Patient Reviews
Sep 27, 2025
Dr. Gerlinger performed a full knee replacement on me about 10 months ago. Everything about the surgery and follow up was first class. They even had me get my meds before surgery so I wasn’t wandering around after trying to do that. I am riding my bike again and much more active after surgery than I was before. I highly recommend Dr. Gerlinger for joint replacement.
