Dr Gerlinger and his staff are clear and helpful. I have had a lot of questions with my workman’s comp case and he has answered them all in a timely manner and has been patient with all of them. My surgery went very smoothly and my recovery has been seamless due to the work of his entire team. I am so grateful that I worked with Dr Gerlinger. Thank you. I appreciate you all.

Working with Dr. Gerlinger has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. From the very beginning, his impressive background and credentials stood out and played a big role in my decision to choose him as my surgeon. But it wasn’t until I met him in person that I realized just how fortunate I was to be in his care. Dr. Gerlinger is not only highly knowledgeable, but he also has a personable, down-to-earth demeanor that instantly put me at ease. Speaking with him felt more like talking to a trusted friend than a doctor. He provided a wealth of information, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and made sure I felt confident and comfortable every step of the way. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his patients. His entire team reflects the same level of excellence. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly responsive, courteous, and professional. They were always on top of everything, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to come across such a well-coordinated and compassionate team. I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gerlinger to anyone seeking a top-notch surgeon with a human touch.

I’d like to thank Dr. Gerlinger for an excellent job for the second time around for replacing old and worn out knees, tinged with a little bit of arthritis. Dr. Gerlinger’s medical knowledge of how the knee functions and how to repair or replace it has translated into a life once again able to engage in activities I’ve always loved. Beyond my mid 70’s, I can resume chasing a basketball and shooting the 3-point shot, walking forward and backward at a pretty good clip as I listen to my favorite music, and finally returning to the pool and getting in those laps which I love to do. So thank you Dr. Gerlinger for adding a quality to my life that extends my praise to God as He used your expertise to bring Joy to my life. Thank you so very much!

I have used Dr. Gerlinger for both knee replacements as well as a hip replacement. All my surgeries went great! Communication with his office was great prior as well as post op if I had questions or needed anything (more prescriptions etc). Dr Gerlinger was at every appointment, not just his PA like most surgeons these days…..I highly recommend Dr Gerlinger, as well as his staff!

The medical treatment received from all doctors and medical staff at Midwest Orthopedic at Rush Hospital is exceptional. The follow up care is thorough. I couldn’t ask for a better place to treat my achy shoulder, back, knee, spine and hands.

Dr. Tad Gerlinger is a Wonderful Surgeon. The Rush team really has been good to me and my family. Dr. G has been my personal surgeon since 2016. I’m having two more surgeries before I retire; to start my new life as the Bionic Woman. Lol.. I couldn’t ask for better doctor. Continue to be Great Doctor that brag about all the time. Love you ??

Words cannot adequately express how grateful I feel that Dr. Gerlinger chose to practice in Illinois. As far as I'm concerned, he is the absolute best doctor for a knee replacement. I followed all his recommendations including the nutritional supplements, subscribing to his texting support, and worked my knee even when I didn't want to. 6 weeks after surgery and I feel 20 years younger. Thank you Dr. Gerlinger and team!
