Thomas VonGillern
M.D.

I’m an old musician dealing with arthritic hands and Dr VonGillern was very understanding and sympathetic to my problem. He’s helping me with different options before last resort surgery if I try that in the end. As a 24/7 caregiver for the past 7 years, playing music is the one thing that I do for me and truly is my therapy. I felt very comfortable talking to him.

Very efficient practice. Very good advice about surgery.

Extremely busy, yet listening to my concerns were a priority. First hand surgery went smoothly...next one in 3 weeks!

I was called in at my appointment time & seen the Dr in a few minutes. Well Done.

As usual, Dr. knew what I was talking about & how to proceed.

Had major pain in thumb and hand. He explained what he would do. Very smooth surgery and recovery time not bad. Excellent doctor

I have worked with Dr. VonGillern as a consultant for many years and have the utmost respect for his treatment of hand conditions, so I chose him to treat the arthritis in my own hands. He did a tendon release for a trigger finger under local anaesthesia (my choice) in 2019, and I will have 2 more done on my other hand. He is easy to talk to and explains everything well in addition to being a very competent surgeon. .

Amazing as always!

Very satisfied. Their patient and helpful.

Got an appointment. He knew what my ailment was and knew how to correct it.

Dr Vongileren is a very professional, competent and knowledgeable physician. He’s easy to talk to and takes the time to answer questions and help you understand what he’s found and recommending. His surgical skills are top of the line, none better. Previously Dr Vongileren fused both of my wrist and worked with me to determine the proper angle of the wrists so I could continue to teach firearms to law enforcement. He was totally successful and I’ve been able to continue teaching and competitively shooting.

Dr. VonGillern is a very busy Man you might have to wait a little longer but I'll tell you that he is most definitely worth the time!! Not only is he an amazing surgeon he is always so kind helpful especially explaining it so I can understand. I have just returned to see him again after a2 years and I even told the appointment Lady I was hoping he didn't retire!! He deserves a break but I will be sad if and when he does decide relax and enjoy himself!! He I do believe is in very High demand. Thank you sir for helping my father 😇 and I. 🥰

I have been a patient at ORA numerous times. I have always received excellent care. The Doctors, nurses as well as all other staff are dedicated to providing excellent care.

Professional

I would definitely recommend Dr. Vongillern to anybody that is in need of a surgery. Everyone is very helpful in making a speedy recovery

Dr. vonGillern is very thorough and compassionate and gives you very good information

Was greeted pleasantly, short wait, my questions were answered, decided on treatment then to follow up in 2 months. The PA and Dr. Professional, courteous, carrying & I felt welcome, informed, was given injection, fitted with a splint, scheduled for return.

Have been seeing Dr. Von Gillern for several years for the arthritis in my thumbs. (I receive shots in them.) He has always run on time, always kind of low-key and even-keeled. After he gives me the shots, he apologizes for having hurt me!! ?? A really nice guy!!

Dr.Vonguillern is the BEST orthopedic surgeon in this area! I unfortunately have RA,Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis w arthritis. It eats away the joints & tissue and if I am not careful or over do it - mom of 6.. so kinda hard I end up needed to repair a tear and or have bones scrapped & repaired! He has done every single one of my surgeries since 2007 and there is no one else I will go to. If you are lucky enough to be referred or accepted as a patient consider yourself in GREAT hands! His PA is pretty amazing too!

Great Dr been going to him for years and had numerous surgeries all great satisfaction

Second time having Dr. V. work on wrists. Did left many years ago and time to do the right. Looking forward to having the same great results.....! Doctor and his staff always have been helpful with any questions or issues before and after surgery. Thank You Dr. V. and staff.... !!!!

Very pleased with the surgery performed and the overall care and explanation of what was going to happen and overall expectations

I have been going to ORA and seeing Doctor Vongillerin for a couple years. I had a bad break in my wrist and he did surgery on it and working to get it healed up. I think he is a great doctor and I am really happy with the treatment I get there.

Very good doctor

My surgery under my thumb was a complete success, fantastic care at facility!

The doctor need to be not so nonchalant, and not be so in hurry.

Dr VonGillern and his staff are kind, caring and top notch at their jobs. Would confidently recommend them to all.

So pleased with my doctor! Always is so pleasant to talk to. The cortisone shots burn when getting them but thats the shot not the doctors fault.

I started seeing the good doctor last year I am a retired nurse and my joints are falling apart after serving my fellow countryman for 33 years in the healthcare profession. I have a torn right rotator cuff the left shoulder is going out I have arthritis, and my hips are bothered immensely by arthritis at times. I highly recommend this office and particularly Dr. Vongillern, For any joint injections.

Doctor Vongilleren has been treating me for arthritis in my hands. He is very thorough and concerned about my situation. We have surgery planned for this fall. I have been very happy with doctor Vongilleren and the staff at ORA. I highly recommend ORA!!

He is a fantastic doctor , i would suggest him for any hand or wrist work.

I have been seen his doctor since the age of 13 and his office. This doctor has always taken his time to listen answer questions has a great personality takes this time with his patients if you're nervous he relaxes you jokes with you heck I even remember a time when he was singing a song to me before I went into my surgery absolutely love this doctor my whole family has been going to him for well over 25 years thanks dr. Vongrillern for all your Specialty's your personality and helping my family

Here's a fantastic doctor I've been going to him personally 4 / 20 years he takes his time he listens to you answers all your questions a very caring doctor

He's THE BEST DOC in the whole wide world!!!

Dr VonG has performed 2 elbow surgeries on me and I wouldn’t consider going to any other physician for elbow issues. Simply the best most knowledgeable one around.

I love Dr VonG. He performed 2 Elbow surgeries which had amazing results on each time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for joint/elbow issues. He is simply the best most knowledgeable physician around. The only thing I hate is the wait time. It’s typical to wait an hour each time, but some things are worth the wait.

Dr spent plenty of time with us and was interested. Explained my problems and choices understandably. Staff was friendly and efficient. Needed x-rays taken and read and treatment provided all in same visit. Facility is modern, well designed and immaculate. Total experience was good and my fears dissolved.

Dr Vongillern knew immediately what was wrong with my thumb. I postponed going to see a Dr for a year until it was too painful to continue releasing pressure of the fluid filled sac top thumb joint. I looked up on internet that my likely problem was synovial fluid was leaking out of thumb joint. I knew Dr Vongillern first specialized in hands when new at ORA IN 80S. Stitches out yesterday, steri strips on. So far so good. I did read where this can reoccur. If does, will update. Dr Vongillern is very good diagnostic and surgeon. I would have him do any ortho procedure if necessary. 👍👍

always have been helpful and informative, very friendly staff and appointments are usually on time. I'm very satisfied with my treatments there

I had right carpal tunnel surgery by Dr. VonGillern at Quad City Ambulatory Surgery Center. The surgery center staff was friendly and very helpful. Since surgery I have had no numbness. Dr. VonGillern is very professional and is the best surgeon! I highly recommend Dr. VonGillern and his great staff at ORA!

Great "bedside". I relaxed enough to take a peek at the procedure.

Had a very good experience with the staff and doctor.

Always have had a great visit.

Always have had a great visit.

The most painless and considerate procedure I have ever received at ORA!

Very attentive to patient and has patient's best interest in mind, always.

Great guy, great doctor. Made sure I understood what he was telling me and answered and questions I had.

Have gone to Moline ORA for years, they’re all great- I keep going back! Recently had surgery by Dr. VonGillern and Jennifer Miller PA- so far, so good! Jen is very efficient and does very well explaining all aspects of the process.

They always know what the patients needs are and treat accordingly.

Just received shoulder and elbow surgery October 2nd and doing well. The doctor and staff are excellent.

Knowledgeable staff and pleasant. Wait time can be long but there are always many people to be seen. Doctor explained the problem well and set a plan in motion to get the healing started.

very happy with them helping me alot and very friendly staff

Very accommodating

I've had Dr VonGillern for 3 surgeries on my hands. All have had perfect results with full use regained and no scaring. I recently had a total knee replacement and the rehab is going along nicely. I have surgical pain but the debilitating bone pain is gone. I would 100% recommend Dr VonGillern and his staff as they give excellent care with top quality results.

I have had several serious injuries due to my active lifestyle. If you want it done right the first time see Dr. VonGillern. My hand and knee are perfect after repairs done over 30 years ago. Now I'm back to have my left hand repaired due to a bad fall and I have no doubt it will be as good as it was before. Thank you for being the best at what you do, Jeff :).

Dr. VonG did an awesome job on my knee. I had absolutely no problems, no visible stitches (so surprised by that) and I was back teaching kindergarten in 9 weeks.

Very professional and concerning.

Excellent doctor with in depth knowledge in diagnosing the medical condition and provides alternatives on the treatment processes

Any visit I have had at ORA, I was treated kindly, professionally and any concerns I had was addressed immediately.

Every experience is a great experience. Dr. Collins and staff are the best!

Dr takes time to talk to me and explain what he is going to do to correct the problem. Dr V had been my Dr for years n I have only great things to say about him

Was warned on arrival that wait was gonna be 45 minutes but didn’t seem that long .visit with dr was great

Great Doctor with Terrific staff. He's the best in my opinion.

If you need anything done with your hand, wrist or thumb - Dr. VonGillern is your guy! He is compassionate, wicked smart, and will talk with you about a plan of action. I always have to wait for my appointment, but it is well worth your time. He will change your life.

I was treated very professionally, Dr. Vongillern did my right shoulder and feel it was better than the scope surgery the last time. My arm did not swell up and turn black and blue. Great job!

Everyone was kind n professional. Wait times were ok, from front waiting room to the next waiting room. It would be nice if everyone introduced themselves . The surgeon did not really explain the surgery .But I am comfortable with him. All was good .

Felt like we were in good hands with Dr Von G. He took great care of our mother who is 91!

My 91 year old mother just had knee surgery w Dr Von G

Dr Von gillern has been taking care of our family for over 20 plus years he has been fantastic caring and giving physician and anyone it has a chance to have him as their doctor they are very lucky. Thanks for everything you have done Dr Von gillern

If he can't fix it no one can

I like the fact he doesn't always go straight to surgury, but tries to find the least evasive solution.

Excellent care. A very positive experience.

I have had both knees replaced by Dr VonGillern, one about two years ago and one one year ago. I followed all the Drs instructions.after both operations and I have had no problems with either knee. I'm now able to walk with no pain. I couldn't be more happy with the results. I have recommended Dr VonGillern to several people when asked about my knees. The staff at ORA was very nice and very professional in the way I was treated.

ORA is the BEST! all the staff is so professional and compassionate. They never rush you, fit me in for appt. after an injury. Dr. Vongilern, Jen and their staff have always been so caring. I have referred several friends and family to ORA.

They have great doctors and take very good care of their patients. Always caring

ORA's staff has provided great care.

He is a no bull Dr right to the point. And I like that when it comes to my health.

So thankful that Dr. VonGillern was on call 20+ years ago when I had my accident. I wouldn’t trust anyone else but Hume to perform all the necessary surgeries and eventually a replacement! I honestly can’t say enough positive things about him and his sevices

Everything he told me was upfront and honest, also the crew worked me in same day for surgery which went well.

The staff at ORA was helpful and pleasant. Dr. VonGillern was nice, helpful and got me on my way quickly.

Dr. VonGillern has a good bedside manor, yet is direct as to understand that people's time is important.

I have experienced very professional care from ORA and Dr. VonGillern's staff. Everyone has been very quick to treat me and my needs and I feel that the care has been given to me in a very professional way from the entire staff. I look forward to having my knee replacement soon. My comfort has been given in a quick and concise manner and I appreciate the staff for their help.

Very nice staff and I have been very pleased with both of my doctors. Wonderful surgeons Dr. Vongillern and Dr. Hussain.

Very satisfied, with our 6 year olds. nurses andDr.VonGillerns gentilness.

The doctors and staff are awesome. I've been going here for 4+ years and they have always considered my needs along with my treatments...

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. As many people that go through there the wait times aren't bad. They explain everything to you and make you feel like they care. That is apparent throughout the staff, casts, nurses, and work comp representative.

He is a very professional and caring doctor

Dr.Von Gillern was the same wonderful doctor who took care of my hand almost 7 years ago even though I had to wear a cast for 6 weeks. He is still the most professional, kindest and thorough specialist that I have ever been treated by.

Best hand surgeon you'll find in this area!

Speedy diagnosis and quick acting by my doctor. Saved me from further problems!

Thank you Dr. VonGillern, MD for putting Humpty Dumpty back together again. Shattered 6 wrist bones and broke both arm bones, no easy task fixing me up.

I would recommend ORA to any one needing corrective surgery. The staff and Doctors are amazing. They walk you through each step, and follow up after surgery. I feel comfortable and secure in there care. I had hand surgery in 2015 and it was a great success. My Surgeon was Thos L Vongillern.

Absolutely. Great Dr. Good bedside manner and answers all questions efficiently. Recommended to me and very pleased. Looked for a while for another alternative to my thumb issue. Very happy with his technique.

Great experience, everyone was professional and kind.

All staff was professional and caring. Listenened to my concerns making the time there quick and efficient. I had an overall pleasant experience.

I was really pleased with my total experience at ORA My outcome has been better than I originally anticipated. I would choose them as my surgeons if I ever need on again. Dr. Von Gilliran was excellent.

I had hand surgery at Ora the Dr Von gillern he took very good care of me my hand left hand is back in shape and now my right hand is doing the same thing I will go back and surgery with the same thing I would definitely recommend Ora Ray

Dr VonGillern has changed my life. He properly diagnosed my issues with both wrists, discussed alternative procedures and did fabulous work on both. I'm in better shape than I was 10 years ago and I'm able to do whatever I want with no pain. He was easy to talk with, worked with on a couple concerns and I found him to be both professional and a great guy. I can't say enough good about the people at ORA or Dr VonGillern. Dr VonGillern is the best there is, period.

I worked with Dr. Vongilleren and he has always done really well to make things better and has always explained things and helped me improve the conditions that I have to deal with.

Very courteous. Prompt. I have seen Dr VonGillern before. And if you need a specialist for hand that is the person I would recommend. Very smart. great bedside manner. Answered any questions I had. Overall very good Dr. And good staff
