I underwent coronary angiography in Pskov and was referred to the Pirogov Clinic under a government-funded quota. It turned out that I needed open-heart surgery. The operation was successful. I spent very little time in intensive care and was transferred to the ward the very next day. I recovered very well and quickly. The staff were extremely helpful. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov assisted during my surgery and then actively supported me afterward. He examined me, changed my dressings, and explained everything in detail. He is an excellent doctor and a wonderful person. Thank you very much!

My cardiologist referred me to the regional hospital in Smolensk, where I underwent coronary angiography. It showed that I had serious heart problems and needed treatment at the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka (St. Petersburg State University). My angina had become very severe, and fortunately, I was called to the clinic just three days later. The administrators personally called me several times and followed my preparation for surgery. On July 31, 2026, I underwent surgery. The evening before, Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov prepared me for the operation, explained everything in detail, and reassured me. The surgery went very well. I woke up in intensive care, and two days later I was transferred to the ward. Recovery was not without difficulties, but Alexey Alexandrovich came to see me every day. He is truly an extraordinary person! He knows when to be strict, when to praise, and when to encourage. Thank you for giving me a new chance at life! What I liked: The attentiveness, attitude, and care of all the department staff.

I suffered two heart attacks in 2014 and had stents placed, which helped a lot. But in 2026, my condition became much worse: sweating, shortness of breath, and fatigue. More stents were placed, but they did not help. I was referred to the Pirogov Center for surgery. On July 24, I arrived at the clinic. It turned out that my heart was in such a condition that the operation could not be postponed, and on July 28 I underwent surgery on an urgent, life-saving basis. They practically brought me back to life. I am deeply grateful personally to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov, as well as to the entire staff of this department. Alexey Alexandrovich took part in my operation, then explained everything to me afterward, visited me often, and examined me. Now I am being discharged and feel excellent. I would like to wish him happiness, health, professional growth, family well-being, and all the very best. Thank you for my life!

Last August, I underwent stent placement, but after some time my condition began to deteriorate. On June 15, 2026, I contacted the coordinator and sent in my medical records, and I was immediately called in. On July 21, I was admitted to the cardiac surgery department. I first underwent additional examinations, and on July 28 I had surgery. I was never left without attention, either before or after the operation. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov was my cardiac surgeon and also helped me afterward. Recovery was quick. I now feel well, although the incisions are still slightly painful. Alexey Alexandrovich constantly talked to me about how to behave and how to recover, cared for me, and changed my dressings. He is a talented doctor and a wonderful person. Many thanks to him personally and to the entire team!
