John Bennett – Tipperary – Gall Bladder Removal Surgery

Seamless efficiency from start to finish

Seamless efficiency from start to finish was how John Bennett, the CEO of a non-profit organization from Tipperary, summed up his recent experience with Healthcare Abroad.

John found out he needed to have his gall bladder removed in January and was facing at least a one-year wait in Ireland. Not wanting to wait, he researched his options and found Healthcare Abroad. A phone call to us led to his operation being completed in Spain in a month. “Everyone rallied around, and I was made to feel taken care of during a very vulnerable time,” according to John. “From doing all of the paperwork and logistics to my HCB Hospital and hotel stay, everyone was amazing, and I felt totally looked after even though I was on my own.” Not only did he not have to endure a year-long wait for his procedure, but his expectations were exceeded. “Everyone from the nurses, anesthesiologist, to the surgeon set me at ease right away, and from the time I landed in Spain through my recovery, Healthcare Abroad staff provided concierge service well above any other service out there, and I would highly recommend them for anyone facing long surgery wait times.” 🏥☀️⭐️

    “I was in so much pain I couldn’t sleep or bend my knee and being self-employed, I needed to get fixed. A visit to A&E didn’t work out so I googled knee replacement and Healthcare Abroad came up. I rang Chris on a Sunday night in extreme pain and was so relieved when he picked up.”

    My GP was delighted with my surgery and blown away by my recovery. I was back doing activities fairly quickly after getting home. My physio was very impressed - getting so many physio sessions in Denia straight after surgery made the difference.

    By the Friday I was down to using one crutch and it felt brilliant,” he recalls. “Eleven days after the operation I didn't need my crutch for short distance walking and only required one crutch for long distance walking. Most importantly, I felt no pain for the first time in six years.
