“It’s a No-Brainer” – Mark’s Knee Surgery Journey in Spain

From Constant Pain to Getting Back on My Feet

“I’m a postman so I’m on my feet all day—walking, carrying heavy parcels. My knee pain had gotten so bad over the last year and a half that I couldn’t keep up with work or play with my kids. Then my wife saw something online about Healthcare Abroad, and she rang straight away. A week later, I was on a plane.”

Fast, Professional and Stress-Free

“From the moment I landed, everything ran like clockwork. Someone picked me up at the airport, brought me to appointments—it was all looked after. I had scans, met the surgeon, and had my procedure within days. I didn’t even need a full knee replacement—just an arthroscopy to repair a torn meniscus.
Dr. Sendra told me I’ll get another 5–6 years out of this knee before anything major is needed. That was music to my ears.”

Back to Life with My Family

“I have a 10-year-old who’s just joined the GAA. When I’m recovered I can finally be there with her, running around and helping her practice. The physio was top class – honestly the setup was better than anything I’ve ever seen.”

Don’t Wait Around

“If you’re hesitating—don’t. This is a no-brainer really. The experience was smooth from start to finish. I’ll be back before Christmas to get the other knee done.”
