      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

        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).

          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.

                        My son had surgery on his hip. 1-17-2023. I cannot say how impressed I was with the Gold Coast SurgiCenter! It was very well organized, everyone was so friendly & helpful if any questions. The process just flowed nicely. Our Anesthesiologist & PA were informative and answered all our questions and were so enjoyable to talk to. Can’t say enough re Dr Chahla he is definitely a great surgeon! We are lucky to have such expertise. I would definitely.. highly recommend him!!

                            Dr. Gerlinger is awesome. He performed knee replacement surgery on my right knee.He is very knowledgeable ,excellent doctor/patient relationship skills, skilled surgeon, and sincere. His support staff is also excellent. I participated in a research study and found my interactions with his research coordinator excellent. Yearly reviews were clear, concise, short and pleasant. Jomary also helped me in setting up appointment for consult with Dr. Gerlinger on other knee. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. GERLINGER.

                              I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gerlinger and his entire team. I had my right knee replaced and the entire process has been smooth and supportive. I loved the text messages sent by his office as I have enjoyed both the motivational texts as well as additional exercises with targets each week. They really helped me stay focused on my recovery. I am looking forward to scheduling my left knee replacement very soon.

                                Dr Gerlinger and his staff were extremely communicative for the entire 6 weeks post-op. The text system used was exceptional and walks u thru rehab milestones and exercises. I happen to have a harder rehab since I needed 2 knee replacements(1 down , 1 to go 1st qtr 2023. This was conveyed to me pre-op. I have to shout out to all the PT's at Rush in Oakbrook as well. All aspects pre/post op are very well run!

                                  I’m 66 and need full replacements in both knees. I’m 6 weeks from my first surgery. The other knee to be operated on Feb’ 23. I was told repeatedly that I would do great. And I did do very well- The key for me was following Dr. G’s text messages and finding the best Physical Therapist possible. Those 2 features will result in a successful outcome. It did for me. Everybody at MOR was great. Thanks so much. Trust the process…it works!!

                                      Dr. Gerlinger and his staff went above and beyond my expectations. They are very professional, always punctual and extremely pleasant to deal with. I would highly recommend them to anybody in need of hip surgery. Mine was virtually painless and very easy to recover from. His daily texts were extremely helpful.

                                        If you have any knee pain, consult Dr. Gerlinger. If the partial knee replacement is right for you it is a great solution with much easier recovery than the full replacement. On top of that, extremely organized, professional, and ensure you are well taken care of. Highly recommend.

                                          Precise and competent surgeon and staff. Had both my knees replaced in 2017/2018 several months apart at age 25. Staff explained and put me at ease. I'v been working out, climbing,swimming walking etc. with very good results. Was depressed thinking what I had to get done these major surgeries and what life would be after. God bless this surgeon and the staff along with everyone at Rush.
