We were at the clinic with my mother for surgical treatment. The first thing that really surprised and pleased me was that there was no red tape, going from office to office, as is usually the case. The whole process has been precisely worked out and is aimed at saving the time and effort of sick people admitted to the hospital. All staff, starting from receptionists and ending with doctors. Every staff member is very attentive, polite and helpful. The department, like the entire clinic, is very clean and the rooms are comfortable. There is a TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, wardrobe for clothes and shoes. The food is wonderful. Doctors monitor patients constantly and come for check-ups several times a day. Before the surgery, they provide consultations and explain everything in detail. Perhaps, after reading my review, someone might think, “That can’t be true—everything can’t be that good!” But we’ve experienced it ourselves and can say—it really can. Everything here is done to help patients as quickly as possible and restore their health. Ruslan Yusufovich Kappushev was our attending physician. Knowledgeable, always positive, attentive doctor. He was in touch with us all the time, 24/7. He explained everything in detail, supported, and encouraged my mother after the operation. Every day we wondered when he even rested or went home! Thanks to his golden hands, deep knowledge, and sense of responsibility, my mother recovered quickly. He kept us optimistic and gave us confidence that everything would be fine. A huge thank you to all the doctors, nurses, and orderlies—to the entire team of this wonderful clinic—for their help, compassion, attention, and responsible attitude to their work, and for the atmosphere of kindness they create. And of course, our sincere gratitude to our attending physician, Dr. Russlan Yusufovich Kappushev! We wish him many years of life, good health, and success in his difficult but very important and noble work!

I was diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis, and at an appointment in Cherepovets the doctors recommended TAVI. About six months later I was invited to St. Petersburg, and once again found myself in the caring hands of medical “magicians”. My deepest gratitude to surgeon Aleksey Sergeyevich Vasiliev for an excellently performed operation and for his support during the postoperative period. An excellent, caring, and very attentive doctor—a true professional! He helped extend my life! From the bottom of my heart, I wish good health to Aleksey Sergeyevich and his family, as well as to all the staff of the cardiac surgery department! I liked the way the staff treated patients—not a single rude word, very attentive attitude!

City of Vologda
At a consultation in Vologda, after reviewing my ultrasound, Holter monitor, and ECG, Maksim Sergeevich recommended preparing for aortic valve replacement. It’s a complex operation and needed to be done. So I came to the cardiac center ready for surgery. On the eve of the operation, during rounds, Maksim Sergeevich asked whether I was ready and whether I was afraid. I was confident about the outcome because I trusted the doctor’s skill and expertise. My huge thanks to Maksim Sergeevich—thanks to him I am living, working, and enjoying life again. I also recommend Dr. Maksim Sergeevich to others: go to him for surgery with peace of mind. Wishing you good luck, success in your work, and strong health, Maksim Sergeevich.

I came from another city specifically to this clinic—and I wasn’t mistaken. My enormous thanks to Vera Valeryevna for her attentiveness and help; you immediately feel a professional approach and a completely different level of experience. She carefully reviewed my entire medical history, not just the specialty-related parts. There is full control and a clear understanding of the next steps. We selected completely new medications. Right during my visit she called colleagues about my comorbidities and coordinated treatment with them. She also advised how to obtain some treatments free of charge. Appointments run precisely on time, tests are targeted. Diagnosis and a treatment plan were provided immediately. In addition, Vera Valeryevna built a full strategy, with a clear understanding of what, with what, and how to treat; she also helped beyond her own specialty, taking into account the specifics of my case. I continue treatment under her supervision. I have complete trust—and I can already feel the results.

After undergoing coronary angiography at her place of residence, my mother was referred to the Pirogov Clinic in St. Petersburg at 154 Fontanka River Embankment. On July 18, 2025, Ruslan Yusupovich Kappushev performed an off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. The doctor is attentive to his patients. An excellent professional in his field. A doctor you can easily trust. I would also like to note the work of all the medical staff in the department: doctors and nurses. They are all great. You can feel that everyone truly wants to help. Thank you very much!
