Dr Gerlinger and his team made my partial medial knee replacement the best surgery experience I have ever had. They are diligent about keeping you well informed and well supported throughout the process. Other Doctors told me to wait to get a full knee replacement when I was older, which meant forgoing my favorite activities now. I am a very active 59 year old who only had missing cartilage on one side of my knee, so with Dr Gerlinger’s expertise in partials, I felt strongly that this was the best solution, and it turned out wonderfully.

Dr. Tad Gerlinger is a great clinician. He performed complex surgery on me in 2016. I returned in 2024 for a different matter. He & staff are great communicators. G . Andros

Four weeks ago today I had a partial knee replacement with Dr. Gerlinger from Midwest Orthopedics at Rush in Oakbrook. I was home recovering within hours after the procedure. His practice encompasses daily texts which explain what you should be experiencing throughout each day. Those texts were spot on every day! He has you start physical therapy one week after surgery, which my recovery is ahead of schedule. In my opinion, I believe Dr. Gerlinger and his staff are top notch, a best in class practice that I would highly recommend.

Had knee replacement surgery with Dr. Gerlinger. He did an excellent job, after three weeks the scar has almost disappeared. Have had a great experience from start to finish. His staff does a great job as well.

Helped my knee to stop hurting thru a combination of drainig fluid from my knee followed by a steroid injection. Very capable and easygoing demeanor. I highly recommend him.

I was very pleased with the results from my visit. A non- surgical route seems possible and I’m all- in on that. The steroid injection led to relief from pain and increased mobility within a few hours after the procedure. Hopefully my insurance approves the hyaluronic acid injection. I’ll pay for it out of my own pocket if it doesn’t. Thank you for your great care!

I did a lot of research to find the best surgeon possible, to perform the total revision of my left knee. Dr. Gerlinger is a highly qualified surgeon. All of my questions and concerns were addressed in a manner that I could understand. Phone calls were returned in a timely fashion and his entire team are all equally as professional.

I chose Dr. Tad Gerlinger for my partial knee replacement based on the recommendation of a friend, and after being impressed with my initial consultation at Midwest Orthopaedics. Dr. Gerlinger has an amazing resume and experience and I wanted a surgeon who specializes in knee surgery. His staff is incredibly helpful and kind, and the entire process was smooth. The physical therapy is excellent and a key part of recovery. Dr. Gerlinger's practice sends automated texts both pre-surgery and during recovery with timely information and encouragement, which has been very helpful, especially since this is my only experience with knee surgery and I didn't know what to expect. I highly recommend the Midwest Orthopaedics for anyone seeking orthopedic surgery.

Dr Gerlinger and his team have made the scary process of joint replacement surgery as comfortable as possible. Between the extensive education prior and the personal text messages after, they make you feel at ease helping make the recovery process as easy as possible.
