Feedback from our Patients

I was admitted to the hospital on October 8 for an occluder implantation operation. In the cardiac surgery department, Larisa Yuryevna Kalashnikova was my attending physician. The doctor examined me before the operation, listened attentively, and ordered a cardiac CT scan. She explained why a planned operation is necessary for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and told me what the treatment plan was. Larisa Yuryevna also monitored me after the operation, asked about my well-being, and gave recommendations for further treatment. Thank you very much for the attentive and kind attitude towards the patient, for your high professionalism and devotion to your work!

Review of the doctorAlexey VasilevEndovascular Surgeon

I want to express huge gratitude to the vascular surgeon Andrey Alexandrovich Sorokin. I, Oksana Vasilyevna Novikova, underwent an operation with him — a right-sided eversion carotid endarterectomy, on September 28, 2026 (ICD-10: I65.2 Occlusion and stenosis of carotid artery), and I want to share my impressions. Andrey Alexandrovich is a God-given doctor. From the first appointment he won me over with his attentive attitude and detailed explanations. He did not just examine me and prescribe treatment, but told me in detail about my problem, explained all the risks and offered the optimal plan for the operation. His calmness and confidence gave me hope. The operation itself went successfully. Andrey Alexandrovich is a true professional in his field, a surgeon with golden hands. After the operation he did not leave me without attention, asked about my well-being, and gave clear recommendations for recovery. Thanks to his skill, I quickly got better and now feel much better. I especially want to note the doctor's human qualities: he is always polite, tactful and patient. He answers all my questions, even the seemingly most insignificant ones, in detail and clearly. You can feel that it is important to him not just to perform the operation, but for the patient to fully recover and feel comfortable. Huge thanks to Andrey Alexandrovich for his work, professionalism and sensitive attitude towards patients! A low bow! Respectfully, Oksana Vasilyevna Novikova.

Review of the doctorAndrey SorokinEndovascular Surgeon

I had a heart attack. In [...] of the city of Shakhty I was advised to see cardiac surgeon Gleb Irlamovich Kim. I waited 4 months, Gleb Irlamovich came, examined me, and said that coronary bypass surgery was necessary. In September 2026 I had coronary bypass surgery. The very best wishes and well-being to Gleb Irlamovich and the whole team.
