I had a Total Knee replacement 10/2019 at Rush University Hospital in Chicago. During the pre op classes , I was told to expect , realistically, 80% improvement . I can safely say , over 8 weeks post op, I am way over 200% improved! The care pre op, inpatient and post op exceeded my...

Review for Dr. Tad Gerlinger, MD
Multiple doctors insisted that I needed a full knee replacement. In contrast, Dr. Bach felt that he could “buy me a few years” by way of arthroscopy/notchplasty. That approach may not be for everyone, but it was for me. 4 weeks post-op, my range of motion is significantly improved; I can walk and...

Dr. Sani is a second-tier/second string neurosurgeon at best. I'm very surprised Rush is willing to be associated with him. Doesn't seem to be educated/updated on the newest scientific advances.

Dr Romeo did shoulder replacement surgery on both my right and left shoulders. The right was done in 2010 and in 2018 the rotator cuff tore. In 2019 the left rotator cuff tore after only 4 yrs post op. The right required revision surgery with a reverse shoulder which failed upon the last screw being...

We are so lucky to have found Dr. Romeo and his PA Deborah Prouse who initially identified the labral tear by way of a physical exam when it was missed by a different surgeon who actually viewed his MRI. Gratefully, Dr. Romeo did not miss the MRI. Our son is a high level water polo athlete who will...
