Why Patients Are Turning to Dr. Brelin for Hip and Knee Surgery


Dr. Brelin brings elite military training, advanced fellowship experience, and a dedication to minimally invasive techniques that speed up recovery and reduce pain. She was mentored by Dr. Amanda Marshall-Rodriguez, a world-recognized leader in hip and knee replacement surgery, and now works alongside her at TruOrtho.

Fellowship-Trained Expertise with a Personal Touch


After completing her residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Dr. Brelin served as an orthopaedic surgeon in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Afghanistan. Her experience under high-pressure environments shaped her commitment to precision and detail — qualities that now benefit her civilian patients every day. She then completed a prestigious fellowship at Fondren Orthopaedic Group/Texas Orthopaedic Hospital.

Her specialties include:

 • Minimally invasive hip replacements

 • Total knee replacements

 • Revisions of failed implants

 • Joint preservation and reconstruction

Whether you're in pain from arthritis, injury, or wear and tear over time, Dr. Brelin’s goal is to restore your mobility — and your quality of life — with personalized surgical and non-surgical care.
