Karina Marin, PA

Physician Assistant
95 Main Ave, Ste 210, Clifton, NJ
Karina LeStrange, PA-C is a board-certified physician assistant specializing in orthopedic spine and joint care. She evaluates patients recovering from injuries, managing persistent neck, back, or joint pain, considering treatment options, and returning for care before or after surgery. Her goal is to help each patient understand what may be causing their symptoms, which treatment options may be appropriate, and what the next appropriate step in their care should be. With more than seven years of clinical experience spanning neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, and pain management, Karina has cared for patients throughout every stage of treatment, from initial evaluation and conservative care to surgery and postoperative recovery. Her experience caring for patients before surgery, during surgery, and throughout recovery gives her a comprehensive understanding of the decisions patients make throughout their treatment. Karina believes patients deserve more than a diagnosis. They deserve a clear understanding of what it means and confidence in what comes next. She takes time to explain symptoms, imaging findings, and treatment options in understandable terms, discusses the reasoning behind each recommendation, and sets realistic expectations for recovery. She also understands that navigating today's healthcare system can be overwhelming and works closely with therapists, imaging specialists, and other healthcare professionals to help patients move through the next appropriate steps of their care without unnecessary delays or confusion. Her goal is for every patient to leave with greater clarity, not only about their diagnosis, but about what comes next and why. Before joining Progressive Spine & Orthopaedics, Karina helped establish the inaugural Surgical Physician Assistant Program at Hudson Regional Hospital and later held leadership responsibilities in clinical operations, quality improvement, compliance, and patient safety.
