TruOrtho welcomes Dr. Alaina Brelin

TruOrtho is thrilled to announce the newest addition to our team of world-class orthopaedic surgeons—Dr. Alaina Brelin. With her extensive training and experience, Dr. Brelin brings a wealth of knowledge and skill in joint reconstruction, specializing in minimally invasive hip and knee procedures.

Dr. Brelin's journey to TruOrtho is a story of dedication, resilience, and outstanding expertise. After completing her medical education at Northeast Ohio Medical University and her residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Dr. Brelin served as an Orthopaedic Surgeon in the United States Army, including a deployment to Afghanistan. Her time in the military not only honed her surgical skills but also instilled in her a deep commitment to patient care and precision.

What makes Dr. Brelin's addition to TruOrtho particularly exciting is her unique background. Unlike many of her peers, Dr. Brelin did not follow the conventional path of joining a group practice after her military service. Instead, she took on the opportunity to advance her skills and experience in the field of joint reconstruction at Texas Orthopaedic Hospital/Fondren Orthopaedic Group in Houston, TX.

Recognizing her talent, Dr. Amanda Marshall-Rodriguez, founder of TruOrtho, personally mentored Dr. Brelin in advanced minimally invasive techniques for hip and knee replacements. This mentorship has now blossomed into a professional partnership, with Dr. Brelin joining TruOrtho in collaboration with South Texas Spine & Surgical Hospital.

We are confident that Dr. Brelin will continue to uphold TruOrtho's tradition of excellence, bringing her own blend of skill, compassion, and dedication to every patient she treats. If you or a loved one is in need of expert orthopaedic care, particularly for hip or knee issues, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with Dr. Brelin today. Together, we're committed to helping you live a pain-free and active life.
