In addition to his win, The South Florida Business & Wealth Magazine recently awarded Irizarry with the Up & Comer Award.

“I am humbled and honored to have received this award, however, this award belongs to a lot of people. I want to thank all of those who’ve had the collective vision to change how healthcare is being delivered, and the tenacity to fight that fight everyday because it is not easy. I also want to thank the communities that have embraced us and seen us as leaders in the healthcare space”, said Irizarry.
OrthoNOW’s flagship center is in Doral, FL. The organization has franchised centers throughout Florida and Georgia, with new centers slated to open in Michigan and Ohio, among other locations.
