Meet Dr. Marwin
Hand, Elbow, Shoulder & Joint Replacement Surgeon
For Dr. Victor Marwin, the most rewarding part of being an orthopedic surgeon is helping patients regain function and live pain-free. He is passionate about providing minimally invasive solutions that shorten recovery time and allow patients to return quickly to work, sports, and daily life. Patients often describe him as thorough, innovative, and compassionate, with a commitment to ensuring every patient feels educated and confident in their care journey.
His Approach to Care
Dr. Marwin believes that every patient should feel informed, confident, and supported throughout their care. He emphasizes minimally invasive surgical techniques, including leading the region in ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release, a procedure performed under local anesthesia with no stitches, allowing most patients to return to daily activities within days. He also trains other surgeons in this innovative approach.
Whenever possible, Dr. Marwin takes non-surgical approaches first, such as therapy or injections, but when surgery is recommended, he takes the time to explain the procedure thoroughly and answer every question so patients feel fully prepared and confident. His care philosophy combines innovation, research, and compassion, ensuring each patient receives the safest, most effective treatment available.
