From March 20 to March 24, I was hospitalized at the Pirogov Clinic in the cardiac surgery department (for heart rhythm restoration). My attending physician was Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov. I would like to sincerely thank him for his highest professionalism and kind attitude. I wish him continued professional success and the fulfillment of everything he has planned. Many thanks.

Review of the doctorRuslan KappushevEndovascular SurgeonI came to Andrey Alexandrovich with a complicated situation. Five months earlier, a fistula had been created for me in another region, but it did not function due to very thin veins, and a second operation was required. Andrey Alexandrovich quickly found a solution to my problem and proposed surgery. I agreed with confidence, as the doctor inspired trust from our very first meeting. His professionalism and sensitivity reassured me, my fear disappeared, and I became confident not only in the success of the operation but also in its results. He is very attentive, kind, and compassionate. Andrey Alexandrovich Sorokin is a true professional. Thank you very much!

Review of the doctorAndrey SorokinEndovascular SurgeonIn 2024, my husband was examined for shortness of breath at a clinic in Vologda. Based on the results, he was assigned disability group II. In 2025 he had an appointment with a doctor who recommended that he undergo coronary angiography in St. Petersburg under the compulsory medical insurance program. This procedure was performed by the excellent doctor Gleb Irlamovich Kim, who later became my husband’s attending physician during valve replacement surgery. My husband notes his attentiveness, responsibility, kindness, and competence. Thank you very much, doctor! We hope that everything will gradually improve and that my husband’s health will get better.

Review of the doctorGleb KimCardiac SurgeonAfter suffering two severe cases of COVID-19, my husband developed serious heart complications. On the advice of his cardiologist, he scheduled an appointment with a cardiologist from this clinic who came to our city of Vologda in October 2025. Thanks to this consultation, in December he was invited under the compulsory medical insurance program for coronary angiography, after which he was offered valve replacement surgery. Maxim Sergeyevich Kamenskikh performed the operation on March 13, 2026, and everything went well. Now my husband is at home and feeling fairly well. We hope his quality of life will improve after the surgery. Thank you, doctor!
