Thomas VonGillern
M.D.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

Excellent service and skills from all involved at ORA,. Very pleased with friendly staff and excellent doctor.

Great surgery and diagnosis, etc. information on Work status, next steps after surgery, whether I would wear a cast and brace or not and how long was not well mentioned along the way. Had no clue I was going to wear a cast for 6 weeks when I came in for a check up.

Dr. VonGillern is excellent! He is the most recent ORA doctor I have seen. I have been using ORA since 2000 and have recommended them to other people. They are friendly and knowledgeable.

I am embarrassed to admit it, but I have a long history with ORA, Dr Vongillern and Dr Gerdes. I feel I have a "team" with not only the doctors, but with the entire staff. Unfortunately, there are many familiar faces there, all who are friendly, helpful and professional. My latest procedure there went so well and with great results! My sincere thanks to everyone involved.

I use the Moline office and Dr VonGillern is my doctor. He is very pleasant and has always been able to help me. I've had numerous issues and would not go to any other orthopedic place. ORA is excellent and caring.

Excellent care!

The atmosphere is very friendly and you don’t have to wait very long they are very timely.

Dr. VonGillern is the BEST! I am so lucky to have him as my Ortho surgeon! IF He ever retires, I'm going with!!(lol)

They have the very best doctors in the area. They are not there for the money they are actually there to make people better, if they can’t fix it they tell you straight out and are honest about it. Won’t go to any other surgeon for anything unless they don’t have a doctor to handle that problem.

I've been seeing Dr. VonGillern for a few years. Really like him. Almost always on time for appointments; talks to me about what I'm there for (Basal Joint Arthritis) and what level of treatment I'd like (more shots in my thumb joints or start considering the operation). Chats a bit during giving me shots to distract me and always says to call him when I need him (no specific return time so leaves some of the decision making about how I'd like to proceed with my treatment).

Had knee trouble many scopes. Finally went to Dr VonGillern and he quickly determined that knee replacement was needed. Very happy with results. Always direct on all procedures. Skills were beyond approach. Have and will continue to highly recommend him. Thanks Dr. VonGillern.

Dr.Vongillern is the best. I have 2 new knees and a new hip. All working well thanks to him. Relief from pain with more motion. Thanks again.

The only doctor who could fix my wrist and thumb after 8 years of agony! Such a wonderful guy - very empathetic and intelligent.

I have all the faith in the world in Dr. Vongillern. He has performed right knee surgery following car accident, Right and left total knee and right total hip. Very good out come with each. Thanks

Dr. Von Gillern is the best doctor I've ever known. I have had multiple surgeries on my hands & he has done an excellent job.

Dr. VonGillern is a very knowledgeable orthopedist. I was very pleased with him and appreciated his care and skills. The only negative things about my experience were the long waits in the office and his lack of describing treatment and what to expect. But he is an excellent doctor.

Put me back to gather after head on car wreck
