Patient Reviews

After severe stress, I began experiencing heart problems. Fortunately, a cardiac surgeon from St. Petersburg, Dr. Ruslan Yusufovich Kappushev, came to our city for consultations. After an examination, he recommended valve replacement surgery. He is a doctor from God and a person with a big heart. Thank you so much, Dr. Ruslan Yusufovich — thanks to you, I have a second life. I recommend this doctor to everyone. With respect, Aybazova Lyuba. What I liked: Competent, attentive, and a true professional.

• Minimally invasive valve replacement

In May 2025, I was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction and had a stent placed in my hometown. The cardiologist said that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) would still be necessary. Opinions were divided — to do it or not. But after my wife and I had a consultation with Dr. Ilshat Shamilevich Asadullin, all doubts disappeared. Dr. Asadullin is a doctor from God! He calmly and clearly explained everything to us and described how the operation would proceed. On October 30, 2025, at St. Petersburg State University’s clinic, I underwent CABG surgery — it went successfully. I was very lucky that Dr. Asadullin was my attending physician. He is a doctor with a capital “D”, a wonderful and kind person. I was under his constant supervision. He visited me several times a day, changed dressings, ordered examinations, and stayed in touch with my wife at all times. Before discharge, he gave me very detailed recommendations. Now I am back home, and on behalf of our entire family, we express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Asadullin. We wish him strong health and continued success in his work. May all the kindness he gives to his patients return to him many times over, and may faith, hope, and love always live in his good heart!

• Coronary artery bypass grafting

I was admitted to the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka for a scheduled aortic valve replacement on September 22. I was immediately assigned Dr. Ilshat Shamilevich Asadullin as my attending physician. During our conversation, the doctor clearly explained everything that awaited me. The next day, he pleasantly surprised me by saying that the surgical method had been changed to a less invasive and more suitable one in my case. Every morning, even before 8 a.m., Dr. Asadullin made his rounds, personally asked about my condition, and informed me about upcoming procedures and tests. Right after the surgery, he checked on me and called my relatives to tell them that the operation was successful and to report on my condition. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Asadullin for his care, sincere kindness, and high professionalism. I really liked the clinic — especially its highly qualified medical staff.

• Minimally invasive valve replacement

I had an appointment with Dr. Povarenkina, a knowledgeable and very good doctor. Diagnosis: paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation. I was placed on the government quota list for an RFA procedure and arrived in October upon invitation. During the first surgery something went wrong, so it had to be postponed for a month. The procedure was performed by Dr. Anton Andreevich, and the second time it went successfully. He is a very kind, friendly doctor who smiled and offered support. The entire operating team was excellent — they worked quickly, smoothly, and understood each other without words. I am very grateful to the whole staff. If I ever need another procedure, I will come only here. Huge thanks to everyone!

• Radiofrequency ablation

I was admitted to the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka on October 20, 2025, for heart surgery. Viktor Alexandrovich is a doctor from God. Thank you very much for your difficult but so necessary work. Viktor Alexandrovich was my attending physician. From the very first minutes of communication until discharge, he was very attentive, polite, and tactful. He came to my room constantly, gave competent recommendations, and explained what needed to be done after the operation. Dear Viktor Alexandrovich! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the highest level of professionalism, sensitivity, and mastery. Your work is not just medical care — it is true salvation, support, and hope for patients and their families. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and for the confidence you give your patients in the most difficult moments. I wish you strong health, professional success, grateful patients, and the strength to continue your important and noble work! With deep respect and sincere gratitude, Borisova Galina Nikolaevna
