I was referred for cardiography, and after reviewing the results, Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov hospitalized me for CABG surgery. The clinic is excellent, and I was impressed by the high professionalism of the specialists and their compassionate attitude toward patients. I express my deep gratitude to the entire cardiac surgery department staff. Special thanks to my attending physician Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov for his professionalism and kind attitude toward patients.
