Rush runs like clockwork, appointments are on time, doctors are great. I was chosen for 3 research studies. Dr. Gerlinger did great work, and listened to my questions. The daily text communicated helpful information. I’d highly recommend Dr. Gerlinger and Rush Ortho.

Dr. Gerlinger and his staff exhibited tremendous professionalism pre, during, and post surgery. My knee was injured due to a football injury when I was 14 years old. It got worse as the years went on. I wasn't able to completely straighten my knee and the bending range of motion was probably less than 90 degrees. So almost 40 years later, I received a total knee replacement from Dr. Gerlinger and his staff. I am now able to completely straighten my knee which I am very grateful for. I was limping for many years. There is still some swelling and pain, probably due to the surgery. My knee is still healing because I feel the heat coming from it. I'm continuously working to get myself back to near 100%, but I know that the healing process can't be rushed. The doc didn't have a problem writing a note to my job to give me more time off to work on my progress. Once again, thanks doc and your staff for all that you did for me.

I had a partial non-invasive knee replacement with Dr. Gerlinger and cannot say enough about my whole experience from my first visit, through surgery, and follow up. Aside from Midwest Orthopedics efficiently run office, Dr. Gerlinger's surgery was successful to the point of mobility and little pain a month later. Kudos to Dr. Gerlinger for his innovative procedure.

Dr. Gerlinger and his team provided excellent service and support to me before, during and after my knee surgery. I received text messages that help guide me through the process with valuable tips of exercises and do’s and don’t. Dr. Gerlinger has excellent bedside manners and I have already recommended him to several friends with knee issues. In addition, the Physical Therapist at Rush Orthopedic in Munster Indiana are professional, friendly and great at their craft.

Flew from AZ to Chicago to have a consult with Dr. Gerlinger regarding a total knee replacement. He (and his staff) were professional, polite & answered all of my questions. Midwest Orthopaedics @ Rush has an excellent reputation and Dr. Gerlinger is a top notch doctor!

I was very impressed with Dr. Gerlinger and his team from the minute I scheduled surgery. They are constantly communicating and setting you up for success. The text messages after surgery are so important because there are so many different things you deal with physically and mentally. They are incredibly supportive and always there to answer any questions. I am so impressed with his whole team. They run a very well oiled machine and they are very hands-on and I think it makes the whole process of knee replacement surgery much easier.

My experience with Doctor Gerlinger was a great one, very warm and informative. Listened to my concerns, willing to answer any questions or concerns. He Gives suggestions/advice far as your health is concerned, but you the patient will be in charge. I would definitely recommend him. His staff is very nice and helpful. If you find a doctor that is truly concerned about your progress after the surgery, and until you the patient says I better, Dr Gerlinger and His staff will definitely treat you with care.

Having had double hip replacements with Dr. Gerlinger I am more than happy to share my experiences. From beginning to the present his staff has provided exemplary care and attention. Calls with questions and concerns were either answered immediately or vms were returned same day. The level of personal care given by Dr.Gerlinger helped ease my preop anxiety and concern and has been most attentive and available at the postop exams. My questions were given amazing personal care and time. I have referred a few friends and their experiences have been the very same as mine leading to their procedures. The staff and personnel at Rush Orthopedics and Xray dept and at the Gold Coast Surgical Center were kind, considerate and totally professional. The great aftercare physical therapy from Rush has been a huge part of my recovery and I want to give them 5 stars as well. My list of notable people is below and I want to give a shoutout to all of them…. Alissa, Kerry, Bryce R., Abby C., Kennsington, and Abraham… Thank you to all those professionals Dr. Gerlinger depends on every day with his patients. Keep up the great work!!

After 2yrs of knowing my partial did not feel right(From another ortho Dr) Dr Gerlinger replaced it with a complete full knee replacement . This service was very professional, structured, and clean! They even sent text messages along the way which are very useful in pre-op and post-op phases. I am walking straight now and the joint feels more normal. My wife and i drove 3 hrs for this process each visit and i have no regrets ! Dr Gerlinger and his nurse Kelly are truly caring people and it shows ! I Highly recommend this provider and will tell everyone i know about my experience !

The presurgery materials and the text messages before and after surgery for my hip replacement were extraordinarily helpful. They kept me informed on where I should be in my recovery and anticipated my questions which eased any concerns that I had.

This is the third time I have had part replacement with Dr. Gerlinger. He has wonderful skills, is very professional, and has a great bedside manner. I have had no problem recovering in the first six weeks, and it was all aided by wonderful text messages. I received all along the way, to help spur me on.
