I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Dr Gerlinger and Midwest orthopedics. Dr Gerlinger did an amazing job with my hip and I’m on my way to recovery. His patience and skill has put me in a much better place. I can go back to being an active person. His text messages answered so many of my questions. I am so happy with my results

Dr. Gerlinger is respectful of your concerns, he goes over your x-rays with you and explains to you next steps. I left confident of my treatment plan and what to expect. The staff that he works with are equally professional and the whole team makes your visit comfortable, non confusing and pleasant. Dr. Gerlinger is excellent and goes the extra step to make sure you have understanding of your issues and procedure plan. Under his care you get text messages routinely. It's great to let you know what to expect as you heal. Just an all inclusive layout for his patients. Thank you for all that you do.

Dear Dr. Gerlinger, Many thanks for your excellent service in replacing my right knee. So far, the result is good but I know I have to continue with physical exercise and walking for complete and enduring recovery. I value your friendly, courteous, and professional service during my entire treatment. You have an outstanding support team and I specifically wish the best to Ms. Jomary and Ms. Ilene for their prompt responses whenever I needed help. Please be rest assured, I will contact you first if I need my left knee replacement ( hopefully not).

My husband recently had a total knee replacement done by Dr. Gerlinger he can’t say enough great things about this doctor. He is fantastic and had such a smooth recovery process. Every single day the doctor and his care team would send text messages to see how he was doing and to give daily advice and it was so helpful. It’s been six weeks since his surgery and he is so thankful for this doctor. If you need this surgery we highly recommend Dr Gerlinger

From the surgical center to my 6 week appointment all was top notch. I loved the daily text messages and easy access to Dr G’s nurse. Thanks for getting me back on my feet.

I recently ad a partial knee replacement and everything has worked out better than I expected. I put off the surgery for a couple of years, which in retrospect was a mistake. Dr. Gerlinger and his entire staff were awesome, and I recommend Dr. Gerlinger at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush highly.

I researched and needed to find a 2nd opinion with pain and the inflammatory arthritis in my hip. I was so happy when I found Dr. Tad Gerlinger with Midwest Orthopaedics with Rush. From the start, I was comfortable with how he could help me return to my active lifestyle without the constant pain. He recommended a Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement and even provided informational videos and expectations. The outpatient surgery went very smooth with Dr. Gerlinger and his amazing team surrounding him. I was in by 9am and walking out on crutches by 1pm. My favorite part was the texting program provided during my rehabilitation. It was a great way to communicate to get tips, do's and don't, and even receive motivation to get through the day by day activities. I recommend Dr. Tad Gerlinger if you are planning on getting your painless lifestyle back again.

Dr. Gerlinger is a straight shooter! He tells you how things are and then let's you know what options are available. My knees are better for working with him even though he hasn't "touched" me with a scalpel.

Had knee replacement surgery and spent one night in the hospital. The staff was very friendly and attentive. After I was discharged I received daily text messages from Drs office checking on my progress providing videos of exercise I where I should be for 6 weeks after surgery. They were very helpful and kept me movidated.

I decided to engage the services of Tad Gerlinger MD (Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush) to perform hip replacement surgery because of a favorable recommendation of a good friend. Every step of my journey, before, during, and after surgery, was handled with efficiency, professionalism, courtesy, and outstanding communication by Dr. Gerlinger and his entire staff. Emails and phone calls were answered promptly and no questions were unanswered. Dr. Gerlinger provided a written, comprehensive and detailed outline and explanation of the process from pre-op advice through post-op therapy. I am three weeks into rehab and I am amazed by my progress thus far. I am fortunate to have very little pain or discomfort, owing, I believe, to the prep and precautions taken before, during, and after surgery. I look forward to getting back to my active lifestyle very soon.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the amazingly outstanding care and treatment I received from Dr. Tad Gerlinger and his team! First, I want to mention the text messages we received daily, pre-op and post-op, oftentimes more than one…What doctor does that?!?!? The text messages were very encouraging and the timing was always perfect. What’s vitally important to me is to know that I’m cared for. Love is not what one says, it’s what one does. Dr. Gerlinger loves his patience!!! I had a Total knee Replacement Revision performed by Dr. Tad Gerlinger September 26, 2022. I didn’t have not one moment of fear or anxiety. If I had a question or concern it was promptly addressed through a text (timely) or a returned phone call from his nurse Kelly. My surgery was amazing! My leg didn’t bruise and I had some swelling that didn’t last long…WOW!! Every challenge I faced (falling, pain, sleepless nights etc.) before the surgery is in my past. I’m now embracing my future and my new knee with joy!!! :)
