Doctor Dmitry Shmatov treated our father, Vasily Kolesnikov (b. 1947), in August–September 2024. He underwent a complex and lengthy open-heart surgery. Dr. Shmatov is an outstanding professional—attentive, responsible, and highly ethical. A man of his word and a surgeon with golden hands. Without him and his skilled team, things could have turned out very differently. We are confident that this is a doctor you can and should entrust your life and the lives of your loved ones to. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Shmatov and his team for saving our father and grandfather. His rofessionalism and dedication made a huge difference.
