Health and Fitness : Virginia Gay Hospital Welcomes Fellowship-Trained Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Haben

Virginia Gay Hospital is pleased to welcome Dr. Collin Haben, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in total joint replacement, to its outpatient orthopedic clinic. Dr. Haben brings advanced surgical training and a patient-first approach to joint care, helping individuals return to the activities they enjoy with less pain and greater confidence.

Dr. Haben’s clinical interests include anterior approach hip replacement, technology-assisted joint replacement, revision joint replacement, minimally invasive and muscle-sparing techniques, and rapid recovery protocols. His focus is on providing modern, evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s individual goals and lifestyle.

Dr. Haben will see patients in the outpatient clinic and perform surgeries at Virginia Gay Hospital on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesdays of each month.

Dr. Haben began his medical journey at the University of Akron, where he earned dual degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Biochemistry. This strong scientific foundation led him to pursue a career in orthopedic surgery. He earned his medical degree from Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his orthopedic residency at Western Reserve Hospital, where he gained broad experience in fracture care, sports injuries, and comprehensive musculoskeletal treatment.

Following residency, Dr. Haben completed advanced fellowship training in total joint surgery at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During his fellowship, he refined his expertise in anterior approach hip replacement, robotic-assisted joint replacement, complex joint reconstruction, and muscle-sparing, minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Growing up in the Midwest instilled in Dr. Haben a strong appreciation for community and service. He is proud to call Cedar Falls, Iowa home and looks forward to serving patients throughout the Cedar Valley.

Outside of the clinic and operating room, Dr. Haben enjoys spending time outdoors and with his wife and two young children. He is excited to become part of the Cedar Valley community and  Virginia Gay Hospital and to build long-lasting relationships with his patients through compassionate, high-quality orthopedic care.
