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!
