En 2008, completó el Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, un centro clínico totalmente integrado para los miembros superiores que también abarca el Surgery Center at Doral, servicios de rehabilitación y un centro de imágenes por resonancia magnética (MRI). Más recientemente, el Dr. Badia inauguró OrthoNOW®, el primer centro de atención ortopédica de urgencia inmediata en el sur de la Florida, el cual cuenta con cirujanos de la Doral Orthopedic Clinic (DOC); un grupo de cirujanos de las subespecialidades de extremidades inferiores, miembros superiores y columna vertebral, que también tratan problemas ortopédicos electivos en pacientes internacionales.
