Dr. Gerlinger and his entire team deliver first rate care, from the first hip replacement consultation through the post operative follow up meetings. Highly recommended.

I dedicated a lot of time and energy researching doctors and facilities for my hip replacement surgery. I selected Dr. Gerlinger and his team at Rush Medical Center. Dr. Gerlinger and his team provided excellent professional care, from the initial consultation all the way through surgery and post operative meetings. Highly recommended.

I had a partial Knee replacement and it went well and was well informed of the replacement surgery and recovery. Today I am walking pain free and back to normal activities.

A second hip replacement in September ,2018. I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Gerlinger explained again the procedure and what to expect. He was spot on. His bedside manor and his professionalism are excellent. From pain control to incision to follow up, well above and beyond. His staff, the nurses, his understudies and all involved in his practice were all extraordinary. Well done , Dr Gerlinger and staff, continued success from one heck of a Practice.

Dr. Gerlinger is the best. He runs a smooth and tight ship. He is always there checking on you. His staff are amazing. All my surgeries will be done with him. Most of all, they are so kind and caring on top of being one of the best surgeons there is.

Dr Gerlinger performed minimally invasive knee replacement surgery on me in August, 2018. I am completely pleased with the outcome and how quickly I recovered. Dr Gerlinger is a great surgeon! He answered all my questions and took the time to listen. There is a great teamwork approach behind what makes Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Chicago, IL THE ONLY PLACE to have knee replacement.

I’ve been going to Midwest Orthopedics for over 10 years with shoulder, hand and knee surgeries. I’ve had three different doctors and they are all nothing but great! I will be having another surgery and am also going through Midwest.

Everyone I came in contact with was very professional, friendly and willing to do whatever it took to make my stay as comfortable as possible. I will definitely go back if I have orthopedic needs in the future.

Dr Gerlinger is amazing. His procedures are cutting edge. Hip replacement with no after surgery pain, full weight bearing. I couldn’t be happier. Everything is explained to you before and after, his staff is the best. I would travel to Northwest Orthopaedics for any surgery in the future.

Extremely buttoned-down procedure. This makes you feel confident you are in good hands. Dr Gerlinger did my replacement on right knee last year. I didn't hesitate choosing him to do other this year.

We heard such good things about Dr. Gerlinger that we traveled out of state to receive his care. Our confidence was well placed. After reviewing my history and test results, he recommended partial knee replacement. The preparation, surgery and recovery went seamlessly. I experienced very minimal discomfort and with the help of his daily text messages, I felt encouraged and supported throughout my recovery. Dr Gerlinger and his staff are top notch!!!
