Ruth Culligan - Dublin - Knee Replacement

“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!”

Ruth Culligan from Palmerstown, Dublin had been struggling with knee pain for over two years.

“At one point last year, it got so bad I had to go to A&E, where they told me I’d need surgery. I was placed on a waiting list for a CAT scan, which they said would take nine months. Even after paying for a private scan, I was told I’d still face another nine months just to see a consultant. When I realized I could be waiting up to six years for a knee replacement, I knew I couldn’t go on like this.”

“I saw their page on Facebook and decided to contact Chris and the team. From the first call, everything was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about a thing—flights, accommodation, hospital appointments, everything was organized. It was a huge relief.”

“The efficiency of the hospital was incredible. My consultation alone included blood tests, an ECG, x-rays, and a meeting with the consultant—all completed in less than two hours. That would never happen at home!”

“I used to love walking, but over the last year, I could barely manage. I’d have to drive to the park just to let the dog out. Even simple things like walking down the stairs or staying in a good mood were impossible when I was in pain 24/7. Now, just a week after surgery, I’m already moving better, and I’m excited to get back to walking and feeling like myself again.”

“If you’re in pain and tired of waiting, don’t hesitate. Healthcare Abroad is incredible. Not only is the surgery fully refunded through the HSE, but the level of care and attention is second to none. It’s the best decision I’ve made.”
