The HCA staff were just outstanding. From airport arrival to hospital & hotel stay the lads were just fantastic. Joe, Kevin & James...unreal guys. I know there were others but those 3 men helped... See more

Health care abroad were excellent from the start to the end of my stay from the pick up and drop off to the airport and all the appointment trips to and from the hospital,they are always there to answer any questions or concerns that you may have,the hospital and its staff were excellent,I would recommend health care abroad to anyone that's waiting on surgery.
Thank you everyone..

I travelled to Madrid, Spain for endometriosis surgery, and it was the best decision I have ever made.
At home in Cork, I would have been waiting months — if not years — for treatment. I contacted Healthcare Abroad, and they had given me a surgery date the very next day for the following month. The efficiency alone was incredible.
From the moment I landed, I was completely supported. Our driver, Havier, was one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met. He brought me to and from every single appointment and made what could have been a very stressful time feel calm and manageable.
I was also looked after by Laura, who was nothing but caring, supportive, kind, and warm throughout the entire journey. She made everything run so smoothly and was always there whenever I needed reassurance or had questions.
The day before surgery, I met my surgeon, who was extremely reassuring. He took the time to explain everything and completely put my anxiety at ease. During the procedure, they discovered I had stage 3 endometriosis and removed all of it. I had been suffering every single day for so long, and back home it felt like nothing was being done. Healthcare Abroad truly changed — and I genuinely believe saved — my life. For the first time in years, I feel like I can actually live again.
Yes, travelling to another country for surgery is a scary thought. But you are supported from the second you land to the moment you return home — and even beyond that. They are there for absolutely anything you need. I have never experienced healthcare like this in my life.
It’s not fair that so many women are left to suffer for so long. Healthcare Abroad can help stop that suffering. I could not recommend them enough.

I had been on a waiting list 10 months for cataract procedure. I had been told I needed to wait up to 18 months more. My wife saw on f/b about HCA. I made enquiries & read various reviews, which convinced me to arrange to have the procedure done via HCA. HCA staff were very professional & courteous. They looked after me all the way, collected me at hotel & left me at the hospital, where I was met with HCA admin staff. They stayed with me all the time, before & after my procedure. The procedure was quick & painless. My vision since is fantastic. HCA admin took care of all the paperwork. I highly recommend HCA.

Haven my knee replacement gives me back my life ...health care assistant John was absolutely amazing person and makes sure you have everything you need absolute gentle man he was with me all week .the hospital food not great at all..hospital staff were nice I wouldn't say amazing...night staff on my stay to the hospital were quite rude ...so didn't make you feel like ringing the bell..seven different lines has to be put into my arms because they kept falling out because the were not secure properly...and they were saying it was my fault because I was going for a smoke ...the day off the operation i was not out off the bed and it came out four on that day ...Because it wasn't secure enough tubes just left hanging..would be good for them to put more time and probably secure a line properly it caused huge swelling on my hand and painful..im a health care assistant myself 15 years I know enough...and asked would they secure it better..they did...the hotel is absolutely beautiful but with a patient off any age that has surgery and returning to the hotel is not so comfortable..the hotel needs to have ice packs ..plus the hospital found it difficult getting on and it one off must have ...there is not one comfortable chair for a patient sit on ...and thats a must ..definitely Ice packs and chairs...cant check back into hotel till 4pm..after leaving hospital after have serious operation..there should be a courtesy room available for patients ..I left hospital at 11.am and was in horrible pain ..and not a decent to relax on ...the hotel rooms patients are staying in million percent should have a proper chair ..its makes your stay very uncomfortable for healing....I do have pictures off the line the nurses put into my hands and arms....they need a little more training on how to secure it..

I opted for EU cross border scheme via Healthcare Abroad to go to Spain for a Total Knee Replacement.
The entire experience was devastating leaving me with a Disability post op. The Spanish Consultant who operated on me never saw me or made contact after they injured the Tibial Nerve during surgery. Was seen eventually by a different Consultant who has no empathy and never apologised for what occured as a result of surgery.Healthcare Abroad provided no support or follow up . They got paid from HSE so did the Spanish Hospital now they would care less that their negligence has left me with Disability and caused me financially more then what I would have paid for surgery in Ireland. Nearly 10 months post op and I am still suffering with pain, and no sensation in my operated foot. There is no framework or support in situ for patients who underwent surgery who landed up with a complications occured because of the surgeons negligence. Irish consultants are not willing to follow up because the surgery was done in Spain.A surgery which was meant to improve my quality of life only resulted and left me with Disability and poor quality of life .

This company handled everything and were completely professional. Their staff were available at all times and nothing was too much trouble. If I had to have another procedure I would have no hesitation in going with them again.
In Spain everything was arranged for us and the drivers were always available if we needed anything
Great service

From the moment I made a call, the team completely walked me through the process of getting a new knee for my mother. Once we arrived in València the level of attention my mam got was unreal. Thanks lads, the entire team were amazing

I found Healthcare Abroad so efficiently organised it was incredible. I recently had a full knee replacement in Spain organised by Healthcare Abroad. It was a really good experience because everything was so well organised all i had to do was organise my flights Healthcare Abroad did everything else. Transport to and from the airport in Spain Transport to and from the hospital for appointments and most of all my surgery has been a success and I have to applaud the staff of Healthcare Abroad in Spain they were superb many thanks
