“Both of my knees had been bad for a long time. I worked in construction, heavy work, always on my feet. But it got to a stage where I had to stop working—the pain was just too much.”
“I went to my GP, a great man. He sent me for MRIs, scans, and hospital checks. I needed a total knee replacement. I got my left knee done in 2016 after waiting for three years. Even after that, I was still in pain. The idea of going through it again made me put it off for years.”
“By last October, I’d had enough. I said to my doctor, “I can’t deal with this anymore.” Even simple things—walking, driving—were becoming unbearable. He put me back on the waiting list.
Then he asked me: “Have you ever thought about Healthcare Abroad?”
He gave me the number, so I rang. The first person I spoke to was a lovely fella. He explained the whole process, step by step.
“We can get you out there in November.”
I couldn’t believe it. I thought I’d have to wait years—but here they were, offering me a solution in weeks.
I said, “Hang on, let me talk to my wife. Let me think about this.” I didn’t want to be recovering on crutches at Christmas, so I asked if I could go in January.
“No problem,” he said.”
“That’s when I realised just how efficient this whole thing was. I spoke to Paul, Sorcha, and Robert—every single person was brilliant. They helped me with everything, even sorting things with my credit union.”
“I flew out a few weeks ago, and from day one, everything fell into place.The pre-op was seamless—blood tests, ECG, surgeon consultation—all done in a morning. Back home, you’d be lucky to get one of those done in a whole day!”
“It’s not just the surgery—it’s the whole experience. There are so many Irish people here getting hips and knees done. It’s like a little community. Everyone supports each other. It makes the whole process so much easier.”
“And the physio? Intense—but unbelievable. Two sessions a day. Just a few days after surgery, I couldn’t believe how much progress I had made.”
“I’m looking forward to getting my life back. I won’t go back to the heavy graft, but I want to live pain-free. I lost over four stone in the last few years—I joined the gym, I got healthy. But I couldn’t do what I wanted because of my knee. Now, I can finally get back to being active.”
“Three years on a list—or 20 days with Healthcare Abroad? It’s a no-brainer.”
