Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Intervention at Monument Hospital with Dr Tums
Dr Tuma and the entire Cardio Staff were outstanding and very professional. Everyone including Dr Tuma put me at ease and shared what was going to happen next. I appreciate what each individual did and said to make the situation much better throughout the day. I can’t say enough positives about the experience.. Monument Health is fortunate to have such an outstanding physician as Dr Tuma and this includes the entire staff. Thank You!

Wonderful talented excellent physician!
Has been my physician for well over a year. Given me excellent care and advice. He is also approachable and does not rush you. Answers questions easily. Surrounds himself with other well qualified physicians and nurse practitioners. My care has been exceptional. Highly recommend him!

He is so very easy to understand and compassionate
Not only did he explain everything to me, but also included my wife. He had a printout of the actual CT scan which helped us understand the procedure he was going to do. It is rare that I like the Dr. and his nurse, but both of you are awesome. Dr. Reimer was correct in referring you to me. Now I understand why you needed that CT scan with contrast. I am so grateful to have you as my Dr.

Very
Dr. Tuma seems very knowledgeable. Has a way of giving patient all pertinent information in a manner that is easy to understand. He is interested in a patient’s concerns and is willing to take the time to discuss them. At no time did he give the impression that he was in a hurry to end the appointment. Looking forward to having him for a doctor.
