I was admitted to the hospital in a serious condition. During examination, the doctor carefully handled the situation and convinced me to undergo surgery. That is when I met this surgeon — and thank God for that. Despite all the tests, it was clear that bypass surgery would be difficult due to the condition of my vessels, and I was very worried. However, the professionalism of Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov gave me confidence. As I was told, there was a high risk of a fatal outcome, but thanks to this doctor’s hands, I am now able to write this positive review. I feel well now. I am grateful for the care he provided — he is truly dedicated and meticulously fights for every patient’s life. Together with his colleagues, they performed tremendous work during the operation and in the rehabilitation period. Thanks to their careful monitoring, I recovered quickly and am now at home, following treatment and staying in contact with the doctors remotely.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to the cardiac surgery department of the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka (St. Petersburg State University). According to the diagnosis, my father had multivessel coronary artery disease, progressing heart failure, and a high risk of complications from ischemic heart disease. The clinic organized hospitalization in the shortest possible time and performed open-heart and thoracic aorta surgery (CABG). Thanks to the highly qualified doctors, the operation and the initial recovery period in the hospital were successful. We would like to thank the group of doctors who worked directly with my father, especially the operating cardiac surgeon Ruslan Yusufovich Kappushev. Despite his busy schedule, he found time for a personal conversation and explained everything clearly regarding my father’s recovery. What I liked: Efficiency, competence, friendliness of doctors and staff, cleanliness of the wards, and good food.

I was referred to the Pirogov Clinic for surgery. A doctor from God — I am not afraid to say that. Very attentive, and throughout the entire treatment he carefully guided me back to a normal condition after surgery. He explained how to properly go through rehabilitation at home, which medications to take and for how long. Thank you very much! May God grant you health!
