Shoulder Surgery Journey in Valencia, Spain : “What a super service from start to finish from Healthcare Abroad”
For Denis Deevy, the journey to shoulder surgery in Spain began unexpectedly while changing his car. “The chap I deal with handed me a card for Healthcare Abroad, I went home, rang the number, and that was just over three weeks ago. Now I’ve had the surgery and I’m already in physio.”
Denis travelled to Vithas Valencia Turia Hospital in Spain, where he was treated by Dr. Carlos Ferragut, a renowned orthopaedic surgeon. “The doctor was top class, from the very start, everything moved quickly and smoothly. It was pure fluke I found out about Healthcare Abroad. But the whole process just fell into place. Everyone was spot on. I’m still scratching my head wondering how it all happened so fast.”
“I stayed at the Primus Hotel and it was lovely. There were people there at every step, Dave met me at the Airport and made sure I had everything I needed. In Valencia, John was waiting for us. Everything was bang, bang, bang — no messing. It was exactly as it was explained.”
“Even the admin staff, the surgeon, and every single nurse treated you like royalty. The hospital was like a five-star hotel.”
Now in physiotherapy, Denis is starting to feel like himself again. “With the shoulder pain, there was only three-quarters of me working. The thought of being back at 100%, you can’t put a price on that.”
“I was half thinking I’d have to give up work because of the shoulder but now I have the choice again. I have control of my life.”
