The Specialist
Dr. Joris van der Lugt

Doctor Joris van der Lugt (1976) has over 14 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).

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.

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.

I had a hip replacement in July by Dr. Joris and his team. After 6 weeks all is great. Apart from the expected aches. The hip is fantastic and the scarring hardly noticeable. The service provided before, during and after the operation was first class and all was made very simple for me. I would have no doubts in recommending Dr. Joris and his team.

Estuve en la consulta del doctor Joris Van der Lugt. Desde el primer momento me inspiro muchísima confianza, por su cercanía y por la información clara y concisa. Tenía un Impeachment coxofemoral y la solución era implantar una prótesis total de cadera. Me operé justo hace dos semanas con el doctor Van der Lugt. Pase un posoperatorio muy favorable, a las 24 horas estaba ya en casa Desde entonces mi evolución ha sido muy satisfactoria. Tras dos semanas de posoperatorio camino solamente con una muleta, Voy a Fisioterapia tres veces por semana y ya estoy conduciendo mi propio coche . Solamente tengo palabras de infinito agradecimiento al doctor Van der Lugt por su profesionalidad y buen hacer Cordialmente Jaime Pinzón.

Dr. van der Lugt is not only a nice and warm personality but also a fantastic orthopedic surgeon. He operated my mother in low on both knees. 200% result. She is treated in a short time with maximum function. She asked me to note her appreciation.

Joris is highly recommended as your orthopaedic surgeon! My hip replacement in Cenyt Hospital in Estepona went perfect. Even so important: he is very patient oriented, listens, answers and supports. And you have direct contact with him! Also, the supporting staff is very helpful with making other appointments etc. Rene Maassen Mijas

I cannot recommend Dr. Joris van der Lugt more highly. I am so grateful to him for his extraordinary care and expertise. My experience is a little complicated. I had a bicycle accident just over three months ago, my right thigh and hip assumed virtually all the impact of my fall. I was taken by ambulance to the public hospital in La Linea where I was examined and X-rayed. I was told that I could go home and that I had no broken bones or serious injuries and could expect to fully recover within 10-12 weeks. I experienced excruciating pain over the next few days, but gradually I regained some mobility and flexibility in my right leg so I felt I was on the road to recovery. However, after 10 weeks, I was still feeling significant pain in my leg and hip and could not walk without the use of a cane. I consulted a specialist at the Cenyt Hospital in Estepona who told me that my recovery might take another 3 months. He booked me appointments with physiotherapists and, most fortunately, referred me to Dr. van der Lugt. It took Dr. van der Lugt only a few minutes to determine that my injuries were a lot more serious and subsequent X-rays and CT scans confirmed that I had three fractures in my pelvis and that the top of my femur and been pushed 2 inches into my hip. Luckily for me, one of his scheduled surgeries had just been canceled and he slotted me in for surgery two days later. He cautioned me that I might have to undergo two surgeries, 6 weeks apart, because he was a little concerned about the overall stability of my hip and pelvis. Much to my relief, and as a result, I am sure, of Dr. van der Lugt's extraordinary skill, only one operation was necessary. I was discharged after one day after the operation. One day later, I am virtually without any pain and able to move comfortably around with crutches. I should mention that the care I received at the Cenyt Hospital was exemplary. The entire administrative and healthcare team could not have been kinder and more attentive and professional. I was touched by their care and concern for me as a patient. As for Dr. van der Lugt, I can only speak in utter superlatives. He is kind, caring, communicative and obviously extremely competent. One could not ask for more from a surgeon. I cannot thank him enough. Sincerely, Nigel Livingston (Professor Emeritus)
