Part 1

Colm’s Heart Surgery in Madrid

“So back in November 2025, I started feeling a bit lightheaded and dizzy at home. I decided to go to the Cardiac Care unit. They done a few tests and they followed up with a few different tests during the months of January and February.

And they discovered and advised me that I needed a double heart bypass at this time. I came across Healthcare Abroad on social media and I made a phone call in to Chris and his team and discussed whether it was something that Healthcare Abroad could do.

And within four weeks of that phone call, I had my flights, my operation and everything booked and I was on a plane all the way over to Madrid.

And here I am today, 11 days after post op. I feel absolutely fantastic and I’m looking forward to go back home again.”

The Medical Team

“From day one of doing the procedure, I have to say the service I got from Dr. Evaristo Castedo and Dr. Paloma Martínez was second to none. They were constantly in contact, checking in with me, making sure I was comfortable and everything was going well.

If I had any questions, they were always available—whether through WhatsApp or a phone call—and they kept checking in.

I have to say, the service and treatment by these two doctors has been exceptional. I’d highly recommend anybody waiting for a double coronary bypass or any kind of heart surgery to definitely reach out and contact Healthcare Abroad.”

Looking to the Future

The things I’m really looking forward to, getting back to normal life is obviously going home, spend time with my family and friends and also getting out onto the golf course and playing my golf again, which is all going to happen now in September.”

    Dr. Evaristo Castedo and Dr. Paloma Martinez even checked on me after surgery, while I was in the hospital and when I got home he texted me a few times to see how I was doing. That’s amazing care.
