Dr. Tad Gerlinger and his surgical staff I have found to be totally professional with an exceptional personal touch communication relationship. My total knee replacement surgery came out better than expected. Quick recovery time due to hands on texts from the Dr & his surgical team on a daily basis. Their support was top notch and greatly appreciated. Daily exercise videos came in very helpful for best recovery results. Their physical therapy staff post operation was top notch as well. Not to mention their enhanced protein shakes for quick and better recovery definitely helped. Thank you again for a job incredibly well done. No more pain and my leg is as straight as an arrow.

What a soft spoken, confident, and very friendly Dr. I'm so thankful to everyone in his practice I dealt with along the surgical way, and all they did to help me. There was never a time I wasn't greeted in a friendly and serving way. That discipline takes patience and everyone I dealt with was great.

Have all the confidence in the world regarding Dr Gerlinger. Replaced my right hip several years ago. Was up and about in two days. Never had a problem with it.

Dr. Gerlinger and his staff are second to none! I was a candidate for half of a knee replacement and my recovery from the outpatient surgery was way quicker than I anticipated and the pain level was very minor, less than I expected as well. He is a truly talented surgeon that I highly recommend.

Dear Dr. Gerlinger, you are the BEST!! My visit with you on March 20th was informative and great!:You are so kind and gentle. Your PA(I forgot his name) was very sweet as well. When I move to NY, I will make it my business to come back to Chicago and schedule a visit with you, that's if I have anymore knee problems. God Bless you, your family, and your team. And thank you so very much for caring. Most Sincerely, Carlotta Brown

I did thorough research before compiling a list of orthopedic surgeons that I would consider for my hip replacement. After visiting with Dr. Gerlinger and Nurse Kelly, I chose to schedule at the Oakbrook surgicenter and the staff there at were also all exceptional.
All my questions were answered, whether in the office, by email or over the phone, before, after or on the day of surgery. They gave sound, logical advice and the care I received was exactly what I hoped it would be. I’m now six weeks post-op and expect my recovery to continue, without incident. As far as I can tell at this point in time, they did a wonderful job replacing my right hip. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Gerlinger.

Dr. Tad Gerlinger and his team have been top-notch in every facet and every step of my right hip replacement journey! From my first consultation with Dr. Gerlinger through Physical Therapy, every professional I've encountered has been engaged and invested in my personal care and recovery. The pre-surgical information session offered was clear, very detailed on what to expect and, in the end, extremely accurate. And, the text message service was fantastic in preparing me for surgery, then in guiding my recovery, advising me of various milestones along the way. This is a well-oiled machine! The true test is to ask the question "If you had to do it again, would you have Dr. Gerlinger and team do your surgery?" For me, that's a resounding YES! And, I WILL to replace my left hip later this year!

What a great experience from beginning to end. Dr Gerlinger was very detailed and kept me well informed the whole process of having my hip replaced. His daily text messages on what to expect, encouragement, and exercises for recovery were awesome! I would highly recommend De Gerlinger for your hip replacement surgery.

I am so happy I found Dr. Gerlinger to replace my knee. This being the first time under the “knife” , there was a lot of anxiety. Dr. Gerlinger and his staff made the entire process comfortable from start to finish. The daily post op text messages really helped in the healing process. I gave a 5 star review only because there weren’t more stars !

Dr Gerlinger and his staff are the BEST. Having knee replacement surgery is challenging but Dr Gerlinger explained everything in detail to make the process manageable. I would definitely recommend Dr Gerlinger if you need surgery!!!

Dr Gerlinger is the best surgeon ever. He took me from chronic pain for almost a decent to pain free living. He took the time to come to the hospital when I was hospitalized for another matter. I am so grateful for him.

He encouraged me to not have surgery at this time if the pane was not that severe. So I’ll take his advise since he all ready did my right knee about three years ago and it came out perfect. Hate to go into Chicago anyway with all the trouble crime wise and with the muslims shutting down O’Hare field on Monday of this week protesting. Hate Chicago but like Doctor Gerlinger very much. He did offer up another Doctor to go to should I need to do something with my left knee and sometime. Thankfully it would be in a much nicer and safer city and enviroment than Chicago.

Clear explanation of the problem and treatment. Pre and post op were great. Walking unassisted for the first time in more than 3 years.
