I was urgently hospitalized for aortic valve replacement and was assigned Dr. V.V. Balakhonov as my attending physician. He is a true professional who provided qualified medical care. During consultations, he was very tactful. After the operation, he visited me daily, giving advice on how to recover faster. Upon discharge, he clearly and thoroughly explained my further treatment plan and medication regimen.
