Mr. Zhurin
Apr 30, 2025
After reviewing my medical history, Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov clearly recommended an urgent surgery. Having familiarized myself with his extensive experience, and thanks to his kindness and human qualities, I never had a moment of doubt about a successful outcome. The surgery took place on March 25, 2025. It was a complex operation: aortic valve and aorta replacement. Dmitry Viktorovich successfully performed the operation using a minimally invasive approach, which allowed for both a good cosmetic result and a faster recovery. At the moment, I feel great and am undergoing rehabilitation. I am deeply grateful to Dmitry Viktorovich for giving me a new life. It's unknown how fate would have turned out if I hadn’t met this God-given doctor on my life’s path — Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov. Sincerely, Denis Zhurin.
