After years of experience in the field, Dr. Badia concluded that sometimes a traditional emergency room could cause more harm to a patient than good when helping them with an orthopedic injury.

The problem with emergency rooms is that they are not ideal for fewer injuries or certainly complaints of joint pain, for example,” shared Alejandro Badia, MD, board-certified hand, wrist, and upper extremity orthopedic surgeon with Badia Hand to Shoulder Center in Florida.”

In 2010, Dr. Badia’s frustration with the health care system sparked the idea for the creation of specialized orthopedic urgent care centers to efficiently assess and treat a range of orthopedic and sports injuries. OrthoNOW is an immediate orthopedic care center where everything from acute injury to pain is addressed in virtually any musculoskeletal condition.
