Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament
„On the recommendation of a friend, ever since my knee injury last year in the June, I put myself in the hands of the St. Catherine team, until today when the surgery itself was done. The nurses and doctors were extremely kind, approachable and professional, providing me with a sense of security and support during the entire process. All my doubts were solved constructively and I also received useful guidelines for both - the operation and the recovery, which I will continue at the same time in St. Catherine. The organization and arrangements went without any problems and the room I stayed in was spacious, comfortable and impeccably clean. Medical aids were provided to me on time, making the process even easier. Thanks to all the employees of St. Catherine Hospital and another big thanks to doc. Jeleč on his approach and professionalism, both around me and around other patients. We will surely see each other again, already from Monday for physical therapy and in the future also for other examinations and tests."

Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with meniscal suture
"To begin with, I am very happy that I had surgery here at St. Catherine Specialty Hospital. At the same time, I would like to thank my doctor and operator, Assoc. Prof. Damir Hudetz, M.D., Ph.D., Orthopedic Surgeon, who successfully performed my knee surgery, as well as to the entire medical staff who took very good care of me. This individual approach to each patient is immediately visible, which needs to be specifically emphasized. The whole Hospital is wonderful. I didn't have feeling like I was in a hospital at all – that's how nice was for me to have surgery and recovery here in St. Catherine. From beginning to end, everything went great and in the best order. Sincere recommendations to everyone for St. Catherine Specialty Hospital.“

Knee Arthroscopy
„The entire service was super professional, from the agreement regarding the procedure to the admission to the hospital, preparation for the procedure, the operation itself and after. I was surprised that we started rehabilitation right away, which is not the case in other hospitals and it moves quite late and slowly after the procedure, which unfortunately I know from personal experience. Dr.. Jeleč was great, in addition to being extremely professional, he also has a relaxed approach, which makes the patients relax. After the procedure itself, I feel great and I am satisfied with the procedure and instructions, as well as the help with further recovery. For every recommendation."
