Dmitriy Shmatov

I express my deepest gratitude to cardiac surgeon Dr. D. V. Shmatov for saving my life! I sincerely thank him from the bottom of my heart. In my case, he was both the lead surgeon, assisting Dr. V. V. Balakhonov, and my attending physician. It all began with blood pressure problems. After a heart ultrasound, I heard the frightening words: “You need surgery.” I was very scared, but the doctors instilled such confidence and calmness that all doubts disappeared. The clinic itself assigned the attending physician, surgeon, and assisting surgeon. What I liked: The operation was successful — a new valve was implanted, and an aneurysm was removed. I would like to separately thank the entire department staff: the operating surgeon, anesthesiologist, and all members of the medical team. This is work of the highest class and perfect teamwork. Thank you for your tremendous effort, golden hands, and kind hearts!
