Mountain Valley Orthopedics Launches OrthoChat Now for 24/7 Access to Specialists

Mountain Valley Orthopedics, the region's most preferred orthopedic practice, is proud to announce its new 24/7 orthopedic provider chat access, OrthoChat Now. Using a web application, area residents who have sustained a bone, joint or muscle injury will have access to free one-on-one consultations with an orthopedic specialist. Area residents seeking follow-up care for bone, joint and muscle pain and sports injuries are encouraged to call 570-421-7020 to schedule an appointment at the practice’s main location at 600 Plaza Court C. Appointments are also available at Mountain Valley Orthopedics’ offices in Tobyhanna at 100 Community Drive, Suite 210, in Brodheadsville at 120 Burrus Blvd., Suite 120, and in Milford at 100 Wheatfield Drive, Suite 2.

The new OrthoChat Now is a service that helps people get expert orthopedic advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year free of cost. When patients use the service, they interact with a provider who has in-depth knowledge of orthopedic care. The provider offers real-time support and can often prevent costly emergency room visits. Unlike other services, OrthoChat Now provides genuine human interaction without automated assistance. OrthoChat Now uses the following process for each patient:

• Detail and describe the concern.
• Share basic contact information.
• Chat with a trained clinician.
• Get care recommendations.

“At Mountain Valley Orthopedics, we are committed to giving our patients and our community the access they need to the specialized orthopedic care they deserve,” said Dr. Frederick Barnes, board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Mountain Valley Orthopedics. “Using OrthoChat Now means that we can offer better expert availability that will help area patients get the right care as soon as possible.”
