On June 30, 2026, I underwent bypass surgery. The operation was successful, and today I am being discharged and feel excellent. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov was my cardiac surgeon. He is a doctor with a capital “D” and a wonderful person. After the surgery, he explained everything in detail, answered all my questions, and changed my dressings. Thanks to doctors like Alexey Alexandrovich, recovery is quick and painless.

I ended up undergoing heart surgery unexpectedly. I came to the clinic for cancer surgery, but during the examination it was discovered that my heart problems had to be addressed first. Many thanks to the entire cardiac surgery department, and especially to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov. I underwent valve replacement and bypass surgery within a very short time. Alexey Alexandrovich was by my side at every stage. He explained everything very clearly, and I felt no fear before the operation at all. The surgery was complex, but everything went wonderfully. I spent three days in intensive care and then continued recovering in the department. Now I am being discharged and feel excellent. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Alexey Alexandrovich. He is a wonderful specialist. I wish him all the best!

I express my deep gratitude to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov for his professionalism and sensitive attitude. I underwent bypass surgery on June 15, and everything went wonderfully. I recovered very quickly and now feel well. I did not even know that such a wonderful clinic existed. I had even been refused treatment in Moscow and had to use nitrates several times a day, but now all of that is behind me. Alexey Alexandrovich is an excellent specialist, knows his work, and inspires trust.

I first came to the clinic to see a cardiologist because of heart pain and shortness of breath. I underwent stress echocardiography and coronary angiography, and based on the results, CABG surgery was indicated. The surgery was performed on March 19, 2026, and I recovered quickly afterward. The operation was performed with high quality. During the preoperative examination, it was also discovered that I had a problem with my carotid artery. When I was discharged, I was immediately given a referral for the next operation. I was hospitalized again on June 19, and on June 22 I underwent carotid artery surgery. The operation was successful, and by the evening I was already in the ward. Now I feel wonderful. I would like to say a big thank you to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov. He participated in both of my operations, changed my dressings, and helped me recover. I will recommend this specialist to everyone. Excellent clinic, very polite and kind staff.

I suffered a heart attack in 2000 without realizing it at the time, and then in 2025 I had another heart attack. In February 2025, an echocardiogram showed a serious reduction in ejection fraction and scar changes in the myocardium. I was hospitalized in a cardiology department, where a stent was placed, but I did not feel better, and the ejection fraction remained just as low. I was helped only at the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka. I was hospitalized on June 9, 2026. An echocardiogram and coronary angiography were performed, and the results were discouraging — the damage was serious. Still, the decision was made to perform surgery. On June 11, I underwent surgery. The next day, I was transferred from the ICU to the ward, and recovery went quickly. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov was always nearby. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, visited me, and changed my dressings. Many thanks to Alexey Alexandrovich for the excellent surgery, care, and attention. I will recommend this doctor to everyone. What I liked: The location, the attitude of all clinic staff, and the care.
