Dr. Chek is amazing

5 out of 5 stars

I have referred Dr. Cech to many friends over the years. I am now, I believe, a 20-year patient of a variety of things. Dr. Cech is an advocate of making me feel more confident as I age. He is very non-judgemental and very warm. I consider him a friend now. Hes very important to me. He always has safety first on his mind. I trust him very much.

Dr. introduced himself to my husband and I and explained risk and benefit of the procedure.

5 out of 5 stars

This visit was better than previous ones because I was actually seen by the doctor. Previous visits were with the PA who was not knowledgeable and did not explain my condition or treatment satisfactorily. I hope that Hartford Healthcare practices encourage doctors to take primary responsibility or at the very least ensure that PA are better trained and more knowledgeable if they are to assume this role in patient care.

5 out of 5 stars

During initial consult I was impressed by Dr. Cech's efficiency and professionalism. During my surgery visit, I was impressed with his warmth, caring, and communication. Two different sides of bedside manner, each surpassing expectations.

Dr. Cech has a very engaging personality, explains everything carefully, and isn’t afraid to give pragmatic advice, whereas many doctors are reluctant to advocate a particular decision by the patient.

People in the office are really great and he doesn't keep you waiting. If you go early you get called early. It's just a lovely place and everyone's nice and friendly.
