John Bennett’s Experience with Healthcare Abroad

A Swift Solution to Gallbladder Surgery


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.

Facing Long Wait Times in Ireland


John found out he needed to have his gallbladder 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.

Personalized Care and Support


“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.”

Exceeding Expectations


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.” 🏥☀️⭐️
