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.

Dr. Tuchek was consulted immediately during my angiogram. He was present and his demeanor was comforting and reassuring during my diagnosis in which open heart surgery would be required. He followed up with me following with this procedure and gave clear and concise details on the surgery and recovery process. I am trusting and confident a serious medical challenge will be resolved successfully. Thank you to all for their kindness.
