Patient Reviews

I underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at the N.I. Pirogov Clinic on September 23, 2025. Dr. Larisa Yuryevna Kalashnikova supervised my treatment before and after the surgery. We thank the specialist for her professionalism. What I liked: A competent and attentive cardiologist. I recommend her as an excellent specialist.

• Coronary artery bypass grafting

I visited a cardiologist because of heart pain. After a full examination, it was decided that I needed coronary artery bypass surgery. Such operations are not performed in our city, so all my medical records were sent to the N.I. Pirogov Clinic, and I was urgently invited for a scheduled admission. My attending doctor was Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim, who carefully studied all my test results and analyses, thoroughly explained the upcoming operation, and paid attention to my other health conditions. The surgery went well. Upon discharge, Dr. Kim provided recommendations for further rehabilitation. I really liked the doctor — he has golden hands. What I liked: The precise and well-coordinated work of the entire staff. Attentive, responsive, and kind people.

• Coronary artery bypass grafting

I came to the clinic for a minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure and was treated by cardiac surgeon Dr. Anton Andreevich Sheremet. I was deeply impressed by the calm yet precise and well-coordinated work of the surgical team, as well as by Dr. Sheremet’s professionalism and confidence. I felt I was in safe hands! I highly recommend Dr. Sheremet as an excellent cardiac surgeon. What I liked: Professionalism, confidence, and the clear, coordinated work of the team.

• Radiofrequency ablation

I was referred for a minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure by cardiologist Dr. L. Yu. Kalashnikova, who sees patients in our city. Upon arrival at the Pirogov Clinic, I was placed under the care of cardiologist Dr. Yulia Dmitrievna Provotorova. I would like to express my deep gratitude to her for her professionalism, ability to listen and truly hear the patient, for her clear and precise explanations, tact, patience, and her ability to find the right approach to every person. I highly recommend this doctor! Special thanks to the nurses and all the medical staff of the cardiac surgery department and the entire clinic. What I liked: Professionalism, treatment, and attitude toward patients.

• Radiofrequency ablation

I express my deepest gratitude to cardiac surgeon Dr. D. V. Shmatov for saving my life! I sincerely thank him from the bottom of my heart. In my case, he was both the lead surgeon, assisting Dr. V. V. Balakhonov, and my attending physician. It all began with blood pressure problems. After a heart ultrasound, I heard the frightening words: “You need surgery.” I was very scared, but the doctors instilled such confidence and calmness that all doubts disappeared. The clinic itself assigned the attending physician, surgeon, and assisting surgeon. What I liked: The operation was successful — a new valve was implanted, and an aneurysm was removed. I would like to separately thank the entire department staff: the operating surgeon, anesthesiologist, and all members of the medical team. This is work of the highest class and perfect teamwork. Thank you for your tremendous effort, golden hands, and kind hearts!
