Cardiovascular 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.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the doctor who performed my grandmother’s surgery. From the very first day, he showed himself to be an attentive, compassionate, and professional specialist. He explained everything in detail, reassured us, and gave us confidence in a successful outcome. The operation was successful, and her recovery is going well. I would especially like to note the doctor’s humane attitude: he not only provided excellent medical care, but also personally helped my grandmother — supporting her and taking her by the arm when she was learning to walk after the operation. This was very important and meaningful to our family. Thank you for your work, kindness, and high level of professionalism! We wish you good health, strength, and many grateful patients.
