      work around the majority of my hardware, without removing it all. It’s been 7 weeks since my replacement. My recovery was extremely quick. I was able to return to work in 2 weeks, but I could have been back to my profession within a week. I now walk 5 miles a day, and go to the gym. Dr Gerlinger has been successful in helping me return to a full and normal lifestyle.

        Dr. Gerlinger in my opinion is the most gifted, experienced, humble surgeon/person I have ever met outside my social orbit. Dr. G. rejuvenated, repaired and skillfully reconstructed my hips and knees. Do you have a favorite restaurant that you love; is consistently satisfying, professionally staffed with efficient, friendly, kind and knowledgeable people? MO@Rush is all that! In The Chi U would be doing yourselves a disservice if one did not arrange a consultation with Dr G. It's on U!

              Dr. Gerlinger performed hip replacement surgery on me in April 2017. I was extremely satisfied with the results of the surgery, and was impressed by Dr. Gerlinger’s surgical skill and care. His team was available for me if I had any questions or needed assistance,especially his nurse, who helped me on more than a couple occasions. I would highly recommend Dr. Gerlinger and his team.

                I have had both knees replaced in the last year and a half. I received great care both by Dr Gerlinger and the staff at RUSH. I am more than happy to have chosen RUSH and Dr Gerlinger.

                  I had my right hip replaced by Dr. Gerlinger three weeks ago and could not be more pleased. I had visited several doctors and selected Dr. Gerlinger as he and his team at Rush are cutting edge in orthopedics and their surgical procedures. After the procedure, I was home the next day with minimal discomfort and walking on my own within just few days. My home physical therapist could not believe how quickly I was able to do things and I am no athlete. At three weeks I am almost good as new.

                              Dr. Tad Gerlinger and his staff at Rush Medical Center did excellent job with full knee replacement surgeries on both my knees. I chose to schedule my 2nd knee surgery 11 weeks after the first knee surgery. His regiment of pain killer drugs kept the pain at reasonable level. His nursing/ communication staff with patients is remarkably efficient. Dr Gerlinger is the best and I highly recommend him.

                                I considered a number of other providers for my hip replacement. Based on the recommendations I received I anticipated The outcome to be very good. The results exceeded my expectations and I was able to promptly resume my normal activities and was remarkably pain free throughout the entire process. In addition all staff members were extremely helpful and took the time to answer all my questions and concerns.

                                        Dr. Gerlinger was professional, approachable, and attentive. This was my second hip replacement and the first with Dr. Gerlinger. I cannot be more pleased with the whole experience. I walked out of the hospital the next day without a cane (and with no pain). The entire staff was excellent in every way.
