Our Patient Stories

“I was on the waiting list in Ireland for nine months. I was told I’d need to wait nine more months just for a pre-op. I got off the phone in tears. I was at my wit’s end.”

“I used to have to sleep every afternoon because of fatigue. I felt drained. Since the operation, I've been able to stay awake all day, and I’m sleeping much better at night.”

"I came over by myself and I was well looked after. The surgeon came in and checked on me everyday."

"I felt like I was finally being taken seriously." "I can’t wait to run. Just imagining jogging or moving without fearing that my knee might give out—it’s the freedom I’ve been waiting for. I’ve endured so much pain, but now, thanks to the surgery, I’m ready to move forward. This is the start of something new."

"My brother has been on a holiday to Spain and met someone who had been with Healthcare Abroad for surgery, and they were raving about how good the service was."

“I was feeling very frustrated from years of not having enough energy for my young family and a demanding career and facing a possible future of diabetes and heart issues.” A chance encounter with a friend of a friend, who came to her house with her children for Halloween treats “changed her life”.

“I thought it was too good to be true but I checked all the testimonials and just went with it.” Anita says the hospital, the Healthcare Abroad carer-drivers, surgeon Dr van Rijn and the hotel staff were all phenomenal. “I will be back with Healthcare Abroad again to have my other foot fixed,” says Anita.

The pain has gone. I can walk again. I’m in really super form and looking forward to living properly again. “I highly recommend Healthcare Abroad. Chris and his team are fantastic, helpful, caring and so friendly. I will never again sit on a waiting list when I know now all I have to do is lift the phone and have the surgery within weeks in Spain.

I was pain-free from the moment I had the operation. Even when the medication wore off, I’ve had no pain. Dr Morales is a miracle man. I can’t thank him and the Homecare Abroad Hospital team enough, including Dr van Rijn and Dr Henkel.

“My advice to anyone who has had an operation cancelled is to call Healthcare Abroad. They are the best. I actually got a call from a Dublin hospital while I was in Spain asking me if I wanted to stay on the waiting list. Thankfully I don’t.”
