Starting at 7:30am, Dr. Alejandro Badia, masks up before speaking with one of his first patients of the day. In an effort to be efficient with his time and keep surgical costs down for his patients, Dr. Badia, runs three operating rooms simultaneously, moving from one OR to another. Badia said he will average around 14 surgeries a day when he has a full surgical schedule.
