Feedback from our Patients
Since September 1, 2026, my husband was in for surgery. The attending physician was V. V. Balakhonov. I want to express gratitude for the responsiveness and professionalism. To any question there was always an answer and advice. Thank you for treating my husband.

Review of the doctorVasily BalakhonovCardiac SurgeonI 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.

Review of the doctorGleb KimCardiac SurgeonI liked the cardiologist Nadezhda Shipova: professional, inspired trust, clearly answered all questions about telecardiology, and gave recommendations that I am using now. I got to her by chance, I urgently needed a cardiologist, and now I have already recommended her to my mother and grandmother.

Review of the doctorNadezhda ShipovaCardiologist, Functional Diagnostics PhysicianCardiovascular surgeon, Candidate of Medical Sciences (PhD) Balakhonov Vasily Vasilyevich on August 21, 2026 successfully performed coronary artery bypass surgery on my husband, 72 years old. I express huge gratitude for the high professionalism, sensitivity, responsiveness and care, the attentive attitude to the patient and the patient's relatives. Before discharge, clear recommendations were given. When the patient had questions in the postoperative period, an oral consultation by phone was provided. I recommend everyone to see this doctor.
