        Very pleased with the information I received on my recent visit. Quite impressed with Dr. Gerlinger and his staff. I felt my examination was thorough. I agree with the doctor’s approach concerning the condition of my knee. Glad I took the shot. It’s helping already.

            Dr Tad Gerlinger did a total right hip replacement in March 2020. on my wife .My wife had a Laminectomy to relieve an impingement at L4.L5in February 2020 about 3 weeks prior to our first visit with Dr Gerlinger and although at first he said he did not have an opening for three months when he checked his surgery schedule he found an open slot in three days and said he could do the surgery in three days. He never explained that major surgeries should not be performed sooner than 3 months as the body has not healed in 3 weeks and there is a greater risk for complications when there has not been enough time to heal. My wife after 7 weeks post hip replacement never experienced pain relief and with each step she had severe pain. Dr Gerlinger never referred her to a pain specialist during that time period and when finally when I was able to get her the pain specialist he expressed anger that She was not referred sooner by Dr Gerlinger .My wife had never been referred to Physical therapy which I understand is a critical part of the post operative therapy and ia standard of care according to most Orthopedic Surgeons and Physical therapists.. When we saw Dr Gerlinger in 2 follow up visits he was not very interested in her and in fact at the last visit he said "that we could come back weekly if we wanted to but that Medicare would not pay for the visits and he stood up and walked out of the room clearly not caring about my wifes pain and not providing her with a followup. He was rude and for what ever reason had no caring of her disappointment with the visit and lis lack of empathy

                Dr. Gerlinger and his staff made sure that the preparation prior to surgery and the surgery itself made the entire process very easy. The daily text messages were very helpful in preparing for surgery and most certainly for healing and rehabilitation after surgery. I feel so much better than I did before surgery, thanks to the daily excercises and physical therapy. I am very happy with the level of care that I received.

                  Dr Gerlinger and staff are very professional, instilling confidence and safety. The text messaging service keeps you up to date on preoperative preparation and post operative recovery. Very helpful to know what to do and what to expect during the healing process. Appreciate their care and concerns.

                        Everyone was very friendly and professional. My examination was very thorough; and the doctor/his team explained what was wrong, my options for treatment, and once I decided on knee replacement, provided clear information about the process.

                            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.

                                  Dr. Gerlinger and his staff are nothing short of the Gold Standard in every aspect. This is my wife's second knee replacement, 1st one 7 years ago, and now 6 weeks ago. The confidence, professionalism, pre and post care is amazing. To have a Doctor and his staff so attentive, caring and responsive is unheard of in today's times. Now as for the socks, hmm we may need to work on those a little :) Thank you Doc, amazing job!

                                    The pre and post Tad Talk texts were the best. Really did help lessen a lot of anxiety. Dr. G and his team are a well oiled machine. Am 5 weeks out and slow and steady is a winning strategy so far.

                                      My complete knee surgery was performed August of 2022. Dr. Gerlinger had previously performed a knee replacement for my husband a few years earlier. His knee surgery was a complete success too. Dr. Gerlinger is an excellent surgeon and a true professional. I've been in the health care field for the past 40+ years and have never experienced a more highly efficient set of health care individuals. From the front desk, to his nurses, administrative staff, out patient sites, and loved his weekly encouraging and informative text messages from the beginning of my first office visit until my release back to work. Prompt email and phone call returns throughout my entire knee replacement journey. Everyone we encountered was truly concerned about my care and recovery and very professional! Highly recommed Dr. Gerlinger and his entire practice for all your orthopedic needs.

                                        Dr Gerlinger did a right knee replacement for me on 9/13/22 at the outpatient Rush Surgery Center in OakBrook, IL. The surgery went well, and I am very happy with the result so far. Pt is going well. I would highly recommend him as an orthopedic. His bio is remarkable, showing that he has helped so many people have a better quality of life. He is very professional and kind. His team also follows up immediately to answer any questions you may have. The care was great, and Dr. Gerlinger is an excellent surgeon.

                                            I Am So beyond Happy with Dr.Gerlinger. He seems like A very caring Dr & listens to all your concerns & makes sure to Reassure you if you have any concerns. I was very nervous 2 months out after my Partial Knee Replacement that I wasn’t going to get any better especially with the extreme stiffness that I was having. After discussing this with Dr.Gerlinger he definitely reassured me that things would improve with therapy & not to worry. I am 3 & 1/2 Months out I Am definitely improving but it’s been a slow rehab for me. This was an injury at work & being that I’m on my feet 8 hrs a day he has my back by listening to my concerns about returning to work too soon. Thanks Dr.Gerlinger for all your support through this, it’s been a very rough road & I Finally found A Dr who actually listens to me & has done everything to make things head in the right direction!!!!
