Badia Hand to Shoulder Center

My experience with Dr Badia was superb! From the initial consult, where he answered all my questions and explained the procedure very well, I have had a very good experience. The carpal tunnel release surgery, in his surgical center, went extremely well. The nurses, and the anesthesiologist and his staff were all wonderful! I felt totally comfortable under their care. My recovery has been excellent! I had NO pain after my surgery!! I never needed to take pain pills at all. Amazing to me! I have already (one week post op) found myself using my hand to do things I haven't been able to do for 6 months. Thank you Dr Badia, and your staff, for an excellent job!! Merle Cook

I am Felecia's husband who was the actual patient. I suffered for several years with limited mobility in my right thumb that significantly degraded my ability to type and play the piano. Over the years I saw three orthopedic doctors and clinics in the area where I live in Virginia and they all said it was typical arthritis and there was nothing that could be done. I was sure the condition could be improved so after a lot of online research I found Dr. Badia. From the first time I called his office, I was impressed with the professionalism, efficiency, and responsiveness of Susan and the others on his staff who helped me set up an online consultation with Dr. Badia and then schedule the surgery. The week of surgery which consisted of several pre- and post- appointments as well as the actual operation was very well organized and smoothly carried out. My wife and I who had driven to Miami from Virginia for the procedure were treated with consideration throughout the week we spent down there. My hand's recovery started very quickly and to my surprise I had almost no post-surgery pain. The swelling was largely gone in about 4 days and I started doing the preliminary movements advised by Dr. Badia's CHT. Except for stiffness and occasional slight discomfort in the thumb joint that was operated on, my right hand is back to normal and I was back to work in less than a week (wearing the hand brace I was given). I start therapy with a CHT near my home next week so time will tell if the procedure completely cures the problem I had. However, my experience with Dr. Badia and his staff to this point has far exceeded my expectations and we were very impressed at how smoothly it all went.

We brought our 17 year old son to Dr. Badia for a hand injury suffered playing baseball. From the moment we walked in to the office, everyone was kind and attentive. He ended up needing surgery and the entire process was extremely smooth and again, everyone we came in contact with was amazing. We had been to other doctors for this same injury several years ago and the injury kept getting misdiagnosed so it was great that Dr. Badia diagnosed the problem and took care it so my son doesn’t have to deal with it anymore.
