"Dr. Copus is a consummate professional, well informed, caring, thoughtful and thorough. My marker for inflammation was very high and she is determined to discover the cause. I would highly recommend her if you need the attention of a superlative physician."
— Patient Testimonial for Dr. Cristina Copus"I use them for Rheumatology. Gianni can't seem to figure out how to call in my syringes. He keeps calling me in pin needles for diabetics to check sugar."
— Yelp user review for OPA Wasilla"First break ever, very impressed with surgeon Dr Swenson and staffs at OPA and Apline surgery center. He could have explained a bit better in initial consultation upon viewing the xray/CTs in office."
