Dr. Gerlinger was very professional. We are both retired US Army and got along great. The minimally invasive technique that he uses was great for my replacement. I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering surgery.

Dr Gerlinger’s bedside manner was very kind and caring during my first exam and visited right before my surgery to assure me all will be fine and after the surgery came into my room to ask how I was doing. My surgery went well and I left shortly after my surgery. AMAZING resultsI would definitely recommend Dr. Gerlinger.

I am very satisfied with Dr. Gerlinger and his team. I received a thorough explanation of everything prior to the procedure and everything went very well. They have kept in constant contact to ensure I was pleased with surgery and my care. I could not ask for a better group to have done this surgery. I highly recommend him and his team and the care they provide.

Dr Gerlinger has successfully replaced both of my knees and hips. The recovery time is remarkably fast and his follow up and his team are great. I highly recommend him.

Great to once again have a working, pain-free knee! Text messages were a wonderful way to track progress. Very happy with the way things turned out. Now if only the rest of me was this good ! Ken Thompson

AWESOME SURGEON! HE REPLACED MY LEFT HIP ALMOST 6 YRS AGO AND HE AND HIS STAFF WERE FANTASTIC! THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE WENT WONDERFULLY, I HAD A TELEPHONE CONFERENCE WITH DR. GERLINGER, AT WHICH TIME HE TOLD ME HE WOULD REPLACE MY RIGHT KNEE AT THE MUNSTER INDIANA LOCATION IN AN IN-N-OUT, SAME DAY PROCEDURE ON A TUESDAY. I LIVE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA, WHICH WAS GREAT NEWS FOR ME! HE HAD TOLD ME ALMOST6 YEARS AGO, AFTER HE REPLACED MY HIP, THAT I NEEDED BOTH KNEES REPLACED. HE ADVISED ME TO LET HIM KNOW WHEN I WAS READY. AT THE TIME OF OUR TELEPHONE CONFERENCE APPROX. 1.5 YEARS AGO I WAS HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH MY RIGHT KNEE AND TOLD HIM I WAS READY.!! WE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE HIM, THEN GO DIRECTLY FROM HIS OFFICE TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR A PRE-OP PHYSICAL EXAM. WHEN I GOT TO HIS OFFICE AND I GOT TO SEE HIM, HIS ENTIRE SCOPE CHANGED, BECAUSE OF INSURANCE DICTATIONS/ REQUIREMENTS ! INSTEAD OF SETTING UP THE SURGERY DATE AND GOING OVER TO GET MY PRE-OP EXAM, HE STRONGLY URGED ME TO GET INJECTIONS AND THERAPY TELLING ME THAT INSURANCE WANTS THEM TO EXHAUST ALL MEANS BEFORE DOING TOTAL REPLACEMENTS, EVEN THOUGH HE TOLD ME YEARS AGO THAT I NEEDED REPLACEMENTS DONE BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS OF MY KNEES. A THAT TIME 5 YEARS AGO! I TOLD HIM I'VE HAD INJECTIONS BEFORE AND THEY'VE NEVER HELPED IN MY SHOULDERS OR MY SPINE. HE TOLD ME IF I TOOK HIS ADVICE AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT AND KNOWING HOW MUCH PAIN I WAS IN WITH MY KNEES, BECAUSE HE'S THE DOCTOR AND INSURANCE TELLS HIM WHAT HE SHOULD DO APPARENTLY? TODAY I HAVE MUCH MORE PAIN THAN EVER IN BOTH KNEES IN MY ANKLES AND MY FEET BECAUSE OF MY KNEES ETC. I TOOK A PART-TIME JOB TO SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME. I'M IN PAIN EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE NOW! I WISH HE WOULD HAVE STEPPED UP AND STOOD UP TO THE INSURANCE BUREAUCRATS , AT LEAST A LITTLE MORE. IT'S NOT AS IF THIS IS A NEW INJURY AND NOTHING'S BEEN TRIED! HAVING TALKED WITH ONE OF HIS NURSES TODAY ABOUT A RECENT FALL ON MY FAKE HIP, SHE BROUGHT TO LIGHT HOW THE INSURANCE WILL NOT PAY THEM IF THEY DON'T DO WHAT THEY'RE TOLD! THEREFORE, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GIVE THIS PHENOMENAL SURGEON DR GERLINGER HIS JUST DO AND GIVE HIM AND HIS STAFF TOP MARKS!! IT'S THE INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT SHOULD GET NO STARS!! I HOPE THE DOCTOR AND HIS STAFF CAN APPRECIATE MY OTHER FRUSTRATION IN THIS BECAUSE I'VE BEEN LIVING IN THIS PAIN FOR A LONG TIME! THANK YOU

Very thorough and professional.Dr Gerlinger and his staff have outstanding follow-up skill and answered my questions or concerns within 1.5 hrs. He explained his surgical procedures, safer anesthesia, and post surgical maters personally or by links to credible websites, or in his daily texts. Lastly Dr Gerlinger has excellent surgical skills as evidenced the excellent total knee replacement outcome with no issues. I’m very happy I chose Dr Gerlinger and recommend him without hesitation.

As a retired NHL player and US Olympian, I have had the luxury of being amongst top doctors in the country. I was beyond impressed by Dr. Gerlinger and his Nurse Practitioner, Alissa. I have the utmost trust going into my knee replacement surgery with this team!

The doctors at Midwest Orthopedics are the best in class for treatment of orthopedic injuries, surgery and rehab. Dr. Gerlinger, in particular, has reprieved me of severe pain through successful joint replacement surgery. My recovery was remarkable and he and his staff deserve 5 stars for knowledge, skill, and overall excellent patient care.

Dr. Gerlinger performed a knee replacement on my right knee two years ago. He and his team provided me with useful info both pre and post surgery. Dr. Gerlinger is an experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly surgeon who I have recommended to friends seeking a good ortho surgeon. I am so elated with the outcome of my past surgery ( pain free / good flexibility / strong ) that I am scheduled to have my left knee replaced this month with Dr. Gerlinger and his team. Highly recommend!!!

Midwest orthopedic in Oak Brook provided me with excellent care through Dr. Gerlinger and his Fellow. Efficiency from the front desk , X-ray department , norsing staff interactions with Drs. I was not rushed. Every procedure was explained , assessment and evaluation was provided with clarity . I highly recommend this facility and physicians .

Dr Gerlinger familiarized himself with my medical history and reviewed potential issues with me that I should prepare for prior to surgery, however, he also was very confident of an excellent result and gave me the same high confidence in a good outcome. Dr Gerlinger and his staff are not only very professional and they were very responsive to my questions and concerns before and after surgery. Their follow-up and rehab guidance is better than any surgery team I have seen. They are the best.
