OrthoNOW®, The Nation’s Only Orthopedic Urgent Care Franchise, Announces the Opening of their Coral Way location

Miami, Florida, OrthoNOW®, the nation’s only orthopedic urgent care franchise, has announced the re-opening of their Coral Way location under new administration. Coral Way becomes the newest OrthoNOW Center in the Greater Miami area, just minutes away from Brickell Avenue, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and The Roads.

The concept was conceived in 2010 by Miami-based hand and upper extremity surgeon, Alejandro Badia, MD, FACS. Dr. Badia realized that when patients visit a hospital emergency room with orthopedic issues, they are evaluated, x-rayed to then be discharged and referred to an orthopedic Comprar cialis generico barato en españa specialist. By the same token, general urgent care centers were not able to provide the specialized expertise that allowed for definitive diagnosis and treatment of the patients. That’s when he decided to create an immediate solution that eliminated the ER middleman. By offering a single source orthopedic care center, patients would experience better outcomes, lower costs and quicker recovery.

Dr. Alejandro Badia will be serving as Coral Way’s new Medical Director, a role he’s also had in the OrthoNOW flagship location in Doral, FL. Additionally to being an internationally renowned


orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Badia has served as the worldwide president of ISSPORTH and co-founded the globally recognized Miami Anatomical Research and Training Center (M.A.R.C.) and The Surgery Center at Doral, an elite state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center.

“Seven years ago, I began this journey with a vision of disrupting the orthopedic health care delivery system and I am both humbled and thrilled to see it transpire” said OrthoNOW’s CEO. He continued, “Due to unfortunate and grave administrative circumstances the Coral Way location had to close its doors last year, however, with much eagerness, we made it our mission to reestablish the Center in this important corridor. I am elated to be able to take on the role of Medical Director and continue providing our patients with the best orthopedic care”.

Like the Doral, Biscayne and Aventura locations, the OrthoNOW Coral Way Center will offer digital x-ray services, ultrasound and laboratory services, fracture care and casting, sports medicine, arthritis care, and preventative plans for employers. This re-opening comes at the same time as the organization’s national expansion, with OrthoNOW awarding its first Master Franchise Agreement in Michigan and simultaneously signing an Area Development Agreement in Augusta, Georgia.
