First I have to say that Dr. Badia is outstanding and I have great confidence in his skills and expertise. My right... thumb after 8 weeks is progressing nicely. I have good grip and motion and the pinch strength is getting stronger each week. I still have a couple of OT appointments for my thumb but am happy with the progress. I do not hesitate to say that I made the right decision to have this thumb orthotic put in and am so happy with the results. The key to any successful surgery is the quality of the doctor performing it. Dr. Badia is the best.read more

I had a tele-meeting via Zoom with Dr. Badia to review my MRI then travelled from Colorado to meet with Dr. Badia in... person and ultimately have surgery on my elbow to repair a previous surgery on my ulnar nerve from another doctor that did not heal properly causing pain after one year. Dr. Badia was very informative and accommodating due to our travels. Office appointment on Monday to discuss solution; surgery on Tuesday and follow up on Thursday before returning home. After 3 weeks I can life my kayak over my head without pain!. AMEN! Thank you Dr. Badia and all your staff that treated us like royalty.read more

Dr. Badia and his staff were courteous and very professional. I suffered from a dislocated shoulder while at work, went... to the ER for a relocation and then was recommended to Dr. Nadia’s center. Dr. badia and his staff were knowledgeable and were able to immediately provide me with options and did not “force” anything on me that was not needed for my recovery. At my follow up Dr. Badia was reassuring and answered any question I had for him. Highly recommend if you’re in the South Florida area.read more

I flew over from The Bahamas to see Dr. Badia for a thumb Injury. He was able to give me an X-ray and MRI in the... morning and identify the problem (torn ligament in my thumb) and fit me in for surgery the very same day. Wonderful service from him and all his staff throughout. We would have had to wait weeks if we stayed in The Bahamas. Thank you Dr. Badiaread more

I had a bicycle accident which led me to Jackson Memorial Main in Miami Florida where I was operated on the arm fir two... broken bones. The surgery was unsuccessful the bones reopened so I came to Dr Badia to my rescue where he performed a secondary surgery. Between the customer care from the whole staff and the doctors show of concern and expertise they really are the best chiropractor for me in miami. They have done surgeries on friends, my mom, elderly friends and everyone has only great things to say.read more

After waiting years in Canada for treatment that never arrived, finally decided to get the elbow fixed with a procedure... (FDA approved in the US) not available anywhere else. Super hi-tech and I feel better already. There were 3 visiting surgeons from Germany and Spain during my operation to learn the methodology. My surgeon said no interest from Canada. 🤦read more

Dr. Badia is fantastic! He is excellent with his patients and takes as much time as necessary with you to answer all of... your questions and to get to know you. To him, you're not simply a number! He genuinely cares about his patients! His clinic's staff is very friendly and easygoing, and the overall experience during my time there was excellent. As an observer in his program, I not only learned a lot about what it takes to be a wonderful doctor, but I also learned a few things that I will put into practice in the future. If you are searching for a top-notch hand or shoulder surgeon, Dr. Badia is the man for the job!read more

Dr Badia is simply the best in what he does. He is very passionate about patients care and education. No where I have... seen that, so much of time and effort is put to create such an awareness amongst the patients. His knowledge and skills are in abundance..Walk into his library and you will see tons of books and international papers that he has published and yet he still looks forward to learn on new products and techniques. No wonder he is a World Renowned Hand Surgeon.read more

If I could give Dr. Badia and his staff a 10, I would! I can not say enough good things about Dr. Badia, his staff, and... the facilities that I was treated in. I am 54 years old and for the past 4 and 1/2 years I HAD horrible post traumatic Left wrist arthritis. I underwent multiple cortisone injections, 4 different surgeries by 3 different hand surgeons, and countless hours of physical and occupational therapy. Between the immobility and debilitating pain, my life was slowly slipping through my hands. I researched the internet and truly felt in my heart that I needed a total wrist replacement, however, all but 1 of the 6 doctors told me "no, you need to fuse your wrist". I was devastated! The 1 surgeon that said she could do it was not very positive about doing it and guaranteed me a 100% chance of a complication and did not know if I would regain any more movement from my wrist.It was by divine intervention that I decided to surf the web one more time and I found Dr. Badia! I preceded with a tele health referral as I live in northeast Georgia. When he said that I needed a total wrist replacement and that he could do it, my jaw hit the floor! From that point on, everything moved quickly and very easily, at least from their end. My surgery was 4 weeks ago today. My operative note read that I had -30 degrees flexion in my wrist, (negative 30 degrees). Yesterday in therapy, my therapist measured me at 22 degrees!! That is a whole 52 degrees!! I am ecstatic! My pain level is so much lower than it was and it only hurts when I have overdone my therapy or swimming. If you are reading this and you have wrist problems, look no further! You owe it to yourself to at least do a referral. I did not even realize how truly bad it was until I began to recover. I am very quickly regaining my life back! Thank you Dr. Badia and staff, you have been a complete game changer!read more

I was told my rotator cuff repair was going to take 9-12 months to heal from surgery, limited range of motion and a... likelihood of residual pain for 1-2 years by two sports medicine Drs in Houston. Dr Badia repaired mine and I had full range of motion in 6-9 weeks and near 100% pain free in 3-4 months, 95 % pain free 6 weeks after surgery. Needed zero pain meds post-op from expert regional anesthesia and fantastic surgical repair. I am 65 and back to martial arts, swimming an hour a day and lifting weights. I am a year out and can't tell I had surgery. Best results I could ever expect. Being a physician my compliments don't come frequently but I highly recommend Dr Badia !! Outstanding results, outstanding Dr.read more

I have been a long time a patient of Dr. Alejandro Badia. I consider him the best in the world if you have any problem... with your hands or shoulders. He has treated my daughter, my wife and myself with different illnesses related to those extremities. We could not have been in better hands. He has always been available to us no matter the circumstances, day or night. I consider him to have the most qualified, courteous and most professional staff working for him. I wish this Government would take in consideration the suggestions offered by Dr. Badia in his book to solve the present healthcare crisis that we are confronting in our nation today.read more

Last year I suffer a horrible accident where I had 4 of my fingers severed from both of my hands, after going through... medical procedure I was told I had to get my 4 fingers amputated after looking for help Dr Badia was the only one to give me a chance to save my hands.He not only gave me hope, his knowledge about the situation and the correct procedure for me to follow calm me and I understand at that point that I had a second chance, after several surgeries and months of rehabilitation not only physical but emotional to cause I got to admit all the staff was involved with my rehabilitation everyone helped me in some way for me to get better, the therapy and all the staff make my recovery faster.It's been a year since my accident and all I can say is that thanks to Dr. Badia knowledge and expertise today I have a chance to live a normal live.read more

I was referred to Dr Badia by my co-worker who also had a trigger finger. Dr Badia performed surgery on me with great... success. He told me that I would feel results immediately which I did. The staff is amazing, very professional and friendly. With a number of females working in a office sometimes you get attitudes but not one visit did I experience any negative energy from anyone. Dr Badia is the best. He was very informative and he knows his craft extremely well. In addition to him being an exceptional great doctor he’s good on the eyes, even with these mask on. I highly recommend him to anyone.read more

Hello I would just like to share what it is I have experience here with Dr. Bhatia’s facility and would like to... emphasize the fact that this is an incredible facility for the injury I had which was a rotator cuff tear. From the time that I actually arrived with the injury I was put in the capable hands at their facility then when I had the shoulder surgery it was a huge success for me, I also received the bedded attention with care and support that was equally as incredible……I can’t speak enough about the therapy facility as well which is also located at the same location at Dr. Badia’s Office…….They have my full respect and appreciation for their outstanding work and service as I am living proof of what I experience hand benefited from and will not hesitate to refer anyone to them cheersread more

We brought our 17 year old son to Dr. Badia for a hand injury suffered playing baseball. From the moment we walked in... to the office, everyone was kind and attentive. He ended up needing surgery and the entire process was extremely smooth and again, everyone we came in contact with was amazing. The office and surgery center are in the same building so it is very convenient. We had been to other doctors for this same injury several years ago and the injury kept getting misdiagnosed so it was great that Dr. Badia diagnosed the problem and took care it so my son doesn’t have to deal with it anymore.read more

Not good for pediatric patients . Long wait time, so had a lot of ppl waiting. Would not let me wait on chaira... outside of xray room but rather in the outside waiting room even though my child was only 10. Don’t take pediatric patients if you can’t properly accommodate one guardian.read more

Dr. Badia is an outstanding Dr and surgeon. I first sought his expertise, in late 2013, after a misdiagnosis and a... botched surgery by another Dr that left me with unbearable pain and unable to move my right hand for months.After doing some research online, looking for some excellent hand surgeons, a lot of articles came up praising Dr. Badia's expertise and competence. I sent him an email explaining what happened, how the pain started and asked for his opinion. To my surprise,I received a thorough response the same day with detailed information.I right then decided to drive 4hours to go see him; I must say it was the best decision I made. From the 1st visit, Dr. Badia performed surgery to fix the initial issue and later did another surgery to correct the botched one; I couldn't be happier with the results.Earlier this year, I slipped and injured my left wrist. I made another trip to Miami and once again Dr. Badia came to the rescue. He did surgery on my left wrist after the conservative treatment didn't fully help and at the same time did a cubital nerve release on my right elbow that instantly stopped the pain I've been having.I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Badia; he's a true expert and an outstanding surgeon. His staff is very kind, professional, friendly and truly cares.read more

My husband and I contacted Dr Badia for my hand issues. I had researched approximately five hand specialists in... Florida and one in New York city before I found Dr Badia about an hour away from us.My husband and I went to Doral, Florida and the minute I met Dr Badia I knew he was going to do my surgery.He has personality plus !!! and loves what he does. He is kind, patient and listens to his patients. He respects your hands !Dr Badia was highly recommended and I am so glad that we found him. He did the surgery on my hand and with a bit of rehab it healed better than I expected and my pain was gone !Dr Badias office personnel are wonderful ! It is quite obvious that they love working there with him and that they love their jobs. My husband and I have never experienced an office with so many helpful and caring people.We both recommend Dr Badia. We still drive to his office for anything to do with hand issues and he takes care of whatever it is. We both trust our hands ONLY to him ! He is a gem.read more

I first contacted Dr. Badia's clinic after I injured my hamate bone. I needed a surgery and someone in my family that... knew Dr. Badia convinced me that he was one of the best if not the best hand surgeon in the world. I am a high level Baseball player so I needed treatments in order to get back on the field as soon as possible. I have been able to book an appointment the next week which was great. I'm Canadian which made it tougher with my insurance company, but Dr. Badia's team has been really helpful with that, they sent numerous emails and even made some calls with the company to make sure I would not have any fees related to the consultation and surgery. The surgery went really well, without any complication and I don't think it would have been as quick and easy with anyone else than Dr. Badia and his team. I would definitively recomand Badia Hand to Shoulder Center to anyone in the need of treatments.read more

I injured my shoulder right as we entered into a lockdown due to a pandemic. It was next to impossible to get anyone to... see me and assess my injury. Dr. Badia and his team, following carefully laid out safety protocols, were able to bring me in, have x-rays, MRI and thorough review of the findings all in ONE visit!!! I was given an interim treatment plan to bridge the gap as surgeries were restricted due to COVID-19. As soon as surgeries resumed, I was scheduled for my procedure. To say that both Dr. Badia and his team are amazing is an understatement.They helped me handle a difficult insurance approval process to ensure I had the best surgeon treating me and my procedure at The Surgery Center at Doral and communication with my PCP and Cardiologist was excellent.Everyone made me feel very safe and confident that I was in the best possible setting where I wouldn’t be exposed to needless risk in a traditional hospital. The results of my surgery so far have been amazing. I’ve had next to no pain post-op and my recovery is coming along at lightning speed thanks Dr. B’s amazing talent and the dream team he has at OrthoNow where I have been undergoing physical therapy. I couldn’t say enough good things about him and the team. His expertise and dedication to providing the best possible care using cutting edge technology make for patient centered care and well being vs. insurance driven red tape so often seen today. Highly recommend Dr. Badia!read more

Dr Badia is the best orthopedic surgeon in Miami hands down. I need surgery because of a multiple fracture in my left... forearm. Went to other doctors (UM, mount Sinai) and they didn’t promise me I would recover 100% of my injuries and told me I would not be able to do sports again.Dr Badia did tell me I would heal 100% and it’s true. I did a much simpler surgery and fixed me in no time.Would recommend to anyone. Two thumbs upread more
