Horrible attitude, so unprofessional. Would never return.

Muy decepcionada, larguísima espera, maleducada la señorita del front office y El doctor no me pudo dar un diagnóstico claro, solo ofrecerme una infiltración por 1.300 dólares más de los US 550 que ya había pagado por la consulta.

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.

I was very impressed with this surgeon. I felt seen and comforted and he clearly knows his stuff and has built a team of great people around him. Would recommend!

Very disrespectful and long waits. Wait till the bill comes, the crooks at his office will charge you for everything under the sun, especially for things that were not performed. He has such a rotten attitude and doesn't mind being aggressive with patients. If you go to him, you will be in debt for life and your hand or arm issues will worsen significantly due to his lack of knowledge.
