I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful cardiologist, Dr. Yulia Dmitrievna Provotorova, for her sensitivity toward patients, her high level of professionalism, and her kind heart. During my stay at the clinic for a radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure, I always felt comfortable asking questions that concerned me and receiving clear and understandable answers. A few weeks after discharge, I can confidently say that my condition has improved. I wish the entire team of the cardiac surgery department good health, happiness, and patience. Thank you for your hard and important work!

Since 2022, I have been seeing Vera Valeryevna Povarennikina regarding arrhythmia. Over the years, I have received numerous competent consultations and valuable advice. The doctor is very attentive and tactful. Her recommendations are always effective. Many thanks to Vera Valeryevna for her considerate and professional care.

My husband was experiencing severe headaches and chest pain in another region. The treatment he received there did not bring any positive results. He heard about the doctors in Saint Petersburg and, by referral, went to the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka to see the surgeon Ruslan Yusufovich Kappushev. After his surgery and follow-up care under his attending physician, Larisa Yuryevna Kalashnikova, thank God, my husband began to feel calm and no longer suffered from those debilitating headaches. We are deeply grateful to the staff of this clinic for their professionalism and dedicated work! We wish health and prosperity to everyone working for the good of others and themselves!

After reviewing my medical history, Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov clearly recommended an urgent surgery. Having familiarized myself with his extensive experience, and thanks to his kindness and human qualities, I never had a moment of doubt about a successful outcome. The surgery took place on March 25, 2025. It was a complex operation: aortic valve and aorta replacement. Dmitry Viktorovich successfully performed the operation using a minimally invasive approach, which allowed for both a good cosmetic result and a faster recovery. At the moment, I feel great and am undergoing rehabilitation. I am deeply grateful to Dmitry Viktorovich for giving me a new life. It's unknown how fate would have turned out if I hadn’t met this God-given doctor on my life’s path — Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov. Sincerely, Denis Zhurin.

I consulted Dr. Mariya Vladimirovna Starosotskaya. She carefully reviewed the results of my preliminary tests, lab work, and explanations, and prescribed treatment appropriate for my age and health condition. As a result of the atrial fibrillation treatment at the Pirogov High Medical Technologies Clinic, my condition significantly improved: my average heart rate decreased from 85 to 60 bpm; now I can walk 0.5–0.8 km at a brisk pace without shortness of breath; I feel much better. Many thanks to Dr. Starosotskaya and to all the doctors, nurses, and orderlies who surrounded me and other patients with care, attention, and compassion. This clinic, its doctors, medical staff, facilities, and overall kindness toward patients are truly outstanding. In all my 78 years, I have never encountered such attentive care.
