctor was warm and patient and explained all verywell. Really recommendable
English support in hospital must improve.
Nothing could be better
