Excellent surgeon and same for his team. It’s a complicated surgery which experience is critical and required. Never did I feel anything but comfortable I had chosen correctly for my total knee replacement. The texts, which come regularly, became a friend checking in and offering help and support.

High praise for Dr. Gerlinger & his team! I was so nervous prior to the cemented L hip replacement surgery but it was the best thing I’ve ever done and wonder why I didn’t do this years ago! I’m looking forward to having the R hip done as well! Anyone considering surgery, sign up for the text messages, they were so helpful and avoided what probably would have been a slew of calls to the office, lol.

The office was very professional. It all ran smooth and Dr. Gerlinger was very informative and not in a hurry to do my total hip replacement. He gave me his card and said when I was ready to give him a call.

I want thank Dr Tad Gerlinger and his staff for the excellent and caring job they did on my recent hip replacement. From my first pre op visit to my last post op visit everyone was friendly, professional and caring. Dr Gerlinger is an excellent surgeon and his text message program helps you feel they are with you every day through the process. A special shout out to nurse Kelly Murray, who responded to all questions in a timely and friendly manner despite a busy schedule. The whole team shows you they care!

I thought Dr. Gerlinger was very empathic and honest with my issues. He recommended that I wait for surgery. Experience makes the difference. Thanks.

I am writing to recommend Dr. Gerlinger for hip replacement surgery. I had my hip replaced in the summer 2022. I am so grateful for his expertise and his excellent staff. It could not have been a better experience. Dr. Gerlinger took the time to explain my options to me in detail, and he answered all of my questions. He also made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The surgery went smoothly, and I was able to go home the same day. I had almost no pain in the days following surgery. I am now 12 months post-surgery, and I am doing great! I have no pain, and I am able to walk, run, anything I want. I practically forget I even have a new hip. I am so grateful to Dr. Gerlinger and his amazing staff! He is an excellent surgeon, and he truly cares about his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering hip replacement.

I read Dr. Gerlinger’s reviews and made an appointment for an examination. The X-rays confirmed that my knee was bone on bone with bone fragments. Dr. Gerlinger recommended a partial knee replacement and we scheduled the date on my timeframe. I also had two injections to relieve the pain until surgery was performed. I completed the partial knee replacement and am currently 6 weeks into the recovery process. I used a minimal amount of pain medication, was walking without a walker within a few days and have enjoyed a very speedy recovery. Kudos to Dr. Gerlinger and his team at Midwest Orthopedics. All of the personnel from scheduling through the PT therapist were outstanding. I especially appreciated the PT team and highly recommend using a Rush/Midwest Ortho facility. I did not expect such a positive outcome from this surgery. I recommend Dr. Gerlinger and all of the Midwest Ortho team for your consideration. Many thanks to those pro’s.

I had my left hip replaced in June of 2023 with Dr. Gerlinger / Midwest Orthopedics at the Rush Oak Brook Surgical Center. The pre-op preparation was very orderly and thorough. The billing went smoothly. On the day of the procedure, I went into surgery at 7:30 and walked out at 10:30. Post-operatively they checked in on me twice. At 5 weeks I had an in person meeting. Everything looked and felt great. PT has been moving me along steadily. Dr. Tad and his team at Oak Brook are great option for hip replacements. I'm walking miles at a time these days thanks to them.

Since I started seeing Dr. Tad Gerlinger @Rush/ Midwest Orthopedic, I feel confident in his diagnosis of my knees and the care and respect his staff provides. I have referred others to his office for advice on getting better results. They have given me top notch service from day one. They Rock!!

Dr Gerlinger did a partial knee replacement for both my left and right knee 10 months apart in 2022. Replacements went well as outpatient. Post operation follow up was good, letting me know what to expect and where my progress should be.

I was new to Rush but the staff was very understanding and helped in getting me to where I needed to go. Dr Gerlinger and associates were caring and professional. I felt comfortable and left secure I was in good hands.

I’m 6 weeks out after partial knee replacement. Dr Gerlinger and his team especially Kelly made me feel so comfortable with all aspects of this journey. The entire team always was so polite, happy, and ready to do whatever they could to make me more comfortable. I put this off for years and suffered needlessly. I’m well on my way to being pain free. I couldn’t be more excited. I signed up for Dr Gerlingers daily inspirational texts. AMAZING!!! I found myself waiting for those texts to come each day. THANK YOU to all involved.
