Revolutionizing Orthopedic Care: OrthoNOW and Redwood Growth Partners Join Forces

Transforming Healthcare in Florida: OrthoNOW's New Partnership

The landscape of healthcare in Florida is set to change dramatically, thanks to OrthoNOW's recent collaboration with Redwood Growth Partners (RWGP). Founded by Dr. Alejandro Badia, who also heads the Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, OrthoNOW is already a recognized leader in orthopedic urgent care in South Florida. With RWGP's investment and expertise, they aim to broaden their reach and provide specialized orthopedic care to a burgeoning number of patients.

A Vision for Expansion

OrthoNOW has been a pioneer in the field of orthopedic urgent care since its inception. It has garnered a stellar reputation for delivering swift, expert treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, catering to a growing need in the region. Currently, the network operates two clinics in Miami—one in Doral and another on Biscayne Boulevard—with a third location set to open in Coral Gables. Serving over 10,000 patients every year, these clinics provide walk-in access to immediate diagnosis and treatment for a wide array of issues, such as sprains, fractures, arthritis, and back pain. Each facility is equipped with on-site X-ray imaging and MRI access, supported by a team of clinicians who specialize in musculoskeletal treatments.

Dr. Badia emphasizes the necessity for immediate access to orthopedic care. “Our partnership with RWGP embodies a shared vision aimed at enhancing orthopedic access throughout Florida, starting with Miami,” he explains. This strategic collaboration aims to expedite plans for a network expansion, bringing the total to more than ten clinics across the state, ensuring that residents will have a reliable option for their urgent orthopedic needs.

Addressing Healthcare Challenges

A significant challenge in the healthcare sector is the long wait times patients face for specialized treatment. Studies indicate that around 70% of individuals who visit general urgent care for musculoskeletal issues are referred to an orthopedic specialist, leading to an average wait of 17 days before they can receive necessary care. This delay not only frustrates patients but can complicate their conditions.

OrthoNOW aims to remedy this by allowing patients to receive immediate treatment without the cumbersome referral process. By addressing lower-complexity cases on the spot, OrthoNOW not only alleviates the burden faced by urgent care centers and emergency rooms but also ensures that orthopedic specialists can devote their time to more complex cases. Dr. Badia notes, “At OrthoNOW, we eliminate barriers by providing fast and specialized treatment, allowing patients to walk in and be on their way to recovery within an hour.”

Pain Management Redefined

Apart from urgent care for injuries, OrthoNOW is committed to addressing both acute and chronic pain conditions. Many patients often avoid seeking help due to high costs or the hope that their problems will resolve themselves. To combat this, OrthoNOW provides competitive pricing and an efficient process that facilitates quick diagnoses and treatment. The clinics' multilingual staff, fluent in both English and Spanish, further enables them to support Florida’s diverse community, ensuring that care is accessible to all.

Barry Tanner, a partner at Redwood Growth Partners, emphasizes this accessibility, stating, “Our mission is straightforward: no one should have to endure pain when the right care can be provided immediately.”

Future Prospects

Looking forward, OrthoNOW envisions a significant expansion throughout Florida, including key areas like Fort Lauderdale and beyond, aiming to bring its unique model of care to even more residents. John Nantz, also a founder and partner at RWGP, adds, “Miami is just the beginning of our mission. We aim to replicate this effective and specialized care model across the nation.”

As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, innovative partnerships like the one between OrthoNOW and Redwood Growth Partners herald a new era of patient-first care. The message is clear: pain and injuries don't wait, and neither should patients. With state-of-the-art facilities and a commitment to immediate care, OrthoNOW is poised to become a household name.
