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. To that end, he founded OrthoNOW, the only network of orthopedic urgent care centers in the country, and revolutionized the delivery of healthcare to patients resulting in better outcomes, less wait times and decreased cost of care.

OrthoNOW®, which began franchising in 2014, is focused on sports medicine and the treatment and prevention of the full range of orthopedic injuries, all on a walk-in basis. Services include treatment of injuries to the hand, wrist, foot, ankle, knee, spine and shoulder, as well as preventative consultation and regimens by experts in orthopedics. Every OrthoNOW is equipped with digital imaging equipment and offers the latest techniques and treatments by a team of orthopedic physicians and orthopedic specialized ancillary providers. Many centers offer Electroneuromuscular Therapy (ENMT) which dramatically alleviates acute and chronic pain and expedites recovery time from surgery. OrthoNOW® recently launched the OrthoNOW® mobile app for iPhone and Android which features a revolutionary feature called On My Way NOW® which allows patients to notify an OrthoNOW® Center that they are en route, the reason they’re coming and what time they expect to arrive. OrthoNOW Doral is the flagship center is in located Doral Florida, with additional centers slated to open in Florida, Georgia, Dominican Republic and other locations.
