1. Booking Your Appointment
You contact the Hospital by phone, WhatsApp, or website form.
The team helps you book a suitable time and asks for basic details about your problem.
2. First Consultation
At your visit, Dr. Tomislav listens to your symptoms carefully.
You will usually be asked:
- Where is the pain?
- When did it start?
- Was there an injury?
- What movements make it worse?
- Have you had any previous treatment or scans?
3. Clinical Assessment
This is the most important part of the visit.
The doctor examines the affected area and checks:
- Pain location
- Swelling
- Joint movement
- Stability
- Strength
- Walking or sports function
4. Imaging, If Needed
Sometimes examination is enough.
If more detail is needed, imaging may be requested, such as:
- X-ray for bones, alignment, or arthritis
- MRI for ligaments, meniscus, cartilage, tendons, or muscle injuries
- Ultrasound for selected soft tissue problems
- CT scan in special cases, especially complex bone issues
5. Diagnosis Explained Clearly
Once the assessment is complete, the doctor explains:
- What the problem is
- How serious it is
- Whether surgery is needed or not
- What treatment options are best for you
6. Treatment Plan
Treatment depends on the condition. It may include:
- Rest and activity modification
- Medication for pain or inflammation
- Brace or support
- Physiotherapy / rehabilitation

- Surgery, if needed
7. Follow-Up
You may need a follow-up visit to:
