Dr Gerlinger did fantastic work on both my partial knee replacements. No more pain and I'm enjoying great mobility, especially with small grandchildren. Knew what to expect both pre op and post op. Staff responds quickly to phone calls. Dr takes the time to answer all my questions. The Midwest Rush Oak Brook facility is great!

I am totally please with my experience and results from having a partial knee replacement for both knees. Dr. Gerlinger and his team made sure I understood all aspects of my surgery and the post operative care and follow up was great. Any questions I had were promptly answered by his staff plus they made sure my appointments were booked without having to ask. I am so grateful to be able to live pain free and get my former active lifestyle back. Thank you to Dr. Gerlinger and his fantastic team.

Dr Gerlinger has replaced my knee and my hip. Excellent surgeon. He explains everything with ease and patience. I have fallen multiple times since and had to check my hardware to make sure nothing is loose. He never makes me feel bad in any way. Just makes sure I'm ok.

Dr Gerlinger was very positive about the outlook for total hip surgery and his attitude, along with the education videos and texts made me feel positive. Surgery did go well and so far my recovery is right on track. Im very happy Dr Gerlinger was recommended to me by a friend who had the same successful experience. My surgery took place at Rush University Medical Center. The staff were wonderful.

I have had both of my knees replaced with Dr Gerlinger and his team. I am very happy with the care I have been given. He has a very informative video explaining the surgery and procedure. It's nice to have it in a format that you can refer back to. Surgery itself was done same day, and their after care was well thought out and kept pain under control. Sign up for the daily text so you can get reminders before and after surgery with encouraging notes as well. Hard work at PT is required, but the results are worth it. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

Dr Gerlinger and his team are outstanding. They care for each patient, and listen to all concerns. I am recovering from LTKR, and I know am in great hands. I will be doing a RTKR in a few months.

Every step of the process has been far easier than I ever expected. It almost made me nervous that everything was so easy because I thought I had to be missing something!!! Every person on staff has been wonderful!! Dr Gerlinger is running a top notch organization and I would not hesitate to encourage anyone who is in need of a hip to contact him.

I had a full hip replacement completed by Dr. Gerlinger at Rush hospital. The procedure was more complicated due a previous hip condition and prior surgeries - but they did an outstanding job. Dr. Gerlinger, Midewest Orthopedics, and Rush hospital are among the best in the country, and I would highly recommend their practice for any orthopedic procedures.
