I had pain on the left side of my chest and my blood pressure had been rising frequently lately. Through my private medical insurance, I requested an appointment with a cardiologist and was scheduled with Dr. Vera Valeryevna Povarenkina. The doctor was kind and attentive. She prescribed medication to stabilize my blood pressure, ordered all necessary tests to properly assess my condition, and gave recommendations to improve my well-being. We need more professionals like her. The main strength of Dr. Vera Valeryevna’s work is her expertise, her ability to clearly explain the risks of improper self-treatment, to make a correct diagnosis, and to warn about possible consequences in a professional and tactful manner.

I was denied a urological operation due to heart rhythm disturbances. On the recommendation of acquaintances, I turned to Dr. Vera Valeryevna. The doctor listened carefully, thoroughly reviewed all my test results and examinations, and provided a consultative conclusion according to which I underwent a course of treatment. After taking the prescribed medications for a month, I am now ready for surgery. She is a doctor from God. I wish her good health and success in her difficult work — thank you so much! I will recommend this doctor to everyone in the future.What I liked: Professionalism, politeness, and attentive attitude toward patients.

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.

The first appointment with Vera Valeryevna was in April 2025. We came in with a complaint about heart rhythm. Help was needed for my mother (70 years old). Vera Valeryevna is a very attentive and competent doctor! Her professionalism inspires respect, and her attitude toward patients — admiration! Our treatment plan was revised, and new recommendations were given. As a result, we observed positive dynamics!

I visited three cardiologists with high blood pressure in expensive clinics. A minimum of questions were asked, quick keyboard work, then a bag of pills was prescribed and on the way. I was not satisfied with this answer and the result. And I applied to the St. Petersburg State University. At St. Petersburg State University, I turned to Vera Valeryevna Povarenkina, a cardiologist. After the previous doctors, it's day and night. I listened very carefully, and there were many parallel questions in the search for the cause of the increased blood pressure, and I was urgently sent for surgery. I spent two of them, everything is fine. I am currently under her supervision. A wonderful doctor, sensitive and caring about his work! Perfect for those who want to live and love life!
