Jan Krijnen – Dublin – Hip Replacement

Jan from Dublin after his hip replacement said, “Everything has been a very positive experience, and I am so looking forward to getting back in the saddle as they say!” Jan who works in construction restoration, had been in pain for two years and an x-ray showed his hip was damaged. Facing a long surgery wait time and the high cost of private surgery, he continued working in pain. “That was when a client’s neighbour told me about Healthcare Abroad.”
“I thought it was a spoof at first, then the Credit Union was on board, and planning was underway I knew I was in good hands. When I arrived, Sean looked after me so well. I felt so well cared for by Dr. Jordy and his team at the hospital without the hustle and bustle that I was used to back home. Jenna, who has been doing my physio, has been great.”
“Thanks to everyone at Healthcare Abroad, I can look forward to getting back to work pain-free of course, but more than anything, my long Sunday drives through the Cork countryside and meeting up with friends.”

    “I traveled alone and thought it would be daunting, but I was never on my own. The drivers, hospital staff, and even the hotel team were amazing. They looked after me every step of the way, even checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. Ekaterina is amazing, she even arranged for me to get my nails fixed after surgery—that’s the level of care they provide!”

    "Nobody wants an operation, but this is the way to go if you need one. The care has been brilliant, and the physiotherapy is very advanced. All along, the focus has been on a pain-free treatment, and I know that soon, I will be able to get back to doing lots of walking once again and travelling with my husband."

    "I wish my GP had told me about Healthcare Abroad sooner. I’ll be telling others, especially those on waiting lists. More people need to know about this option, as it’s not widely shared by GPs."
