Orthopedic Consultation

Specialist orthopedic consultation covering joint pain, degenerative conditions, post-injury assessment, and surgical candidacy evaluation. Carolina Medical Center's orthopedic team includes over 60 specialists with expertise spanning hip, knee, shoulder, hand, foot, and spine conditions. Available at both Warsaw locations.

An orthopedic consultation at Carolina Medical Center draws on one of the largest concentrations of orthopedic sub-specialists in Poland. The hospital's team of over 60 physicians covers the full anatomical range — hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, and spine — with many surgeons holding sub-specialty expertise refined through international fellowships and thousands of procedures. The consultation follows a structured format: detailed clinical history, focused physical examination, review of any existing imaging, and formulation of a treatment plan. For patients presenting with imaging from abroad, the hospital accepts DICOM files sent in advance to allow the treating physician to review studies before the appointment. Common consultation indications include joint pain (osteoarthritis, rheumatic conditions), sports injuries, post-traumatic conditions, back and neck pain, and evaluation for joint replacement or arthroscopic surgery. The hospital performs approximately 2,000 surgical procedures annually, giving its consultants current, high-volume operative experience that informs their clinical recommendations. For international patients, Carolina Medical Center's dedicated coordination team handles appointment scheduling, interpreter arrangement (English and Russian), and post-consultation logistics. If surgery is recommended, the coordinator provides a detailed cost estimate, expected hospital stay duration, and proposed timeline within two business days of the initial consultation.
