From Anxiety to Relief with Fast Mohs Surgery & Skin Graft
Over a year ago, I noticed a small mark on my nose. When I saw a dermatologist back in South Africa, they suspected it was a rare type of skin cancer. That’s when the anxiety kicked in—I knew I needed surgery, but when I started looking at my options in Ireland, I couldn’t find a clear solution.
Graham, originally from South Africa but now living in Dublin, recently underwent Mohs surgery and a skin graft to treat morpheaform basal cell carcinoma—a rare and often difficult-to-diagnose subtype of BCC—with Healthcare Abroad.
Struggling to Find Treatment & Facing Long Waiting Times
Despite having private health insurance in Ireland, I was told I’d have to wait months for an appointment. The only other option was to pay for the procedure out of pocket in the UK or the Netherlands, which would have been extremely expensive. I felt a bit stuck and frustrated, to be honest.
Like most people do, I was looking all over Google for solutions. I contacted Healthcare Abroad and spoke to their team, who immediately put me at ease. Everyone I spoke to was helpful. They explained the entire process and handled all the arrangements for me.
World-Class Treatment & Seamless Care
Within three weeks, I was in Denia, Spain, at a top private hospital, undergoing my Mohs surgery and skin graft. I was relieved to know I was in expert hands.
The standard of care was outstanding—I had a private room, one-on-one attention from medical staff, and the surgeon really knew what they were doing. Everything was arranged for me, from airport transfers to hospital appointments and follow-ups.

A Stress-Free Recovery
After my surgery, I was able to recover in comfort at a hotel just minutes from the hospital. I’ve been avoiding the direct sunshine, but the warmer temperatures have been really helpful for my recovery. Follow-up appointments were easy, and I had complete peace of mind knowing everything was professionally handled.
Even with private health insurance, I would have had to wait months for surgery in Ireland. Instead, I received expert treatment in just 3 weeks.
The entire experience was stress-free, seamless, and high quality. I can’t recommend Healthcare Abroad enough to anyone waiting for essential dermatology or plastic surgery. If you need urgent medical care, don’t wait.
