My father and I came to the Pirogov Institute on referral from our local doctor. We came from another city and were admitted to the cardiac surgery department, where we met Larisa Yuryevna Kalashnikova. We express our deep gratitude to her for her work and professionalism. She is a very attentive and competent doctor. Larisa Yuryevna gave all the necessary recommendations, and the treatment helped. Since we have something to compare it with, I can say that this is the best place where people truly receive help. What I liked: Everything. We did not expect it to be this good.

On behalf of our entire Kiselev family from Sokol, Vologda Region, we would like to say a huge thank you to Ilshat Shamilevich Asadullin. When our father needed open-heart surgery, we were very worried and afraid. But we were incredibly lucky to meet such a doctor. Ilshat Shamilevich is not only a talented cardiovascular surgeon and a true professional, but also a very kind, sensitive, and attentive person. Throughout the entire treatment, he was always in touch, found time to answer our questions, and explained everything in detail. We had many questions and calls, but not once did we feel that we were bothering or distracting him. His calmness, patience, and sincere involvement helped us cope with our anxiety and believe that everything would be all right. Thank you for the successful operation, for your golden hands, huge heart, and humanity. Thanks to doctors like you, one understands that medicine is not only about professionalism, but also about caring for people. We are endlessly grateful to you for our father. We wish you strong health, happiness, well-being, and as many grateful patients as possible. May the kindness you give to people every day return to you many times over.

I consulted a cardiologist in my hometown in the Vologda Region and, based on the results of coronary angiography, was referred to this clinic for heart surgery — bypass surgery. Valeria Evgenyevna clearly explained everything about my diagnosis and gave recommendations for the further rehabilitation period. I express my deep gratitude for your professionalism, kindness, sensitivity, and attentiveness to patients. What I liked: Great work capacity, patience, and high medical professionalism worthy of international standards.

I had arrhythmia since childhood. Doctors prohibited me from doing sports, except chess, but in my teenage years I successfully ignored their recommendations and started doing sports. At 17, I was diagnosed with WPW syndrome. Over time, the arrhythmia stopped occurring in everyday life and appeared only occasionally during extreme physical exertion, which caused a loss of power during sports and increased the risk of injury during freeriding, rafting, rope jumping, cross-country cycling races, and other activities. Several years ago, I decided to restore my health and athletic fitness as much as possible. I searched for a doctor based on specialists’ recommendations. At the initial appointment, Evgeny Igorevich assessed my condition and, based on previous studies, suggested radiofrequency ablation of the accessory conduction pathway. During the procedure, together with a team of equally competent colleagues, Evgeny Igorevich found and ablated the extra bundles of conducting fibers that caused the arrhythmia. I am completely satisfied with the operation. A couple of weeks after surgery, I had already tested my “new engine firmware” on a rafting trip down the Krasnenkaya River, over class 4 and 5 rapids. My heart works perfectly — it did not even falter. Thank you very much!

I had my first surgery in February — bypass surgery. The second surgery was in May, when my left carotid artery was cleaned. Both operations were successful. Thank you to the doctor. I liked everything. Good attitude toward patients.
