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.

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.

Dr. Tuchek has been my hero for many years! He listens thoughtfully to your questions, thinks before he addresses your question and answers in language you can understand. He never rushes you. He reviews your medical file BEFORE he walks through the door so he knows your history so time can be spent on your immediate history. For any serious cardiac surgery, I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone.
