On June 30, 2026, I underwent bypass surgery. The operation was successful, and today I am being discharged and feel excellent. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov was my cardiac surgeon. He is a doctor with a capital “D” and a wonderful person. After the surgery, he explained everything in detail, answered all my questions, and changed my dressings. Thanks to doctors like Alexey Alexandrovich, recovery is quick and painless.

I ended up undergoing heart surgery unexpectedly. I came to the clinic for cancer surgery, but during the examination it was discovered that my heart problems had to be addressed first. Many thanks to the entire cardiac surgery department, and especially to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov. I underwent valve replacement and bypass surgery within a very short time. Alexey Alexandrovich was by my side at every stage. He explained everything very clearly, and I felt no fear before the operation at all. The surgery was complex, but everything went wonderfully. I spent three days in intensive care and then continued recovering in the department. Now I am being discharged and feel excellent. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Alexey Alexandrovich. He is a wonderful specialist. I wish him all the best!

I consulted Andrey Alexandrovich regarding the creation of a fistula for hemodialysis. Once again, I was convinced of the doctor’s professionalism. He is always polite and approaches the problem with great care. He does everything possible to make the procedure as painless as possible for the patient. I am very glad that I found such a doctor. I will now remain under his supervision, which gives me peace of mind about my health and my life. I would like to express my deep gratitude to him and his team.

I express my gratitude to my attending physician Vasily Vasilyevich for high-quality management of the postoperative period. The doctor informed me in detail about the course of treatment, which reduced my anxiety. Thanks to his work, I was discharged without complications, and now I am successfully recovering at home. I recommend Vasily Vasilyevich as a responsible and competent specialist.

I had an appointment with Andrey Alexandrovich Sorokin at the medical center on Stachek Avenue. I chose the doctor and the clinic based on online reviews. I came regarding carotid artery stenosis and ultrasound results. The doctor listened to me very attentively, explained the problem and risks in detail, and proposed surgery after first ordering an additional examination. On June 22, 2026, I was admitted to the inpatient department of the clinic at Fontanka 154. The next day, I underwent surgery — eversion carotid endarterectomy. The operation was successful. The next day, I was already getting up and walking through the corridors, and the day after that I was discharged. I would like to note Andrey Alexandrovich’s high professionalism. I feel very well; the incision does not hurt, and even my shortness of breath seems to have decreased. I noticed that I started walking faster. My stay at the clinic was very comfortable: clean, spacious wards, comfortable beds, excellent bed linen, and very tasty food, including fruit, dairy products, and fresh vegetable salads. The clinic staff were very friendly and responsive. I have been in different hospitals in St. Petersburg, and the Pirogov Clinic is the best. I recommend everyone with vascular problems to contact Dr. A.A. Sorokin.
