Dr Gerlinger is amazing. I had a complicated TKR requiring revision components due to prior traumatic damage. The surgery went very smoothly and, incredibly, I was walking with very little discomfort almost immediately. have recovered at at an extraordinary pace. I feel that I can do anything I did before this saga began, and I am very active. My leg and knee feel great. I have my life back. Thank you Dr Gerlinger! I cannot recommend Dr Gerlinger highly enough; he is extremely gifted. And he is a very nice guy.

I just had surgery done on my knee yesterday 7/11/2018 at the surgicenter. It was easy to find, easy to find the parking garage-parking, not so much. The center itself is well maintained, very clean and professional looking. The staff is beyond friendly, Rachel helped make me feel comfortable with registration and what to expect. My arrival time was 11:45, I got there at 11:35. But I didn’t get called back for pre-Op until 12:30 or so and my surgery was scheduled for 1:15. Once I got back in the pre-op/recovery/post op area things went smooth and fast. I was ready for surgery by 12:55. And out of surgery and awake by 2:05. Dr. Cole’s staff was very light hearted, funny, happy, personable. Never once did they make me feel like I was a burden, or that I was annoying, asking silly questions. They put my nerves at ease. The man who did my IV, (i forget his name, I’m sorry!!) was amazing! I hate needles and shots and I didn’t feel a thing and IV was in my hand. Everyone was thorough and didn’t short change any steps, and made sure I was well informed. After surgery the nurse made sure I was at a comfortable level with pain, also helped me get dressed and walked with me after. first thing they asked and did when I came to was ask about my pain, and what I’d like to eat and drink. Even the nurse who wheeled me out to my car was friendly and talkative. It’s a beautiful place with wonderful people who work there. If it wasn’t so far away from where i live (2.5 hours) I’d prefer to have surgery there every time.

I had a total right hip replacement by Dr. Gerlinger. His skill and knowledge are second to none! Also he gave my the ability to be pro-active in my post surgery recovery. By allowing this I was able to take the 10-12 week recovery time down to 6 weeks and 4 days! Amazing. I have had both knees replaced and rota-tor cuff surgery performed on me and this by far was the least problematic and fastest recovery ever. Thank you Dr. Gerlinger for all you did for me!

Dr Gerlinger and his team have restored my physical condition to a point where all normal activities can be carried out without pain of fatigue. He and his team displayed the highest skills, knowledge and patient-centered approaches with excellent communication and interactions. Staff was always available for questions and encouragement. All processes were extremely detailed and ensured the outcomes were what was promised. I highly regard this team and my experience to restore an active life style.

Easy parking and large waiting room.Dr spent all the time I need to talk about my bad hip. His assistant went over all my past health issues in order to get a better idea of my problems and how to help the Dr. Fix my problem.

Dr. Gerlinger replaced my hip and will replace my knee shortly. The hip surgery and recovery went incredibly well, all thanks to Dr. Gerlinger’s skill and his excellent team. I walked out of Rush Hospital without even a cane.
