“For the past eight years, I struggled with pain, never realizing it was my hip. When I saw my GP last September, I was told I needed a hip replacement. Without private health insurance, I was placed on the public waiting list. It was almost a year before I got a call for an assessment. The service there was great, but I heard many people had to wait another two to three years for the operation. I couldn’t wait that long.”
“Delaying the surgery would lead to compensation, I would need to get surgery on my other hip and eventually my knee because of waiting so long. That meant my golfing days would be over. I love golf, it’s my thing, and I didn’t want to lose it.”
“Then, someone I know who works at a medical centre told me about a client who had just got a hip replacement in Spain – and they were ecstatic about it. I started looking into it and found Healthcare Abroad. When I called, I spoke to Sorcha, and there was no messing around – she laid everything out straight, no sales pitch, just the facts.”
“I was skeptical at first, so I investigated the Cross Border Directive. When I saw it was legitimate, I thought, why wouldn’t the rest of this be legitimate? From that moment on, everything fell into place.”
“From the moment I arrived in Spain, everything was seamless. No years of waiting. I had my consultation on Monday, surgery on Tuesday, recovery in the hospital until Friday, then physiotherapy for a week. The surgeon explained everything clearly, and the whole process was smooth.”
If a treatment is publicly available in Ireland, it can be accessed with Healthcare Abroad. We are Ireland’s leading Cross Border Treatment Facilitators.

Read Their StoryBy the Friday I was down to using one crutch and it felt brilliant,” he recalls. “Eleven days after the operation I didn't need my crutch for short distance walking and only required one crutch for long distance walking. Most importantly, I felt no pain for the first time in six years.

I still haven’t heard anything more than a year later. “A friend of my mum’s had been to Spain with Healthcare Abroad and I began looking into it and sent an email. I got a call back and an apology as it took 2 weeks to get a response and I just laughed because
Read Their Story“This is my second time in Spain. Dr Lopez did my first hip replacement in March; this time Dr Jordy carried out the operation. “The level of service provided by Healthcare Abroad is absolutely exceptional; from the first call way back in February right through until now – a second hip replaced and 10 more amazing physio sessions later.
Read Their Story“Physio here was a game-changer. In Ireland, physio felt rushed and painful. But in Spain, it was more advanced and tailored. The approach was gentle and effective—no pain barriers, just steady progress. A week after surgery, I was walking without crutches, something I couldn’t even imagine after my previous operations.”
