I highly recommend Dr. Gerlinger to my family and friends, in fact I already did. After Dr. Performing 2 total knee replacements in the last 3 months I am doing well and going back to work in a couple of days. I have to say Dr. Gerlinger's staff is very attentive and he himself very talented, kind and humble. If you or someone you know decide to have surgery done by him please make sure you sign up for his very helpful text messages he sends during your recovery.

I was very impressed with Dr Dr Dr. Dr Gerlinger and his staff were always there when I needed them. The text were very timely and assuring. Sometimes it was like they were reading your mind. I called a few times and I always got the advice I needed to help me physically as well as mentally.

Professional staff, they were efficient and very pleasant. All paperwork was completed prior to the visit. The Dr. knew about me and my history before the visit and referred to my information during my appointment. I was hesitant to have knee replacement. I put off the decision and Dr. Geringer was my second opinion. He was calm and not an alarmist. I've changed my mind. Will get my new knee in June

Dr. Gerlinger and his staff are top-notch. I was continually impressed with them - they always knew who I was, where I was in the process, took the time to answer any questions I had. My knees have healed up amazingly quickly - he replaced both knees two months apart. Four months after the second surgery I can do everything I want to. I am working on overall strength at the gym, I can ride my bike and drive my stick-shift car, and walk as long as I want. We are packing to move and I have no problems getting to the bottom shelves or shifting boxes. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

Dr. Gerlinger replaced both my knees, two months apart. They healed up amazingly quickly and PT made a huge difference. At four months after the second surgery I can walk up and down stairs, drive my stick shift car, ride my bike, work out at the gym...it really is amazing how quickly it's all happened. I am completely happy with the process too - his fantastic staff were always available for all my questions, and Dr. Gerlinger is one of the best in the business. Typical of surgeons he didn't have a lot of time to spend with me, but he always knew what questions I'd been asking and what stage of recovery I should be in, and checked to see I was - I felt he knew who and how I was all the way through. I feel very fortunate to have had such a good experience with such a big procedure!
