Virtual DMOS
At DMOS Orthopaedic Centers, we know injuries and pain are often unexpected, but we make it our mission to ensure you’re never uncertain about how to proceed following pain onset. Virtual DMOS offers free online orthopedic consultations in the Des Moines metro to alleviate initial concerns after your injury. Does it require professional attention? Is it urgent? Should you brace yourself for a long day at the ER? Through Virtual DMOS, you have the option to upload photos of your injury and describe your symptoms and pain. We quickly connect you to one of our orthopedic specialists for on-demand care and treatment recommendations. Whether it’s a follow-up with one of our physicians or a trip to one of our Urgent Injury Clinics, we provide early peace of mind and point you in the right direction. If you don’t know where to go or what you need to start healing, Virtual DMOS is our quick, free tool to position you on the fast-track to pain relief.
Get Started With Virtual DMOS
Virtual DMOS is our online orthopedic care platform where our professionals connect with you in-real time via text or video chat for an initial injury or pain assessment. Free and available to use regardless of if you’ve seen a DMOS provider previously or not, Virtual DMOS enables orthopedic care on demand. If you’re facing a strain, pain or fracture and unsure what to do next, Virtual DMOS initiates a free online orthopedic consultation with access to a specialist who can review photos of your injury and help you determine when to see an orthopedic doctor or pursue another course of action. Please note it is not meant to replace an in-person exam or comprehensive medical evaluation with our providers. It simply provides a streamlined path to treatment that doesn’t require long hours in a waiting room or worries that you’re not doing enough to address your injury at home. When in doubt, our virtual orthopedics platform gives you a starting point with a real local provider prioritizing your needs on the other end.
To access online orthopedic care via Virtual DMOS, visit our platform and provide information about yourself and your injury as prompted to start chatting with a provider. Here's what to expect from our virtual orthopedics experience:
No matter the outcome, we’ll ensure you have what you need to feel confident following your free online orthopedic consultation. Here’s what to expect next, depending on what the provider suggests moving forward:
If your injury or pain doesn’t appear to be urgent, your virtual orthopedics provider will help you schedule an appointment with one of our orthopedic professionals for an official assessment, which may include diagnostic imaging to identify the source of your pain. Our providers work across a variety of specialties to diagnose and treat issues from neck to toe, so we can refer you to the best provider for your needs. Whether it’s a visit with one of our physicians or orthopedic surgeons or a referral to our physical therapy team, we’ll connect you with follow-up care and get you one step closer to healing.
For urgent injuries or sudden pain that won’t seem to go away, your on-demand orthopedic care consultant will point you to one of our three Urgent Injury Clinic locations across the Des Moines metro. With locations in Ankeny, Urbandale and West Des Moines, our Urgent Injury Clinics accept walk-ins six days a week for your convenience. Virtual DMOS is a great place to start if you’re unsure about the severity of your injury because we’ll let you know if it needs immediate attention and where to go to get it seen the same day.
If you prefer to recover in the comfort of your own home and we don’t recommend urgent action, our online orthopedic care professionals can equip you with at-home instructions to take care of your injury or minimize pain. Virtual DMOS empowers you to ask questions of our providers and talk through your options if the pain doesn’t go away on its own. And if that happens, you can still schedule an appointment at your convenience. We’ll never leave you hanging and ensure you’re not alone in your pain.
Virtual DMOS isn’t designed to take your pain away, but it is a helpful first step to get guidance on your injury and peace of mind going forward. We’ll let you know if and when you need to see an orthopedic doctor so you’re not left waiting it out uncertainly at home. Consider consulting us for on-demand orthopedic care if you:
