OPA Anchorage Hand Clinic
Specialized Care for the Hand, Wrist & Elbow
We focus exclusively on treating hand, wrist, arm and elbow conditions — and getting you back to work, play and pain-free life as quickly as possible.
Our hand specialists offer comprehensive surgical and non-surgical treatment options for numb, painful, arthritic or injured hands — including newer procedures that enable patients to get better faster.
All of our hand surgeons have fellowship training. Dr. Owen Ala and Dr. Alan Swenson completed fellowships in hand, upper extremity
and microvascular surgery. Dr. Jessie Janowski is fellowship trained in hand surgery. Together with their hand-focused physician
assistants and hand therapists, the team offers compassionate care to help patients regain function, alleviate painful conditions
and return to normal activities.
