Dr. Owen Lawrence Ala, MD

Was taken back very quickly and Aid was prompt with vitals. Doctor arrived soon after was not a long wait. He got the X-rays and diagnosed my issues quickly.

The staff was friendly and professional. When I had some questions they were good at answering the questions. They even called back in the same day when I called for some inquiries.

Dr Ala is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the mri results in a way that a novice can understand.

Very professional group of medical professionals at OPA. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ala’s for many years and really appreciate the professionalism in their work. OPA is a great medical facility for many medical needs. It’s great to be able to receive services right here in Soldotna, Alaska. Thank You All.

Kind, thoughtful, professional staff. Dr. Ala was knowledgeable "dialed-in" and reassuring.

Because Dr. Ala was too rushed to really take the time and assess my case, my dominant hand will never again be fully functional. Without the ability to bend my finger, I can no longer grasp well. My finger was quickly placed in a splint, the splint was removed, and now the joint will forever be frozen. I could have done what was done for me at home with the same results.

Dr Ala took the time to explain my diagnosis to me, answered my questions and didn’t make me feel rushed (even though I knew he was running behind). Great place!

I have a significant basil thumb injury. At this point it is bone on bone. Although it appears I’m pushing the limit on a soon-needed required surgery, Dr. Ala is patient and understanding to my apprehension for imminent surgery. After being in military for 30 years, I am extremely thankful to encounter a doctor who listens and is respectful of my concerns and is willing to guide me rather than push me through impending/required treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr. Ala.

From the initial interview to the completed surgery and follow up Dr. Ala deserved my full confidence in the procedure he recommended. I could not find fault with him or his staff and have had full recovery and function of my wrist following the surgery.
