The physician I visited with knew his material and presented it in a caring fashion. I'm a retired administrative RN with surgical and cardiac experience. He passed my initial scrutiny.

Dr. Tuchek is a great doctor. I will definitely recommend him to any family or friends in need of a fem-fem bypass. He's done 2 on me. My aorta is now blocked but he does work on aortas.

BY ME BEING A RESPIRATOY THERAPIST MY SELF, I CAN TRULY APPRECIATE HIS PROFESSIONALISM, AND HIS CALM DEAMENDOR, AND HOW WELL HE EXPLAIN HOW THE PROCEDURE WOULD GO. I TRULY FELT HIS SINCERITY, ALL PATIENT NEEDS THAT REASURRENCE THAT THEY ARE IN GOOD HANDS, AND MOST OF ALL HE REFLECTS THAT HE SINCERLY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS. THEODORE ELLIS.

I wanted a cardiologist who was not too old, yet was experienced. Dr. Tuchek filled that requirement. He had a pleasing demeanor, thoroughly explained my medical conditions and the steps to be taken for further investigation and monitoring. One of which, was to put me on a medication to deal with a recently found condition. He left me with a feeling of confidence in him.
