About a year ago, I began experiencing heart pain, arrhythmia, palpitations, and increasing fatigue even with minor physical exertion. After examinations at several clinics, it was determined that I had a bicuspid aortic valve and required replacement with a mechanical valve. Based on the recommendations of multiple physicians, I chose the N. I. Pirogov Clinic. After hospitalization, I learned that Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim would be performing the surgery. The operation was carried out on December 8. Before the surgery, Dr. Kim explained in detail why the operation was necessary, what would be done before and during the procedure, and how the postoperative period would proceed. After the operation, he explained the rehabilitation process and what was needed for a faster recovery. I recovered fairly quickly after the surgery. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Kim and all medical staff involved in the operation and postoperative care for their high level of responsibility, responsiveness, and professionalism. Thank you very much! What I liked: Responsiveness, attentiveness, and professionalism.

I came in regarding a repeat radiofrequency ablation (RFA). It took the doctor only a few minutes to make the diagnosis, confirm the need for surgery, and issue me a referral to be placed on the waiting list. One year later, he personally performed the operation. The level of care was “close to divine.” Thanks to Dr. Evgeny Igorevich and the entire Pirogov team, I now fall asleep and wake up to the steady rhythm of my own heart. I was impressed by the physician’s professionalism in the broadest sense, as well as by the coordinated work of the entire medical team and nursing staff.

For several years, I had been suffering from arrhythmia. We were advised to contact this clinic, and we have never regretted it. The doctor approached our case with great care and attention. The first time, a catheter ablation was performed, and my condition improved significantly. After three months, a follow-up examination was conducted, and the arrhythmia returned. Electrical cardioversion was then performed. We hope for a full recovery. The doctor is very attentive. The level of monitoring and care is outstanding.

I learned about my congenital heart defect accidentally one year ago during a routine medical examination, despite feeling completely well at the time. After that, I consulted multiple clinics and medical centers, but ultimately chose the Pirogov Clinic. I had a consultation with cardiac surgeon Dr. G.I. Kim, who explained in detail how the surgery would be performed and why it was necessary, as the defect had already reached a severe stage. He also explained how recovery and rehabilitation would proceed. I am very glad that I had an appointment with such a specialist. The aortic valve replacement surgery was performed on November 26. Dr. Kim monitored my condition both before and after the operation. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the entire clinic team, and especially to Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim.

My father required heart surgery, and we were advised to go to the Pirogov Clinic. After the operation, our attending physician was Larisa Yuryevna, who is a very knowledgeable specialist. She explained everything clearly, gave precise recommendations for further recovery and lifestyle changes after surgery. She is a very attentive and patient doctor, even with very demanding patients.
