Dr. Boucek left a huge impression on me and my family. He was with us from the beginning when I found out my son, Joshua Neal, needed a heart transplant in 1991. Dr. Boucek was not just a doctor . . . he always made things easy to understand and was one of the most genuinely caring doctors I have ever met before or since that time. And believe me . . . I've met MANY doctors. Dr. Boo - as Josh called him, is kind, intelligent, extremely knowledgable in his field and spent MANY hours at the hospital. He will NEVER be forgotten. It was a sad day for us when he left Vanderbilt. Seattle is very lucky to have him. Thank you Dr. Boo!

Dr. Boucek is simply put - the very best. He is caring, intelligent, and kind with all his families that he treats. Our daughter Sarah is alive and well because of Dr. Boucek's care. We wish he would move to TN!
