Reviews of Alexey Vasilev

My mom and I came to the clinic in a rather serious condition. Mom is 80 years old, diagnosis: "degenerative heart disease, grade 3 aortic stenosis with aortic insufficiency". In addition, a concomitant disease — "multiple myeloma". Acquaintances recommended that we see specifically Alexey Sergeyevich Vasilyev as a TAVI specialist. At the first appointment Alexey Sergeyevich explained our situation and the plan of action before the operation in detail. He was very attentive and immediately won us over. Mom said: "I am ready to trust this doctor". Then, following his recommendations, all the necessary examinations, tests and the operation were carried out. I recommend Alexey Sergeyevich to everyone, he is a true professional and a true doctor! The team of doctors of the cardiac surgery department of the N. I. Pirogov clinic. They carried out all the necessary preoperative examinations and scheduled the operation taking the tests into account (this was very important for us, since there is a concomitant oncological disease). The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) was successfully performed by cardiovascular surgeon Alexey Sergeyevich Vasilyev! Implantation of a permanent endocardial pacemaker was also performed by surgeon Andrey Alexandrovich Sorokin. Many thanks to Alexey Sergeyevich and Andrey Alexandrovich for their work, for prolonging the lives of people, our loved ones! It is so important when a doctor not only takes responsibility, but also says words of support and gives hope! Throughout the preparation and after the operation we were accompanied by the attending physician Larisa Yuryevna Kalashnikova. I would like to note her attentive attitude towards a patient of such advanced age. She explained very patiently and clearly everything the doctors were doing, and this really calmed mom, and she went to the operation completely without fear. This is very important! And in general, many thanks to all the staff of the department. Everyone is very friendly and attentive! A professional, humane and attentive approach!

I want to express huge gratitude to the doctors of the clinic. Huge thanks to the attending physician, cardiac surgeon Alexey Sergeyevich Vasilyev, and to cardiac surgeon Andrey Alexandrovich Sorokin! These are incredibly kind, patient, attentive and understanding doctors. Many thanks for the professionalism and attentive attitude towards patients.

The doctor performed my operation and placed a stent. My friends recommended him. Everything was done professionally and with high quality. I feel well and was discharged home the next day. I recommend him as an excellent doctor. I also received recommendations for the next stage of treatment. I liked the entire hospital staff.

I arrived at the clinic in quite a serious condition. I could only breathe with the help of an oxygen tank. The doctor carefully studied my medical history and organized a medical consultation to determine the further treatment plan. The doctor explained in clear terms the need for surgical intervention, since my heart was in critical condition at that time. He showed great tact, politeness, and respect. A doctor with golden hands! I wish every patient could have such a doctor. I highly recommend him and am grateful that fate brought me to him. What I liked: Attentiveness, sensitivity, humanity, and quick problem-solving.

On October 6, 2025, I was admitted to the Pirogov Clinic for a scheduled procedure, and on October 7, I underwent a minimally invasive heart vessel stenting surgery. The operation was performed by the remarkable surgeon Dr. Alexey Sergeyevich Vasilyev. It was my first experience of this kind. I felt a bit nervous in the operating room, but Dr. Alexey Sergeyevich reassured me with his words and gave me confidence that I was in good hands. The operation was successfully completed — as they say among naval pilots, it was “top-class flying!” After the procedure, Dr. Vasilyev spoke with me, explained my anatomical features, told me what type of stent was used, and gave detailed recommendations for recovery. I am currently feeling well. Alexey Sergeyevich, thank you so much! You are a surgeon from God! I wish you good health, success, and new professional achievements! I would also like to express my deep gratitude to all the medical staff of the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka. Everyone there is a true professional in their field! What I liked: Politeness. Attentiveness. Sincere care. Many thanks to everyone!
