Dr Gerlinger takes his time to discuss what his findings are, he's very professional. Prior to having my knee replacement performed I asked around and talked to nurses my wife knows that work with him in the operating room in the surgery center he operates out of. They said he is a very good surgeon. A coworker of mine had his knee replaced by De Gerlinger and received very good results with his knee replacement. I'm about 5 months post op and an doing well.

Having done a lot of research into how to pick the right ortho surgeon and questions to ask, I came across MOR and its plethora of skilled doctors. I then reviewed every bio, checked out every certification, read every review and decided Dr. Gerlinger would be my surgeon if he agreed I needed surgery. He did. MOR is a well-oiled machine -- I had X-rays done before my first appointment was scheduled to begin, then met with his PA before meeting Dr. G. Everyone was knowledgeable and helpful, including Kelly, his nurse, and the office administrator. The pre-op package explains everything in detail; the medicine regimen is incredible and works like a charm if you follow it to the T. Surgery was quick because of the number of hours Dr. G has; his skill and precision became more evident as the days and weeks passed. If you do everything he tells you -- starting before surgery -- you will heal quickly and breeze through PT. Definitely sign up for the texts; they are everything from exercises and gentle reminders to do your exercises daily to a guide on where you should be in the healing/recovery process and when you should be off pain meds. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. G and his staff and if I ever need another one, even if I don't live in the area any more, I would come back just to have him do it. He's an asset to hip replacement!

Dr Gerlinger and staff are exceptional! I have had 2 total knee replacements in 3 months. I can not be happier. My range of motion is about 115 and no pain. I can't believe how my knees feel already. I'm a walker and am excited to get back to my life style. The texts offer so much good information from a Dr who cares about you and your outcome. Daily texts give you encouragement along with links if you need more info. I recommend going to the best. Thank you Dr Gerlinger and Staff.

My experience with Dr. Gerlinger and his entire group regarding my left hip replacement was second to none!! I have never before experienced such a professional and truly caring group. They are always willing to answer any questions you may have and never make you feel rushed or as though you are bothering them. It is like talking to someone you’ve known your entire life. I would recommend Dr. Gerlinger and his group to anyone seeking a hip or knee replacement.

Dr Gerlinger is a great Dr. He is very professional. He takes his time listening to you and then checks out all that you discussed with him. He is very thorough. He did a total knee replacement on both of my knees and they feel great. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Gerlinger’s office staff was very efficient and I didn’t have to hardly wait. Both Alissa ( his assistant) and Dr Gerlinger were friendly and professional in their exam in my 1 yr follow up from knee replacement. Excellent doctor. Highly recommend!

Dr. Gerlinger performed total knee arthroplasty (replacement) surgeries on both of my osteoarthritic knees 6 months apart. While I am still in the early recovery stages from the second knee, I can already tell the this will be as successful as the first. His team is extremely efficient, proficient and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Gerlinger.

I just had my 2nd total knee replacement with Dr. Gerlinger. I can’t say enough good things about both he and his staff! Questions are answered promptly, and once after a short 20 minutes, the nurse called to talk to me directly about a concern. The daily inspirational texts are so helpful and motivating! Upbeat and positive are the two words that can describe all people associated with this practice! Dr. Gerlinger does a fantastic job of managing pain so that you really are pretty pain free ( just some achiness which is easily handled with ice and elevation). Can’t go wrong using Dr. Gerlinger!!

After working for Orthopaedic practices or over 35 years, it is refreshing to meet an orthopedic surgeon who still honors his profession with my deepest respect. Dr.. Gerlinger is everything you would want in a surgeon! He did a fantastic job on my knee, keeps his office hours on time, has very efficient and thorough staff working for him. I would give my full recommendation to any family or friend to Dr Gerlinger.

Professional, high standards and interaction between doctor and office couldn't have been better. I'm at eight to nine weeks and feel great. If 5 stars were excellent, I would give them ten. Thanks for doing a great job.
