Jennifer Pierce – Cork – Knee Replacement

Jennifer Pierce, from Cork, underwent knee replacement surgery in Denia, Spain, with Healthcare Abroad last April. Delighted with her experience, she returned the following month for weight loss surgery, opting for a gastric bypass.
After hearing about Healthcare Abroad on her local radio station, Jennifer appreciated the thorough care provided by the team, including consultations with a psychologist and dietitian. Dr. Alberola performed the surgery at HCB Denia Hospital, where Jennifer praised the excellent aftercare and support from the carer team.
Jennifer encourages others considering weight loss surgery to choose Healthcare Abroad for their expertise and paperwork assistance.
Overall, Jennifer describes the private hospital in Spain as a first-class health system and encourages others in pain in Ireland to follow her path and return to a full and pain-free life.

    “The physio is on another level - two sessions a day, and I’m collected and brought to and from the clinic. It’s intense, but every day I feel stronger. At home, I’d be struggling to even find a physio, let alone get there without being able to drive after surgery."
