What patients like

  1. Osteoarthritis treatment efficacy. Spain uses innovative treatments such as minimally invasive resurfacing surgery, allowing patients to walk independently after two days. This method preserves results for over 25 years.
  2. Doctor's professionalism. Spanish doctors specialize in arthroplasty, evidenced by memberships in international orthopedic organizations and thousands of successful surgeries.
  3. Cost. The Osteoarthritis treatment cost in Spain ranges from $23063 to $31318, which is more affordable compared to countries like the USA where prices can reach up to $50,000. However, costs can vary depending on the case.
  4. Service level. Spanish hospitals offer a high standard of patient care, with comprehensive post-operative support and personalized exercise plans for recovery.
  5. Logistics. Patients appreciate the efficient logistics, with short hospitalization periods and quick return to active life.

What patients don't like

  1. Waiting time. Some patients report long waiting times for consultations and surgeries due to high demand.
  2. Language barrier. Although many doctors and staff speak English, some patients have reported language difficulties.
  3. Additional costs. While the treatment cost is relatively low, additional expenses such as travel, accommodation and potential post-operative care can add up.

The staff is attentive. I did not get any useful information or help from the doctor. In addition, he was extremely careless with regard to the previous examinations provided for familiarisation. I would definitely not want to see this doctor again.
