What our patients think about us

I came to Spain to have my cataracts done. Everything perfect. When I first heard about the programme, it sounds a little bit too good to believe it. Then, I figured.

Joseph M.D.

I got my hip done in Spain. Everything went good. Back to Ireland, I am able to walk by myself again! Thank you!!

M. Willson (hip replacement)

It’s hard to believe that I had been waiting for more than 2 years for this operation in Ireland. I finally took the decision to contact CBIH and I got my cataract done in 2 weeks! I will never be able to thank you enough for your help!

Cathy L. (cataract operation)

I came to Spain to have my first cataract done. I felt like home. After a month, I decided to come back again to have my second eye treated. Thank you the whole team!
