Patient Reviews

At a consultation in Vologda, after reviewing my ultrasound, Holter monitor, and ECG, Maksim Sergeevich recommended preparing for aortic valve replacement. It’s a complex operation and needed to be done. So I came to the cardiac center ready for surgery. On the eve of the operation, during rounds, Maksim Sergeevich asked whether I was ready and whether I was afraid. I was confident about the outcome because I trusted the doctor’s skill and expertise. My huge thanks to Maksim Sergeevich—thanks to him I am living, working, and enjoying life again. I also recommend Dr. Maksim Sergeevich to others: go to him for surgery with peace of mind. Wishing you good luck, success in your work, and strong health, Maksim Sergeevich.

• Minimally invasive valve replacement

After undergoing coronary angiography at her place of residence, my mother was referred to the Pirogov Clinic in St. Petersburg at 154 Fontanka River Embankment. On July 18, 2025, Ruslan Yusupovich Kappushev performed an off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. The doctor is attentive to his patients. An excellent professional in his field. A doctor you can easily trust. I would also like to note the work of all the medical staff in the department: doctors and nurses. They are all great. You can feel that everyone truly wants to help. Thank you very much!

• Coronary artery bypass grafting

I would like to sincerely thank the cardiac surgeon of the N.I. Pirogov Clinic (St. Petersburg), Andrey Alexandrovich Sorokin, for his skill and professionalism during my surgery — balloon angioplasty of the draining vein of a hemodialysis fistula. When I came to the clinic with the problem of vascular access stenosis, I was frightened by the upcoming procedure, but Dr. Sorokin was able to dispel all my doubts. He explained in detail the process of the operation, its goals, and possible outcomes, which helped me feel confident and calm. The surgery was successful! I was impressed by how professionally and carefully Andrey Alexandrovich performed the procedure. My arteriovenous fistula is functioning again, which is of great importance for my treatment. Thank you, Andrey Alexandrovich, for your work, care, and support! I recommend you to everyone who needs quality cardiac surgical care.

I consulted the doctor regarding coronary artery stenosis and had angina attacks. Lyubov Albinovna prescribed the necessary examinations and treatment. She is a competent doctor, attentive to her patient. Only positive emotions remained after the visit. The treatment was competent and yielded positive results. If I need a cardiologist’s help again, I will go only to Lyubov Albinovna. I liked her attentiveness to the patient’s problems, her ability to achieve positive results, and her pleasant manner of communication.

Alexey Sergeyevich performed my surgery, everything went quickly and well. I sincerely thank cardiac surgeon Alexey Sergeyevich for his work! You are a wonderful doctor, a true professional, and simply a wonderful person. I wish you good health, well-being, and success in your noble work. May you have as many grateful patients as possible! The day after the surgery, I was already discharged home. A very modern clinic, good equipment, friendly staff, and excellent meals.
