Dr. Battista has performed bilateral arm surgery to correct nerve damage. Both surgeries have been exceptional, with very little pain. The office and staff are very courteous and explain the procedure and pre and post instructions very well. I felt prepared for both operations, and left recovery knowing what to expect. I would recommend Dr. Battista and his staff to anyone that not only needs surgery, but anyone suffering from neurological or orthopedic medical problems. I am retired military and have had numerous injuries and will continue all my care with OAA orthopedic and Dr. Battista.

Dr James Weiss did a wonderful job stabilizing my back with a fusion and 2 cages. When I needed a revision 20 years later, although retired from the OR,he helped me find a capable and willing surgeon who was in agreement with his method if addressing my severe spinal stenosis. My second surgery was also a success!

Dr Battista is a Doctor among Doctors. He takes the time to listen and his bedside manner is impeccable. Today was my surgery. Dr. Battista was prompt, on time and considerate of me and his other patients that were in the waiting pre op beds next to me. he was polite and clearly explained to me everything he was going to do without being in a hurry to get to the "next bed." He asked me if I had any questions and actually consulted with the anesthesiology team with me as part of the discussion as to which procedure he was going to perform first. I felt empowered and a big part of the decisions that were being made about me. It was nice to be a part of the discussion. When the surgery was over, Dr Battista was the first person to greet me in the recovery room. Perhaps by coincidence but all the same, he took the time to speak with me about how the procedure went and what to expect. he ALSO spoke with my significant other separately. I can not speak highly enough about Dr. Battista. A+

Dr. Battista was referred to me by a friend of mine who had his carpal tunnel surgery performed by him. Let me tell you that this was one of the best tips I received in my life. I had been suffering with carpal tunnel numbness for three years before seeking out Dr. Battisa. After an initial visit and a follow up for testing I had surgery scheduled for March 09th... I was a little apprehensive about the amount of down time that I may have to endure after surgery but decided to move forward. Well I had surgery on my left hand about 7am.. sitting in the dinner having breakfast with my wife at 9:30 am... rested up for the rest of the day and I was back to work the next day!! Business as usual. Very little associated pain and I have been able to sleep for the first time in three years. The man is a true professional and gentleman! Please don't hesitate to have this life changing surgery performed by Dr. Battista. Paul J. Kaspriskie Jr.

From my first visit for my terribly broken finger, Dr. Battista instilled confidence that he would be able to repair the fracture and support my healing journey to full function. He did just that and more. Dr. Battista's surgical work is exceptional; he was able to align the break and secure the healing bones with three tiny, tiny screws, all percutaneously, without an incision. Following the operation, he was clear about the pathway I would need to take for regaining full function, and he guided me to a wonderful hand therapist who had me making a full fist within just a few weeks. Dr. Battista also informed me that some patients can make a fist within a month; he clearly knew this would inspire me to work hard during OT, and later let me know that this was a statement intended to motivate. It certainly did! Dr. Battista cared about my goals as a patient, was transparent and compassionate while delivering his surgical approach, and was extremely motivating and encouraging that a full return to form and function would be possible. Finally, his staff and colleagues at OAA were efficient, comforting, and knowledgable throughout the process. I highly recommend his care, or that of any of the doctors at OAA.

OAA and Dr. Battista are number 1 in my book. At OAA you are a person and treated as one, not like the two big hospitals in the Lehigh Valley only see $$$. I highly recommend Dr. Battista he listens to you and hears you. I have had numerous surges at OAA and hope I never have to go anywhere else.

I have been a patient of Dr. Battista for several years dating back to 2015. He has performed 4 hand surgeries to date all with excellent outcomes. My visit today was for osteoarthritis in my right thumb. Dr. Battista presented 2 options for me, one was wearing a thumb brace and the other was surgery. I chose the former to see if that would alleviate the pain I was experiencing. So far, so good. I highly recommend Dr. Battista for any lower extremity issues.
