We see you. We hear you. And promptly take care of you.

OrthoMissouri (or OrthoMO for short) is a brand-new musculoskeletal practice. We exist for you. There is no way around the human aspect of healthcare, so we have made it our promise is to see you, hear you, and take care of you. The catch is that we do all of this with efficiency knowing that timeliness makes the difference.

Our staff and physicians go above and beyond to make themselves available to you, which allows us to support you with our training and expertise. Timeliness ensures that we pull from our experience to make you a priority. The sooner we meet, the sooner you can get back to your best life.

Our orthopedic care spectrum

We recognize the unpredictability of pain and the urgency of care, which is why we ensure you receive prompt attention. Our physicians are specialists—they focus on specific areas of the body. This began in their fellowship training and extends to their practice today. You are in great hands with any of our physicians.

Occupational medicine—Dr. Malak specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries, illnesses, and harmful exposures in workers and can serve as an employer’s corporate medical director.

Sports medicine—Our physicians treat both athletes and non-athletes for injuries to the musculoskeletal system (your bones, muscles, and joints) without surgery.
