In 2022, while other businesses were winding down, he quietly opened a second location in NYC. The fact that his patient base is both international and domestic, many of his patients reside in New York and New Jersey, or travel there as  tourist.

If ever there was a place that required immediate care, it’s New York. The city moves at a breakneck pace, and we want to offer New Yorkers the rapid care they deserve,” says Badia. “Our goal is to offer New Yorkers a better option than hours in a hospital or ER waiting room alongside someone with the flu, suffering a heart attack or worse.” Beyond that, Badia adds, “It’s also about treating patients more efficiently, putting the focus on specific care to get ahead of patients who are ‘doctor or pill shoppers.” Dr. Alejandro Badia
