EXCELLENT Based on 36 reviews Posted on Gerry CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Knee Replacement 16/04/24. I attended the Surgery Now Clinic in Benidorm and I must say it was top class. I arrived on 14/4 was met by David a really nice guy who transferred me to my hotel. The following morning the pre Op procedure took about 1hour, and I was back in my hotel for breakfast. My operation took place at 08,30 on the 16/4. The staff Leanne & Alex were on hand daily to answer any questions and were more than helpful, through the whole process. On discharge from the clinic they even took me to the Pharmacy for the medication. This whole process was top class and would highly recommend it thank you Surgery Now. Gerard Carroll LimerickPosted on Eimear McDonaghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I couldn’t recommend Surgery Now enough. I was in Benidorm in march with my son, he had a tonsillectomy done. Roz was an absolute diamond she organized everything from helping us with paperwork , flights and accommodation, any questions we had she bent over backwards to help. Before we left Leanne made contact with us and had organized our airport pick up with David. David drove us to the hotel and even checked us in. We were met by Alex at the hotel and she took us to the hospital. We then met Martina and they brought us to meet the surgeon. I had a CT scan and the results the next morning. My son’s surgery went great and the care we got was fantastic. My son has been on the list in Ireland for a few years and we were getting nowhere, this was the best decision we made. It was easy and fast, we were completely at ease in the hands of the fantastic team of Surgery Now, they were so professional, kind and caring. We have both been reimbursed from the hse since we returned. We couldn’t thank the team enough for looking after us so well.Posted on Pam RossiterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I could not recommend surgery now enough.

I really do recommend the surgerynow team. 100/10. change my life 🥰Posted on Dave MoloneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Posted on behalf of my mother in law: Hi all, I just want to post a glowing review in favour of absolutely everyone and anyone who has a connection with the SurgeryNow.ie team. I had 3 medical professionals in Ireland in agreement that the only treatment likely to help my back issue was surgery, yet I couldn’t get to see a public consultant in order to get on a list for surgery. So, I looked into surgery under the treatment abroad scheme. From the very first contact, (Lucy) it became clear these guys have a great system going. You will constantly feel supported and that they have the utmost interest in your care plan and recovery. Further to this, they are a very warm and funny bunch of people who are not afraid to have a bit of craic with you. David collected me from the airport and from there the banter started. There was always reassurance that you were in good hands and that every person who helped you would be better than the previous one. Next, the lovely ladies, Leanne, Charlotte and Martina got the pre-op assessments up and running, the results of which were uploaded to an app before 5 pm the same day, a service absolutely alien to me. On the day of admission, you are welcomed to the hospital and checked over, this is where my surgeon shone taking the extra time to double check an issue by referring to my imaging. There would be no time pre-theatre in Ireland for the likes of this, and I am especially grateful to my doctor for saving me from a possible further surgery down the road. Post-op care was just as well managed as you are taken to and from your hotel by either David or Scott for all routine aftercare. The team goes above and beyond for you making you feel like you are in the company of family the whole time with everyone rooting for the best outcome for you! I can honestly say I will be singing the praises of these guys for a long time to come. My intentions are not to slate the Irish medical and allied medical staff, they are hardworking people trying to do their job in an outdated system. As the Irish system is under so many restrictions and so understaffed, the staff don’t get a chance to showcase their talents and give the highest level of care that they put many hours of training to give. In comparison, a well-managed system here gives the professionals the opportunity to flourish and showcase their amazing skillset. It should be that way at home but Ireland is broken. The health system, the educational system, the policing system, the judiciary system and above all the political system . What we need to do is turn the system off and turn it back on again. But until we can get to that point let’s use the facilities we have available to us. If you require elective surgery, pick up the phone and contact surgerynow to avail of the treatment abroad scheme, I promise you will consider this to be one of the best decisions you will make in your life. The team of SurgeryNow.ie are certainly best in class.Posted on Janice Forsyth AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Janice, Phyllis and I can't thank you and ALL the team enough for your professionalism but more so for your caring that extra wee bit ( dare I say an enjoyable experience) that makes all the difference. Please also convey our high regard for Dr Paula Ferrara and her skill and sympathetic approach to Janice. I hope we meet again in 6 months time when Janice returns for her x-ray. Warmest Regards The Andersons 🙏🏻🙏🏻😘Posted on Aaron GraydonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I have just had a hernia repaired by surgery now and I couldn’t recommend them enough their service is so efficient and friendly ( at first I thought everything was too good to be true but I was proven very wrong )I haven’t a bad word to say about anyone or anything within the company, from transport to and from the airport and hospital for appointments and back to the hotel and the surgery and communication everything was just so perfect. Appointments are quick and painless and you will have someone helping you every step of the way no matter how big or small your question or demands might be it is never an issue for surgery now they get it all done with ease. If you ever need any kind of surgery and can’t wait around in Ireland for it please get onto surgery now and let them take the stress and pressure out of it all. The staff in the IMED hospital were fantastic very well mannered and well equipped to deal with any medical needs, extremely professional, they even arranged the private room around so my partner could sleep over night with me which I found to be such a lovely touch and very comforting. Just want to say a special thanks to Noel, Leanne, Charlotte, martina, David and Scott for absolutely everything I can’t thank you guys enough for every single thing you all have done for me and lauren. Regards, Aaron.Posted on Niamh SherryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Hi my name is Niamh! I would absolutely recommend Surgery Now. I was diagnosed with a cyst on my liver and was told I would be waiting up to 18 months to have my surgery in Ireland. From first speaking to Surgery Now everything was so straightforward and no question was too much. They organised my surgery within 3/4 weeks of me first making contact. I travelled to IMED hospital in Benidorm and the treatment was next to none. Everyone on the Surgery Now team were so helpful you didn’t have to worry about anything, everything was organised for you from the moment you arrived. Transport from the airport, to any appointment etc. My surgery went really well and I was back home in Ireland a week after my surgery. I am now living pain free and healthy all thanks to the efficiency of this service. 10/10 would recommend to anyone considering this option you will not regret It.

Had my knee reconstruction surgery done here and the whole experience was excellent. The surgeon and staff were professional, reassuring, and explained everything clearly. Surgery went smoothly and recovery has been manageable, even on crutches. Really happy with the care I received — highly recommend!Posted on Cathal MurrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had hip replacement, I must congratulate my consultant David & his team in their professionalism, kindness and putting me at ease and the successful outcome of the procedure. I was back in my apartment and walking with crutches after 3 days. Surgery Now the support team have been amazing from day 1, made everything so easy, attention to detail,appointments, processing all the paperwork for reimbursement from HSE. Leanne and Hally have been so professional, communication & reassuring with every detail through the process For me personally Scott became the real face of Surgery Now he puts you at ease from the first pickup, checking in for pre-op, xrays (which he had to queue for twice as someone didn't listen 😉)bloods etc. Totally puts you at ease , also on discharge brought me to pick up my prescription. Totally minded me from start to finish.....He's an absolute diamond 💎 & a great asset to Surgery NowPosted on Gabi GorkaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am writing this review on behalf of my dad who got ankle surgery with Surgery now. I couldn’t recommend Surgery Now enough. They are a team of highly skilled professionals who take remarkable care of their patients making sure the patient is comfortable and safe at all times. They explain everything in detail and are always there in person or online if you need to reach out about anything. Everyone is super friendly and there is a great atmosphere at their clinic. Scott is a great member of the team he is very friendly and absolutely superb at his job. He brought us to and from our appointments and did this with lots of care always making sure we were on time for our appointments and made sure to check us in at the hospital. I’m not sure we would have got anything done without him there as we don’t speak Spanish so we would have definitely struggled with everything. We couldn’t thank him enough. Keith and Hally are great at their jobs they provide you with all the information you need. Everything is very clearly explained to you by them and they do all the paperwork for you which was wonderful and we greatly appreciated it. We had a lovely experience here with Surgery Now during such a stressful time for my dad but we knew we were in good hands and that things would go to plan. Everyone in the team really goes above and beyond for their patients you can really tell they all love their jobs and love helping people. I am so grateful that my dad was in the care of these professionals. Thank you all so much again😁😁😁Posted on Marta AlonsoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Surgery now and trauma care! We didn’t have to worry about a thing as Scott, Hally and Leanne did everything for us. As an Spanish patient living in Ireland, it was such a privilege to have access to such high regarded doctors and hospital, and zero waiting time for the operation! Nobody should suffer waiting for a call when this service is available!Posted on Didi ValenteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an experience with Surgery Now they have kept us informed all the way, I definitely recomend this if anyone is waiting to be operated for a long time. Thank you Dr Hugo from Trauma Care Clinic and the staff at Surgery Now. A special thank you to Scott (our driver) who is so much more than just the driver, Scott did everything for us from picking us up at the airport to dropping us off. Thank you Scott you quite the gentleman.Posted on Stephen McEneaneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The surgery Now team go above and beyond the call of duty throughout every aspect of your healthcare journey. What can be a very anxious experience is made so much easier by the attitude and helpfulness of the staff. Imed Elche Hospital is immaculate and our consultant was an amazing and very talented gentleman who performed a very complex surgery to an extremely professional level. The hotel was fantastic and plenty to do in the local area. A special mention for Scott and Leanne who made this journey so much easier and filled us with confidence every step of the way. I cannot praise this service enough and would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends alike.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
