Patricia Kelly – Sligo – Hip Replacement

Meet Patricia Kelly, from Sligo.
Patricia’s journey with hip issues began in 2010, gradually worsening over the years. As a passionate ballroom dancer, her hip problems became increasingly debilitating, restricting her and no longer allowing her to dance freely. Desperate for relief, Patricia discovered Healthcare Abroad and wasted no time reaching out for help. Within days, she found herself in Spain undergoing hip replacement surgery with one of our expert doctors. However, post-surgery, Patricia experienced a health scare that led to the discovery of a 90% blocked artery.
Thanks to the swift action and expert care at Healthcare Abroad, she received two stents to help with the issues.
Now, in recovery and reflecting on her experience, Patricia is grateful for the timely intervention that likely saved her life.
With renewed health and mobility, she’s eager to return to her beloved ballroom dancing. Patricia’s story is a testament to the importance of seeking help early and the life-changing impact of Healthcare Abroad.
We are so happy she is doing so well.

    “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!”

    “I was told I would have to wait THREE years in Ireland to see a consultant and I might have to wait another FIVE years. That would have been a wait of 8 years – I called Healthcare Abroad and was sorted in just 8 weeks.

    “This is my second time in Spain. Dr Lopez did my first hip replacement in March; this time Dr Jordy carried out the operation. “The level of service provided by Healthcare Abroad is absolutely exceptional; from the first call way back in February right through until now – a second hip replaced and 10 more amazing physio sessions later.
