Trpimir Vrdoljak, M.D.

"Based on the recommendation of close friends, I decided to undergo a total hip replacement using the direct anterior approach at St. Catherine Specialty Hospital. The surgery was performed by an outstanding orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Vrdoljak, who was extremely kind, approachable, and professional from the very first contact. The operation went excellently, and already 48 hours after the procedure I feel great, with minimal pain in my hip. I am very pleased to highly recommend Dr. Vrdoljak, as well as the entire St. Catherine Hospital, to anyone seeking high-quality and safe medical care. I am especially impressed by the level of cleanliness in the hospital, as well as the kindness and approachability of the medical staff."

„My experience at St. Catherine Specialty Hospital was extremely positive and exceeded all my expectations. I had a shorter leg my entire life, and over time my hip deteriorated significantly, which greatly affected my daily routine and overall quality of life. On the recommendation of a close friend, I decided to contact St. Catherine Hospital, and now it has turned out that it was the right decision. I was operated on by the excellent Dr. Trpimir Vrdoljak, Orthopedic Surgeon, who from the very beginning left an impression of trust, expertise and professionalism. The hip surgery was highly successful, I was on my feet the very next day, and during my three-night stay in the hospital, I felt completely safe and taken care of. The entire staff was exceptionally kind, approachable, and always ready to help. Their attitude toward patients, attentive care, and professional approach greatly eased my first days after surgery. My left leg is no longer shorter and I have no pain in my left hip. Also, I will continue my recovery at St. Catherine's, where I will soon start post-operative rehabilitation. Therefore, I would wholeheartedly recommend that anyone facing similar difficulties place their trust in St. Catherine Specialty Hospital -  a place where Hospital is written with a capital letter.
