Rate and Review Alana K. Szany, DC

Office Tour

Dr. Alana Szany more commonly known to her patients and friends as “Dr. Alana.” She has been practicing in Alhambra and serving the San Gabriel Valley since 1990. Our office is Family owned and have been in Alhambra since 1952. I’ve seen the changes in the community and colleagues come and go but our office is not going anywhere, we are here to stay and serve the community. Her father Dr. Albert Szany and mentors taught her to always give back to the Communities in which she Practice and Live. That is way our office is involved in so many different community activities within Alhambra, San Gabriel, Arcadia, Monrovia, and surrounding cities.

Dr. Alana grew-up in this office and would often go to the office after school (San Gabriel School District) and come home with her father Dr. Albert Szany. Dr. Albert Szany began the practice in 1952 on Garfield Ave in Alhambra. He was an active member in the Alhambra Exchange Club, Elks Club, and Masonic Lodge in San Gabriel. The Alhambra & San Gabriel Chamber of Commerce, Extension Facility of Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, and Parker School of Professional Success. Dr. Albert Szany passed away in 1996 suddenly due to an aneurysm. It was then that Dr. Alana stepped up and took over the practice.

Dr. Alana is married to Sean Ostrander, Golf Fitness Trainer and together they have a Golf Training Program within the offices. Together they have four children and one grandchild. Mindy, Steven (son-in-law), Chris, Scott, Kelsey (Daughter-in-law), Madison and grandson Nicholas.

There is a satellite office located in Foothill Gym in Monrovia. Where they provide Wellness Care, Massage Therapy, 100 Year Life Style, and Golf Fitness Program is also offered in this location as well.

Serving the community as a Chiropractor is very rewarding, and Dr. Alana loves what she does. She is not only a Chiropractor but a teacher. Teaching her patients and community that they have choices to make about how they choose to live and their healthcare. We have bi-monthly classes at the office that are free and open to the public. Dr. Alana Szany is in agreement with Dr Eric Plasker, “Everyone deserves to be healthy and express their full potential from the time they are born through their last breath of life.” We invite you to explore our website and see all that office has to offer you and your family, and look forward to meeting you in person.
