Jack O’Grady – Cork – Knee Reconstruction

“I Would 100% Recommend Healthcare Abroad for Sports Surgeries”

Jack O’Grady from Cork’s Comprehensive ACL Treatment with Healthcare Abroad

A Sudden Injury That Changed Everything

“I turned quickly while I was playing football, and my knee popped. I couldn’t walk on it; I went to get an MRI, and it wasn’t good news. I had a complete ACL tear and a grade 2 MCL tear. The specialist told me I would need reconstruction surgery if I wanted to get back playing.”

A Seamless Process with Healthcare Abroad

“I got in touch with Healthcare Abroad, and from the very first call, the team explained everything clearly. All I had to do was choose a date and book my flights. It was honestly such an easy process. Two weeks after surgery, I was off the crutches, and I’m back to work now and everything—so that says it all, really.”

From Ireland to Alicante – A Stress-Free Journey

“When I arrived in Spain for my ACL surgery, I was picked up straight from the airport and taken to my hotel by Scott. No stress, no hassle—just a smooth transfer, which made the whole experience even easier. Scott was brilliant, he also took me to my appointments at the hospital. Thanks for that, Scott!”

First-Class Care & Support

“I had my surgery in Alicante, and it was done by Dr. Ferragut. He was top-notch, as was the hospital. The physio sessions made such a difference as well—you could see the progress every day.”

“The team at Healthcare Abroad went above and beyond. They sorted so much—my hospital appointments, transfers, even little things like helping with prescriptions. It was great to have that support, especially when you’re in another country.”

“I was dropped back to the airport when it was time to leave, and now, just weeks after surgery, I’m on the road to recovery. The care I received was unreal, and I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.”

Looking Forward to Playing Again

“I like playing football, so tearing my ACL was a big setback. Thanks to Healthcare Abroad, I’m now looking forward to getting back on the pitch. The whole process was quick and hassle-free, which is exactly what I needed.”

“I would advise anyone in need of surgery and stuck on long wait lists here in Ireland to contact Healthcare Abroad immediately. They make the whole process easy, and the level of care is outstanding.”
