"The longest I ever waited was five minutes, and that was only because the patient before me needed extra time.”

When I was back in my doctor’s surgery a few weeks ago, he said, “You’re the first person I ever heard about Healthcare Abroad from.” He hadn’t even known it was an option — and that was after I’d already had my first hip done with them.
I came out here over two years ago, just as the hospital in Denia had opened. The system, the team, the hospital — it’s absolutely top class. My daughter found out about Healthcare Abroad, and I haven’t looked back since.
This time around, I rang Chris on a Tuesday, and by Saturday, I had my referral, flights, and everything booked. Try doing that in Ireland — I was told it’d be 9 to 12 months just to be seen. That kind of delay just isn’t an option when you want to get back to living.
People don’t realise how real and legitimate this is. You pay for your flights and accommodation, and the HSE reimburses the cost of surgery. It’s simple. No catch.
Both of my surgeries were performed by Dr. Sendra at HCB Denia, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. The hospital is immaculate, the staff are outstanding, and the overall treatment is better than anything I’ve experienced back home.
I’ve just had my second hip replaced, and again — it’s been brilliant. The physio team is unreal, and most patients are flying home with 80–90% mobility. The support, care, and speed — it’s all seamless.
And I’ll be spreading the word when I get home, because Healthcare Abroad gave me my life back — twice.
