History
OAA is the oldest, private orthopaedic practice in the area dating back to 1970. We first opened our doors at 17th and Chew Street in Allentown and were led by former President and Founder, Dr. Peter Keblish. It was at this location and because of Dr. Keblish that our reputation for excellence began. Dr. Peter Keblish, was an extremely accomplished and internationally recognized orthopaedic surgeon, who specialized in hip and knee replacement. He was recognized as one of the major contributers to the development of mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty (otherwise known as total knee replacement) and in 1971, was the first surgeon in the Lehigh Valley to perform a total joint replacement procedure. Over the years our practice has grown geographically, offering locations in Allentown, Bethlehem and Lehighton, and we continue to increase the number of providers, musculoskeletal specialties, and employees at OAA, while maintaining our commitment to excellent patient care.
