Growing up in central Pennsylvania, Dr. Robert Wertz knew that he wanted to be a doctor at an early age while listening to his father, who is a general surgeon, talk about his work and accompanying him on rounds at the hospital. It wasn’t until medical school, however, that Dr. Wertz became interested in pain management after seeing how patients’ lives were transformed by alleviating them of the burden of chronic pain.
Dr. Wertz moved to the Lehigh Valley in 1996 after completing his residency in Anesthesiology at the Pennsylvania State University and a fellowship in Pain Management at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. In joining OAA, he brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in treating patients with a variety of painful conditions, both acute and chronic. These include chronic and acute back pain, sciatica, neck pain, spinal fractures, neuropathic pain (nerve pain), cancer pain, and more.
While a medical student at Hershey Medical Center, Dr. Wertz developed an interest in clinical research and won the prestigious Howard E. Morgan award for basic science research. In his practice since coming to the Lehigh Valley, he has participated in numerous clinical trials of novel pain therapies as either a principle or sub-investigator. His interest in current research brings cutting-edge treatments to the patients for whom he cares.

Dr. Wertz and OAA is the best in the valley. Everyone is so professional, so friendly and very detail oriented as you would expect in the surgery center. I’ve been going there for four years and I would never ever go anywhere else for my treatment.
Excellent and caring!
No complaints except that the procedure waiting and surgical areas were cold.
Very professional and superb doctor
excellent before surgery he explained everything that was going to be done and how i may feel afterwards which was good that i knew again excellent
He was very nice and careing. I was at ease!
My fourth time. He is spot on and very professional
As always Dr. Wertz was patient, listened to my new complaints regarding my pain and offered another possible treatment which I agreed to doing. He has helped me for years but as time goes by the pain seems to change. I happy he is willing to try something new.
He and the staff are excellent
Every time I go to him he is very informative and make sure you know thaexactly what he is doing . And cares about his patience
