Gary’s Meniscus Operation at Vithas Valencia Turia Hospital
“I Didn’t Want to Wait Years—I Wanted My Life Back”
Gary from Balbriggan, North County Dublin tore his meniscus while ballroom dancing with his wife—something they both love doing together. “I’ve got seven kids, an active lifestyle, and I just didn’t want to spend years waiting for treatment.”
“My wife and I have both had serious health challenges in the past—she’s a cancer survivor—and with the cost of private health insurance being out of reach, Healthcare Abroad has been a saving grace.”
In and Out in Five Days
“I flew over to Valencia on Sunday, had all my pre-ops on Monday, surgery with Dr. Ferragut at Vithas Valencia Turia on Tuesday morning, and I was discharged the very next day. I’m doing physio and I’ll be home on Friday—less than a week from start to finish.”
“The hospital is brand new, spotless, and the care was excellent. The whole process was seamless. Everything was organised—from paperwork to transfers—by the brilliant team at Healthcare Abroad. All of the Healthcare Abroad team I’ve met at Valencia- Kelsey, Gráinne, Amy, John, Kevin have all been helpful.”
It’s Not Just Surgery—It’s a Break for Both of You
“My wife didn’t just sit around worrying—she met other companions, went shopping, out for dinner, and even had a few drinks with the ladies. Valencia is a stunning city, and this whole experience felt more like a city break than a medical trip.”
“At this stage of my life, I know what it’s like to be in regular pain and how that negatively impacts your daily life, that’s why I chose not to wait. I would have no hesitation in recommending this option to anyone considering it.”
