About Dr. Badell
Dr. Badell received his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Indiana University where he was recognized as an academic founder’s scholar. He then went on to complete a master’s degree in biomedical science where he finished in the top of his class. Dr. Badell then attended Rosalind Franklin University in Chicago and earned his doctorate in podiatric medicine and surgery. He then went on to complete a comprehensive three-year trauma, reconstructive, and elective foot and ankle surgery residency at Community Health Network in Indianapolis. While in residency, Dr. Badell was exposed to a wide variety of surgical techniques throughout the lower extremity including trauma, arthritis care, deformity correction and reconstruction, peripheral nerve surgery, and limb salvage among many others.
Following residency training, Dr. Badell was chosen for the highly coveted fellowship position with Florida Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Center. This fellowship extensively covered all aspects of lower extremity surgery with a focus on trauma, complex deformity correction, total ankle replacement, and minimally invasive/arthroscopic procedures.
Dr. Badell has also been involved in academic research from his undergraduate education in psychology continuing into the present day. He has published in national journals and has won awards for his research at both national and regional academic conferences.
Dr. Badell takes pride in thoroughly explaining and discussing all possible treatment options with his patients. He wants each patient to be active in the decision making process and takes the time to create a treatment plan specific to each patient’s needs.
Outside of work, Dr. Badell is actively involved with the Special Olympics of Florida as the clinical director for Sarasota County for their FitFeet division. He enjoys golf, paddle boarding, and spending time with his wife and two mini-aussiedoodles.
