What To Expect

You’ll be seen by a certified orthopedic physician assistant with advanced training and expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic (muscle, bone and joint) injuries. An OPA on-call surgeon is available for immediate consultation as needed. On-site x-ray and other imaging services ensure patients receive quick, personalized care that includes a diagnosis, treatment plan and any necessary stabilization devices such as crutches, braces or casts to get you on the road to recovery.

On-site Support Services:

• X-Ray
• Fluoroscopy
• MRI & CT (On site in Anchorage; nearby in the Valley; if not available at the time of your visit, you may need to schedule these for a later date.)
• Diagnosis & Treatment Plans
• Casting & Splinting
• Braces, Crutches, and other Supports

If Surgery is Indicated:

An OPA surgeon is always on call for a consultation or emergency surgery. If urgent surgery is needed, the OPA on-call surgeon can immediately admit you to a hospital and meet you there within minutes to perform the surgery.
