Summary

  • Dr. Gerlinger specializes in Adult Hip and Knee reconstruction. This entails procedures designed to reconstruct the arthritic hip and knee as well as treat hips and knees that have been previously replaced but are failing due to wear, infection, and other conditions. We employ a very personalized approach to your care with responsive administrative support and skilled nursing. This team approach ensures the shortest possible hospital stay and recovery, and allows for same day/outpatient surgery in many cases. Our goal is to quickly return you to the activities that you value most.
