Patient Reviews

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.

The Ozerov family expresses its deep gratitude to Professor, cardiovascular surgeon, Doctor of Medical Sciences Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov for the successful open-heart surgery performed on January 27, 2026 (replacement of two valves and removal of an aneurysm), which saved the life of Gennady Dmitrievich Ozerov. Dmitry Viktorovich is one of the leading cardiac surgery specialists in Russia, a true professional capable of successfully performing operations of any complexity, and a remarkable person who supports his patients and sincerely cares about their health and emotional well-being. Dmitry Viktorovich has created a highly professional, efficient, and well-coordinated team. Many thanks to Maxim Sergeyevich Kamensky, the entire operating team, the intensive care unit staff, the cardiac surgery department staff, and the attending physician Larisa Yuryevna Kalashnikova for your care, attentiveness, and professionalism. We wish Dmitry Viktorovich and his team strong health, success in your demanding work, and new professional achievements. With respect and gratitude, The Ozerov Family

• Minimally invasive valve replacement

Heart attack. I was admitted under a government quota from Bryansk. Urgent surgery was required — 98% stenosis. I recovered quickly after the operation, for which I am very grateful. Thank you very much! The bypass surgery was performed brilliantly.

• Coronary artery bypass grafting

I was admitted for coronary angiography, and a stent was placed. Everything was done carefully, with genuine attention to the patient. It is pleasant that he is young yet experienced. I can definitely recommend him, as well as the Pirogov Clinic overall.

• Coronarography
• Coronary artery stenting

Last spring, I felt pain behind my sternum for the first time. I consulted a doctor, underwent coronary vessel examination, and was told that surgery was necessary. On January 26, I underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. I am very grateful to cardiac surgeon Alexey Alexandrovich, who was part of the surgical team during my operation. Before the surgery, he explained in detail what awaited me and continued to monitor me afterward. I also thank the entire medical staff of the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka (St. Petersburg State University). Thank you very much!
