Dr. Alejandro Badia

My family has used Doctor Badia many times and we have referred to him to many people. I live in London and flew to Miami as I wanted to go to what is supposed to be the best. My brother and father have both gone to Dr Badia for emergency surgeries and have never had an issue until now. My brother recently had to have emergency surgery (per Dr Badia's observation) and because of that we pre-paid for the surgery as we have done in the past and have then been reimbursed by the insurance. Our insurance company has now said that the procedure is not covered by them and that Dr Badia's office was aware of this prior to the surgery and still went ahead and did the surgery knowing this and as a result are out of pocket over $8,000. Someone made a mistake in his office and is now trying to cover it up and we have tried to reach out to Dr Badia directly but have had no response. You can be a good surgeon but you have to also be a good person. I hope he has the courtesy to respond and… resolve but for now If you do decide to use Dr Badia do not make any prepayment as you will likely not be reimbursed. I will not be using Dr Badia again unless this is resolved and plan to let others know.

I have been suffering in chronic pain for well over a decade, perhaps a bit closer to a decade and a half. I have been to at least 10 surgeons in my home state of Missouri and one surgeon at Mayo Clinic, with none of them offering me a solution to my pain issues aside from taking opiates, which is not something I wanted to accept for a lifetime. I have tried NSAID’s, occupational therapy, PRP, stem cells, prolozone therapy, and just about every other non-surgical modality you can think of without any success. One day when I decided to look up “best hand surgeon in America” after being severely frustrated from chronic pain, I came across Dr. Badia. He has a section on his website where you can reach out to him prior to making an appointment and describe your issues to him. He is big on ensuring patients can reach his clinic in search of hope where other physicians may have failed them. In my initial contact, I advised Dr. Badia of the issues I’ve been experiencing and he offered me a… potential solution with a strong level of confidence that he could help me with my issues. I then came from St. Louis to Miami and had surgery three weeks later and now I can safely say I am pain free for the first time in well over a decade. I immediately woke up pain-free from surgery and could breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the suffering was finally behind me. What no other surgeon could do or was willing to do, Dr. Badia was willing to do. He immediately wanted to listen to what I had to say and was willing to treat me as a human with thoughts and emotions, and not just as another patient he could profit off of. He wanted to ensure I was comfortable with everything that was going on at all times during the treatment process and genuinely cares about his patients and truly is passionate about what he does. Thanks to Dr. Badia, my personal relationships are getting better, I am no longer constantly fatigued and miserable physically and mentally, I have reduced my medications by at least 75%, I’m happier, and I wake up almost instantly on a daily basis where I used to take several hours to fully wake up daily just from being in so much pain. I never realized just how fatigued I was from being in so much pain all because no doctor was willing to take a chance with me. Dr. Badia’s level of skill and expertise is unmatched and I have been to some of the top hand surgeons in Missouri - one of which was even world-renowned and wouldn’t help me with my issues because he wasn’t willing to take a chance when I was willing to take a chance. Dr. Badia never once made me feel like he was superior to me because he was the physician but wanted to work with me as a team to resolve my issues. Dr. Badia has the quintessential clinic setup. His office staff are like a well oiled machine and every bit of my experience went without hiccup, especially considering the COVID-19 pandemic. I will continue to use Dr. Badia for any hand to shoulder issues and would gladly go out to Miami again as opposed to taking any chances of not receiving top-notch service from a different physician. Dr. Badia sees the medical system for what it is and doesn’t believe the insurance companies should dictate patient care, but rather believes that the patient should receive the care they need in a timely manner, and has been working on a solution to orthopedic issues in South Florida by starting his own orthopedic urgent care called OrthoNOW. His views on medicine made my treatment much simpler than I feel it would’ve been had I received similar care in Missouri. He also has an orthopedic rehabilitation clinic, which helped provide me with greater chances of having a successful treatment. I have never been so satisfied with a physician in my life and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of quality medical care. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful man. Thank you, Dr. Badia. You are a true godsend.

It was really nice to receive an email from Dr Badia the next day after I requested an appointment online, confirming that my problem had a solution, and confirming his availability for the week I could travel to the US. I had cubital syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome with a pronounced muscular atrophy on my left hand. He performed endoscopic cubital tunnel and carpal tunnel release. My whole experience was excellent, his staff is amazing and the attention I received was great. I highly recommend Dr Badia.

Dr Badia made me feel at ease from the very 1st. He even offers extra support with a smartphone app that he has made himself for his patients. I am doing great now and would highly recommend him.

Two doctors missed my fracture in my shoulder, and Dr. Badia took his time, and found it.

I was injured at work and broke my wrist in 2 parts and Dr Badia did his best to accommodate my surgery as soon as my workers compensation adjuster called his office and explained my situation, the office staff were diligent very professional and courteous same as the staff in the clinic from the first moment I arrived there I went home with all the required medication and tools to start my recovery I’m so happy I chose Dr Badia whom was referred to me by a friend who also used his services

After going to md now with no results a friend told me about ortho now upon showing up the staff was friendly And exam was very clear they scheduled me for surgery. The day of surgery I was preped and explained how the predcidure was gonna go I felt good and again the staff was very professional. The operation was amazing with in 6 weeks I was felling. Much better and after 10 weeks I was almost back to normal it was a great feeling to know I was gonna heal the same as before my accident. The truth is I’m very greatful to the staff especially the office staff which made payments and office visits ez. So my advise anyone who needs anything ortho related make Tom mistake Dr.Badia is the man trust me.

Dr Badia is a great doctor Badia he did a great job on my shoulder. My experience with the shoulder is better than that everyone told me it would be. Thanks you Badia . Also The therapist are a great team. They give you a place where you want to come back to .thanks you.
