View All“Thinking about the Elite Surgery Abroad experience, I can honestly say it exceeded our expectations. My hip replacement is a dual mobility hip – very difficult to dislocate and feels and moves like a natural hip. I am confident that this will not be my only joint replacement using Elite Surgery Abroad.”
Helen Court
Hip Replacement Surgery
“I would highly recommend Elite Surgery Abroad – I think their professionalism is outstanding, the surgeons are outstanding, and everybody who has looked at my scar on my knee, or has looked at the way I walk now – they are astounded by how good it is. I really can’t recommend them highly enough.”
Pam Sharp
Hip Replacement Surgery
“I found Elite Surgery Abroad, and began to look at them on the web. It seemed clear to me that the overall package that Elite Surgery Abroad offered, was potentially infinitely better than anything else I’d encountered.”
Dr Simon Murray
Hip Replacement Surgery
“Best in the world!
I first got in touch with ESA on 7th May ’25. 3rd June I was in Amiens for assessment and 6th June I had a total hip replacement.
The care and attention that I received from a whole host of wonderful unforgettable people here in France and Scotland must make the ESA setup unique and in my albeit biased view the best in the world.
Fast forward in Amiens to 19th June and a consultation with the surgeon shows all is good and I now look forward to getting out and about again with my new hip!
Thank you ESA and your brilliant people on the ground that met me at the airport and took me to my appointments in France for 17 days. Days that have changed my life. Thank you to your associate Clinique Victor PAUCHET with the Residence NAUVAGE. Thank you the surgeon and team. Thank you the nurses that changed the dressing and looked after me. Thank you the Physio team. Thank you the Residence restaurant Chef and team for the breakfast lunch and supper every day.
Thank you to Adriana my lovely wife X.”
“Elite Surgery Abroad gave me my life back.
Six months ago, I had a total knee replacement with them, and the results have been incredible. After months of being stuck on an NHS waiting list, unable to walk my dog and watching my world shrink, I finally found hope.
We discovered Elite Surgery Abroad through a Facebook advert. At first, it seemed too good to be true, but after thorough research and reassuring Zoom calls with the team and surgeon, we knew it was the right choice. Not only was it £6,000 cheaper than our local private hospital, but it also included far better aftercare and physiotherapy.
Today, I’m walking 5–6 miles a day in the New Forest with my husband and our dog — something I never thought I’d do again. The team were professional, supportive, and genuinely life-changing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering surgery.”
“My surgery for right hip replacement on 1st April went well. The aftercare was excellent and now three months on I have regained my mobility. I have even managed to ride pillion on my husbands motorbike. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone in need of hip or knee surgery.”
“I can’t recommend Elite Surgery Abroad enough. Just a short flight (which is particularly helpful on the return home), a slick process from start to finish and wonderful care. The icing on the cake has been the GP support once home which other providers don’t offer. A big thank you to everyone involved in my care but in particular to Dr Rouanet, Susan the guide who I would have been lost without, Carol and Emilie the nurses, Benoit and Jose the brilliant physios, all the drivers but especially Raoul for always being there to look after the process from start to finish and to solve any issues quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend this service to anyone considering it. It is personalised and caring and you feel like you are being well looked after both before during and after your surgery.”
“My experience of ESA: I have to say that this has been an excellent experience from start to finish. I had the advantage of knowing someone who had already been, who was also very praising of the whole package and everyone involved. He set my expectations well and those expectations have been fully met and at times, exceeded. The preparation and operation was totally professional and looks (x-ray) first class! The aftercare in hospital equally professional and the same in the accommodation – the daily nurse visits and daily physio were great and got me moving well in a very short time. For me it was one of my best decisions and I am now excited about what is going to be possible in just a few months, when my sporting life seemed all but over, just a few weeks ago.”
“I had my knee replacement on the 4th July 2025
The experience from start to finish , has been fantastic! I came on my own as well, but the people I met at the residence have been amazing!
From the 1st meeting with Raoul, to the end result has been second to none! From the driver who met me at the airport, to Susan who met me at the hospital, to the surgeon, the nurses, the staff at the residence, the physiotherapists and everyone else involved, I can’t thank you enough!
Nothing was ever too much trouble!
I’m coming back for knee number 2 within the next year!
Thankyou all again ❤️”
Why Knee Replacement Is Done
Knee replacement surgery is recommended when:
- Pain affects your daily life (walking, bending, climbing stairs, or sleeping)
- Non-surgical treatments like medications or physiotherapy are no longer effective
- X-rays show significant joint damage or cartilage loss
Why UK patients Should Consider Knee Replacement Surgery in France
For many UK patients, travelling abroad for surgery may seem unnecessary, until they experience the realities of long NHS waiting lists. Extended delays, limited private capacity, and postponed procedures can significantly affect quality of life. That is why France is becoming an increasingly popular destination for UK patients seeking fast, safe, and high-quality knee replacement surgery.
When knee pain starts affecting your walking, sleep, work, and independence, waiting months for surgery simply isn’t acceptable.
