"I have recently returned from France after having a total hip replacement. I used the services of Surgery in France and I cannot praise them highly enough. From the initial contact to the day I returned home every question I had was answered fully, everything was well organised and nothing was too much trouble. I spent a week in the hospital where I had the operation, followed by two weeks in a rehabilitation clinic, totally different to the 4/5 days that I could have expected in an NHS hospital. I have no hesitation in recommending Surgery in France."
June A, Worcester, Hip Replacement.
"I spent just over a week, being tested, receiving a second opinion on another matter to compare with one in the UK, and undergoing surgery. Everything was arranged by the organisation, from airport arrival to departure, medical appointments, and accommodation. There were no concomitant worries. Laurent Locke was readily available, responded at once to any enquiries, was able to provide professional advice, and was useful in introducing patients to the medical personnel involved. Perhaps the most positive feedback I can provide is that another surgical procedure may be required, and if so I shall consult Surgery in France to make arrangements."
Larry J , Wales, Knee Arthroscopy.
"I was met by Laurent at Marseilles Airport and from the outset he was caring, kind and thoughtful. He took me to Toulon and my experience at the hospital was wonderful. Everything went smoothly and all the personnel from surgeon and theatre staff to nurses and auxilliary were quite superb. I have told a few people of this service with great enthusiasm and can thoroughly recommend SurgeryInFrance."
Eve R, Scotland, Knee Replacement.
"I came for cataract surgery having had one eye operated on in Greece I knew what to expect. I experienced the same care, efficiency and expert treatment here . A good organisation. Thank you"
Roger M , Herts., Cataract.
"I was planning to have knee surgery in Asia. However, after consulting with SurgeryInFrance, I made the decision to choose France. From initial contact to the operation took four weeks. Every detail was taken care of for me, which was excellent, as I do not speak more than a few words of French. My wife was able to stay with me in my room for the nights of the procedure, which was a great comfort to me. The clinic was superb and the staff very attentive. I have no hesitation in recommending SurgeryInFrance to anyone."
Dennis H, Isle of Wight, Knee Replacement.
"My condition required operating on within 2 weeks. The NHS in the UK and other private healthcare providers could not respond quickly enough. I made one phone call to Surgery in France and they made all the arrangements to fly me out to a clinic in Marseilles and organise a consultation, scan and surgical treatment all within the space of a week.
I was very impressed with the efficient, friendly and personal service provided, both by SurgeryInFrance and the specialised clinic in Marseilles, throughout my stay in France. The clinic was of the highest standard and the staff very professional.
It was a complex operation (which is just not available in Scotland) carried out by a very skilled surgeon, and I now have full use of my arm again."
Mark D, Scotland, Biceps Repair.
"From the initial contact right through to post operative treatment, SurgeryinFrance gave us confidence,advice and support. They were always available, whether it was a minor problem, like connecting the laptop in hospital, or more serious concerns, such as being available for consultations with the surgeon. The standard of the hospital and the quality of treatment were excellent and we would highly recommend their services."
Ivor H, Norfolk, Prostate Surgery.
"I found that SurgeryInFrance was excellent from the very first phone call. From the time of that call to my eye operation was 7 days. I was picked up at the airport, taken to the clinic and had a check up to see that i was o.k for the operation as I am 73 . I had my eye seen to the very next morning. From then on I was picked up every time I had to see the surgeon or optician from the place I was staying at. I can only say that this was fantastic value for money and, best of all, I could see clearly again for the first time in 18 months. My vision is so good now that I am back driving. Thank you SurgeryInFrance."
Herbert C, Berks., Cataracts.
"I arranged a full knee replacement operation through Surgery in France, and cannot praise them highly enough for their advice, efficiency and after care - in particular the personal attention they gave me before, during and after my stay in hospital. They made a difficult and daunting process in a foreign country much easier than it would have been had I been on my own."
Sheila H, Bath, Knee Replacement.
"I underwent a neuroma excision in December 2007. Rang up on Thursday, travelled on Sunday, consultation on Monday, operation on Wednesday. Home on Friday.
Excellent service throughout from collection to drop off at Marseille station.
The clinic used was a specialist foot and hand clinic in Toulon that instilled confidence the moment you walked through the door. Not flash or luxurious but a centre of medical specialty.
Excellent translation service offered throughout"
Peter M, Devon, Morton's Neuroma.
"I was impressed from the initial phone call through to the surgical follow up.The whole process was made so easy and enjoyable and the surgery was second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend Surgery in France to anyone including my best friends and I only wish I had discovered them sooner."
Gaynor L, Kent, Breast Reduction.
"After having laser eye surgery on 20th June this year, I can not praise SurgeryInFrance enough for the excellent treatment and caring service that I received. I've had no problems and am delighted with the results, no glasses, wonderful. I would like to thank everyone concerned, especially Laurent for guiding me through the whole procedure, from the first telephone call to leaving Toulon five days later. Thanks again S.I.F."
Margaret H, Dordogne, LASIK.
"Having been let down by the NHS many times, I found SurgeryInFrance and have not looked back.
Treatment, service, aftercare, value were second to none. I would recommend this service over and over again."
Carole S, London, Hip Replacement.
"I had laser eye surgery in march '08.
The care was fantastic, no stone left unturned.
I had no problems whatsoever and everything is good.
I have recommennded this service to all my friends and will continue to do so"
Tracey F, Ireland, LASIK.
"I was well looked after, everything was explained about my operation. I was acompanied each step of the way and all my concerns dealt with quickly with a minimum of fuss. The surgeon was fantastic and the Nursing staff kind and attentive.
All in all a very positive experience, I would not hesitate to use SurgeryInFrance again."
Kay R, Wales, Gall Bladder Surgery.
"I really want to thank you for your attention during our time in
France. You really turned a traumatic time into a 'walk in the park' just as
you promised! My testimonial is 'A highly professional service that focuses
exclusively on the care and wellbeing of the patient. Excellent in every
way."
Dawn M, Kent, Diagnostic Imaging.
"After contacting SurgeryInFrance
concerning a problem with my left knee and my right hip, I received an
immediate response. Within two days an appointment had been made for x-rays. At
the interview with a doctor, which followed the x-rays immediately, the
efficient translations from French to English by SurgeryInFrance enabled me to
have a clear understanding of the problem different from the diagnosis I had
been given in England. The following day, I had an x-ray for osteoporosis and
two days after that I had a full consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon
regarding treatment. At each consultation, I was taken by SurgeryInFrance who
were a great support. I was delighted with the attention to detail and the
prompt service provided by SurgeryInFrance and I would highly recommend this
service to others in need of medical help."
Margaret P,
Isle of Wight, Hip Replacement.
"We were filled with confidence from the moment we
were met which continued throughout the consultation. We will highly recommend
the service to everyone."
Christina M, Shropshire, Digestive Surgery.
"I would have no hesitation in recommending Surgery in
