The Specialist
Dr. Joris van der Lugt

Doctor Joris van der Lugt (1976) has over 15 years of experience as an orthopedic surgeon and trainer in The Hague/Zoetermeer. He specializes in hip and knee replacements, as well as repair surgeries of these replacements. He has since made thousands of patients happy with a pain-free and active life.

In 2022, he emigrated to Marbella. He currently works Wednesdays and Thursdays at Hospital Vithas Xanit Estepona (insured care) and Mondays and Fridays at Compass Clinic Estepona (private care) and Marbella Sports and Orthopedics (private care). In addition to hip and knee surgeries, he specializes in infiltrations with the blood products PRP and N stride to postpone surgeries for years. For more information see marbellasportsandorthopedics.com

4 days a month he is in Utrecht at Flexclinics for operations and consultations. Dutch people living in Spain who have health insurance through the CAK can get a hip or knee prosthesis which is fully reimbursed by the CAK provided the operation is performed on Dutch territory. You can fly back after at least 1 week. The follow-up treatment will then take place again in Spain.

Rehab lab

Since September 1, 2024, I have been working with Rehab lab, an online physical therapy platform where a personalized post-operative hip or knee rehabilitation is put together for you. You will receive daily exercises and can have low-threshold consultations with the physical therapist. After signing up, you can download the app and get started. Of course, you can also use this platform for other joint problems.

Video consultations can be done in English, Spanish or Dutch.

If you live in Spain and your health insurance is through the CAK (Central Administration Office), surgery is only reimbursed in the Netherlands. You can do the initial consultation in Spain and have the surgery done in Utrecht. After a week you may fly back to Spain with your new hip or knee.

Would you like to rehabilitate under the Spanish sun after your new hip or knee replacement?

The operation will be performed by a Dutch team. You will be assisted postoperatively by a Dutch or English physiotherapist. After at least one week you will fly back to the Netherlands, but of course you may stay longer with your partner or carer. A large part of the costs will be covered by your Dutch health insurance, but you will always have to pay a contribution yourself. But in return, you will have a relaxing rehabilitation and a fantastic holiday. The first consultation and the follow-up consultations can take place in Utrecht or Marbella.
