Evaluation and diagnosis was very clear. Explanation of the surgery was straightforward. High level of communication helped me feel more confident. Surgery went very well with immediate relief from arthritic pain. Helpful post op texts and reminders to guide recovery. Excellent staff /associates were positive and supportive throughout. Most importantly - very good results from the surgery.

I had a partial knee replacement in October 2022, I found Dr, Gerlinger to be straightforward, friendly and professional. He and his staff answered all my questions thoroughly, and I found the daily text messages to be quite helpful and encouraging. Should I need to have my other knee replaced in the future, I will absolutely go back to Dr. Gerlinger. Highest recommendation!

Dr. Gerlinger and his medical team did both of my Partial Knee Replacements this year. So well in fact that after each surgery I was walking around without crutches after the 3rd day. I'm 56 and didn't expect both knees to recover so fast. I just want to personally thank Dr. Gerlinger and his team for their professionalism and friendly attention to my needs. Honestly I couldn't ask for more, I received the best of care.

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!!! :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Brett Levine is my orthopedic surgeon. He is very knowledgeable, always puts me at ease. His examination is thorough and he always gives me confidence in my knee revision. I am very satisfied with the results that I have from my operation. my prognosis is good! Couldn’t ask for a better doctor.
