My experience with Dr. Gerlinger on October 11, 20...

My experience with Dr. Gerlinger on October 11, 2018 was absolutely mind blowing to say the least. One of the reasons why I d chose Dr. Gerlinger is because he was one of two doctors that was referred to me, and his medical credentials in opinion made him a perfect candidate for my situation. Unfortunately, his neck down dead people skills, dismissive nature, distasteful bedside manner, and lack of professionalism floored me. Now the doctor that I d seen on this very same day that had examined me and had gotten up to speed about my issues with my TKR (which wasn t done by Dr. Gerlinger) was very professional, compassionate, and overall really tried to help me as best as he could. I d driven an hour and thirty minutes to see Dr. Gerlinger to do get shut down the way that I was. I wouldn t wish that experience on anyone. With tears in my eyes, I was left without any other recommendations other than... If you had all of the money in the world. I still wouldn t do the surgery until your BMI is at 40. I don t know what to tell you, but I can t help you. Before I knew it, his hand was on the doorknob trying to left the room. So I d said, What am I suppose to do? I don t have full functionality of my leg because my knee won t fully extend, and I have a massive limp. His words were... I can t help you . Then he walked out of the room. I was then comforted by the other doctor that was also in the room with us. He had said, I m so sorry Ms. Mason. Take a few moments to get yourself together. You don t have to leave out the room right away. After I d left my appointment, I d got into my car and literally broke down in tears. I pray that no one else will ever have the experience that I had. Dr. Gerlinger really needs to work his delivery. It s piss poor...it s not what you say, it s how you say it. No thanks for the experience.
