Patient Reviews

On March 10, 2025, I was admitted to the Pirogov Clinic after experiencing an angina attack. I’m 52 years old. After a thorough examination, the doctors decided surgery was necessary. I’m grateful for the care and attention I received. Huge thanks to the surgeons for their help and professionalism. I’m currently waiting for the operation.

This year, I started experiencing severe chest pain—even while resting. I couldn’t do any physical activity. I first went to a hospital in Vologda, where they told me they couldn’t perform a stenting procedure and that I would need major open-heart surgery. I was referred to St. Petersburg, where Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim treated me. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable specialist—thank you so much! During testing, they discovered I had cardiomyopathy, and open-heart surgery would have been too risky. Dr. Kim coordinated everything and made sure I could get a coronary artery stent instead. I’m feeling great now! He’s not only an excellent doctor but a wonderful person. He also gave me detailed instructions and recommendations to follow at home.

On February 19, my father was urgently admitted to the cardio surgery department at Pirogov Clinic. Thanks to Dr. Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov, the hospitalization process was swift, and my father underwent emergency open-heart surgery that same day. Professor Shmatov, a Doctor of Medical Sciences, performed the operation flawlessly. He is a true professional—knowledgeable, attentive, and compassionate. Just one week post-surgery, my father was already climbing stairs and feeling significantly better, despite his life having hung by a thread. Dr. Shmatov gave him a second chance at life, and we are endlessly grateful. We wish this remarkable doctor continued health, happiness, and success. His expertise in modern cardiac diagnostics and treatment is unmatched, and above all, he is a wonderful human being!

My father was admitted to Pirogov Clinic’s cardio surgery department on February 19 and underwent a highly complex heart surgery that same day. The postoperative recovery was smooth, with no complications. Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. During daily rounds, he always took time to check on my father’s progress. We are deeply grateful for his dedication and wish him continued professional success and good health!

On February 19, my father was admitted to the cardiac surgery department and underwent a complex heart operation the same day. Dr. Maria Vladimirovna was his attending physician during recovery. She prescribed appropriate post-op medication, visited him daily, adjusted treatment based on her exams, and carefully listened to his concerns. She always kept us updated about his condition. Dr. Maria is highly attentive, knowledgeable, and skilled in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular conditions. She’s also very compassionate and responsible. My father is extremely grateful and satisfied with her care. I personally appreciated her professionalism, competence, and her truly human approach. She was able to identify problems early and deliver the right treatment at the right time.
