I have been suffering in chronic pain for well over a decade, perhaps a bit closer to a decade and…read morea 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.

Great doctor and a great experience overall. Dr Badia has combination of extreme intelligence and…read moreexcellent bedside manner with patients. He is exceptionally skilled and has an impressive training resume/CV. Dr Badia was highly recommend to me by another hand surgeon about 2 hours north. I am a veterinarian and I need my hands to be 100% to allow me to perform surgery on my furry four legged patients. The other hand surgeon I initially went to see for my injury said that he would recommend I go to Dr Badia because of his skill level and high case load. The particular injury I had was not super common in the general population, and was associated more with athletes. Dr Badia is out of network for all health insurance policies. So you will likely end up paying more out of pocket than you would with other doctors. But in my opinion, it's worth investing in yourself to ensure the best possible outcome for your injury. I'm still in the recovery phase, so I can speak yet on the outcome...but so far so good. The staff is all very kind and helpful.

It took about 30 minutes to fill out all of their forms. After that I waited about fifteen minutes to be called back. The staff from the x-ray tech to the nurse were absolutely delightful! I felt very welcomed. Dr. Bridges has a fantastic bedside manner and really listened to me. He took his time examining my MRI. I felt confident in what he explained to me. He ended up draining my knee and he was very gentle and explained everything he was doing and asked if I was doing ok throughout the procedure. The whole experience was as pleasant as it could be. Needless to say, I liked him so much that I am going back for my shoulder issues next week. I highly recommend Dr. Bridges and his practice!

Dr. Gottlieb is not only an outstanding surgeon, but also a truly caring human being. He listened to me, reassured me when I was scared, and always took the time to explain things clearly and patiently. His calm presence and genuine concern gave me confidence and peace of mind when I needed it most. His team was just as exceptional, kind, attentive, and always supportive. I never felt like just another patient. Thanks to their expertise and humanity, my recovery is going very well, and I feel hopeful and thankful. I cannot recommend Dr. Gottlieb and his team enough.

Needless to say I know many, many, physicians in all walks of sub specialties including neurology and orthopedics. Keara had gone to physio, pain specialists, got nerve blocks, etc. Her MRI clearly indicated a herniated disc with possible nerve compression. She couldn't sit, sleep, or stand for any long period for almost nine months. I immediately thought of Dr. Gottlieb! Dr. Gottlieb and his staff are remarkable!! Dr. Gottlieb has probable one of the most professional demeanor I have ever had the pleasure of being witnessed to. Keara was so calm, the surgery was about an hour done in an outpatient center at Mercy Hospital. She is back at work and getting ready to begin strengthening rehab. I strongly recommend Dr. Gottl December 30,2019 My daughter is at 98% full strength 90 days post op!! All is perfect for her and she still is glowing about Dr. Gottlieb!

From the very first consultation, Dr. van der Ven made us feel seen, heard, and fully supported. He took the time to understand my mother's situation, patiently explained every step of the procedure, and addressed all of our concerns with clarity and kindness. He personally called my mother the day before her surgery. That simple, thoughtful gesture eased her fears more than anything else could have. It showed not only his professionalism but also the depth of his compassion. It meant the world to our family. The complexity of her condition required a surgeon with tremendous skill and confidence, and Dr. van der Ven delivered exactly that. His surgical precision and attention to detail quite literally changed my mother's life. Her recovery has been nothing short of remarkable, a testament to his exceptional talent and commitment to doing what's best for his patients. Beyond his surgical skills, what stood out most was his humanity. He spoke to my mother with genuine care and made what could have been an overwhelming and frightening experience feel manageable and hopeful. Every member of his team reflected the same professionalism and warmth, which speaks volumes about his leadership and values. If you or a loved one is in need of an orthopedic surgeon, I cannot recommend Dr. Alexander van der Ven highly enough. He is a phenomenal physician and an extraordinary human being.

I started developing left hip pain and my GP gave me a referral to this physician. I first had an…read moreappointment with the physicians assistant who thought I was a candidate for left hip replacement. The assistant sent me for an mri and return to see him after the mri. When I arrived for 2nd exam, the assistant was able to get the physician to evaluate me, even though I had no appointment to see him. After I saw the physician he approved my left hip replacement. The day before surgery I received a phone call from the surgeon asking me if I was ready for surgery and if I had any questions. I thought it was a classy move by the physician to call me prior to surgery. I arrived at hospital at 5:30 am and at 8 am they were taking me into the surgical suite. By 12:30 pm I was released. To make things easier, the hospital pharmacy filled my scripts saving us time obtaining the scripts. The physician and all the staff were friendly and excellent. Right after the surgery my groin pain is already better. A few hours after I got home I started to read the printed material that I received from the hospital that explains in detail everything from the procedure, the exercises to do, phone to rehab department and a complete list of all medications I received and how much to take and how often. I have had numerous surgeries to different body parts and I never received a complete package like today. I am impressed. I highly recommend this surgeon. It's tough to get a surgeon who is excellent and has great bed side manners and this surgeon has both.

It got to the point that I had to go to urgent care to then go to a podiatrist to then be told I needed physical therapy. Luckily for me, I got sent to Florida Occupational Healthcare. For a month, three times a week, I had therapy at 7 in the morning. To begin with, I'm not even a morning person, yet these people made it worth my while. I didn't dread coming in the morning. I was always treated with kindness and respect. From the receptionists to the physical therapists, every single person working has a smile on their face. Not to mention that one of the therapists, Danny, makes some amazing coffee. That aside, my therapist was Alain and I'm grateful that he was with me in my journey to fully recover from my sprained ankle. He wasn't just my therapist, he was someone who pushed me to do better in and out of therapy. I don't doubt that now that I return to the gym I will be taking with me some of the exercises I did at physical therapy. All in all, I'm glad that if I had to get physical therapy, I got sent here. They treat you like family. I'm happy I've healed, but I'll miss everyone. I guess with that, I have one thing left to say: Thank you, all, for doing what you do.
