I came to the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka because of chest pain. After being examined, it was decided I needed coronary artery bypass surgery. The operation went well. I want to express my sincere gratitude to my attending physician, Dr. Ilshat Shamilievich Asadullin, and the whole team for their professionalism. Everything was top-notch. Thank you so much!

This year, I started experiencing severe chest pain—even while resting. I couldn’t do any physical activity. I first went to a hospital in Vologda, where they told me they couldn’t perform a stenting procedure and that I would need major open-heart surgery. I was referred to St. Petersburg, where Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim treated me. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable specialist—thank you so much! During testing, they discovered I had cardiomyopathy, and open-heart surgery would have been too risky. Dr. Kim coordinated everything and made sure I could get a coronary artery stent instead. I’m feeling great now! He’s not only an excellent doctor but a wonderful person. He also gave me detailed instructions and recommendations to follow at home.

On February 19, my father was urgently admitted to the cardio surgery department at Pirogov Clinic. Thanks to Dr. Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov, the hospitalization process was swift, and my father underwent emergency open-heart surgery that same day. Professor Shmatov, a Doctor of Medical Sciences, performed the operation flawlessly. He is a true professional—knowledgeable, attentive, and compassionate. Just one week post-surgery, my father was already climbing stairs and feeling significantly better, despite his life having hung by a thread. Dr. Shmatov gave him a second chance at life, and we are endlessly grateful. We wish this remarkable doctor continued health, happiness, and success. His expertise in modern cardiac diagnostics and treatment is unmatched, and above all, he is a wonderful human being!
