Dr. Tuchek, his colleagues,  and staff have been nothing less than phenomenal.   From day one, Dr. Tuchek has been a blessing to have as part of my Healthcare team.  He is caring,  genuine, and has a great bedside manner.  He makes himself available to his patients at a moments notice, which is rare these days.  Myself and my family are very greatfull to Dr. Tuchek and his team for all that they have done and continue to do for me as I recover.
