My cardiologist referred me to the regional hospital in Smolensk, where I underwent coronary angiography. It showed that I had serious heart problems and needed treatment at the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka (St. Petersburg State University). My angina had become very severe, and fortunately, I was called to the clinic just three days later. The administrators personally called me several times and followed my preparation for surgery. On July 31, 2026, I underwent surgery. The evening before, Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov prepared me for the operation, explained everything in detail, and reassured me. The surgery went very well. I woke up in intensive care, and two days later I was transferred to the ward. Recovery was not without difficulties, but Alexey Alexandrovich came to see me every day. He is truly an extraordinary person! He knows when to be strict, when to praise, and when to encourage. Thank you for giving me a new chance at life! What I liked: The attentiveness, attitude, and care of all the department staff.

Review of the doctorVasily BalakhonovCardiac SurgeonI suffered from atrial fibrillation for many years and was on the waiting list for RFA. When I was admitted to the clinic, Anton Andreevich became my attending physician. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the wonderful arrhythmologist and cardiac surgeon Anton Andreevich Sheremet. On April 1, 2026, he performed my RFA procedure. The procedure lasted 1.5 hours. Throughout that entire time, I felt that I was in the hands of a true professional — experienced and confident. At discharge, I received all the necessary consultations and answers to my questions. More than four months have now passed since the operation. The problems have not disappeared completely, but I feel noticeably better. Once again, many thanks to Anton Andreevich. I will recommend him as an excellent doctor. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to his assistant, Umar Salambekovich, for his very attentive and kind attitude.

Review of the doctorAnton SheremetArrhythmologist, Cardiac SurgeonI would like to say a big thank you to Vera Valeryevna for her sensitive, competent, and genuinely caring attitude toward my problem. I suffered from arrhythmia for a long time and waited almost a year and a half for a government-funded quota for RFA surgery. Throughout that entire time, Vera Valeryevna continued to supervise my care, including consultations by phone. Many thanks to her. I definitely recommend consulting this specialist.
