I was born with a congenital heart defect and underwent coarctation of the aorta surgery at age 8 in 1985. I’ve had hypertension for years, and now arrhythmia as well. Recently I experienced heart rate spikes up to 130 bpm and blood pressure reaching 170/100. After emergency stabilization, I began seeing Dr. Lyubov Albinovna. She has an exceptional, empathetic approach and understands both the medical and psychological challenges that cardiac patients face. A true professional. She’s always available and helped me adjust to my new condition with the right treatment plan.

I was admitted to the clinic on April 2 for a coronary angiography. Dr. Yulia Provotorova was very attentive and explained the entire process clearly. After a thorough examination, I received a stent in my right coronary artery and was discharged the next day in stable condition. I recommend the clinic’s specialists—they are highly skilled, caring, and do their work very well. Many thanks to the whole team!

I had numbness in my fingers and chest pain, so I called an ambulance. Doctors in Bryansk Regional Hospital recommended a cardiology center in St. Petersburg. Based on reviews, I chose the Pirogov Clinic. My doctor was Gleb Kim, and I am very pleased with his care. He explained everything clearly and concisely—even drew a diagram of the operation. The surgery went well, and I feel great now.

Doctor Dmitry Shmatov treated our father, Vasily Kolesnikov (b. 1947), in August–September 2024. He underwent a complex and lengthy open-heart surgery. Dr. Shmatov is an outstanding professional—attentive, responsible, and highly ethical. A man of his word and a surgeon with golden hands. Without him and his skilled team, things could have turned out very differently. We are confident that this is a doctor you can and should entrust your life and the lives of your loved ones to. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Shmatov and his team for saving our father and grandfather. His rofessionalism and dedication made a huge difference.

In December 2024, I had a stroke. After detailed examinations and consultations with a cardiologist, I was transferred to a regional cardiology center, where a coronary angiography revealed severe heart disease. Due to arrhythmia and chronic angina, I was advised to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery. I was offered clinics in Moscow and St. Petersburg. I chose St. Petersburg. In January 2025, during a consultation with Dr. Dmitry Shmatov, the operation was confirmed and quickly scheduled.Upon arrival, further tests were conducted. Dr. Gleb Kim explained clearly that open-heart surgery would carry high risks. I underwent successful coronary stenting. Dr. Kim monitored me post-surgery and gave detailed discharge instructions. Breathing became easier, and the angina disappeared. I truly appreciated his kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness. Yuri Golubev, Kostroma
