An aneurysm of the ascending aorta was diagnosed, and surgery was performed. Vasily Vasilyevich examined and monitored me after the operation and was my attending physician. He examined me attentively every day and asked about my well-being. I recommend this doctor. Vasily Vasilyevich proved to be a very responsive and attentive physician. He explained all the details thoroughly and supported me throughout my stay in the hospital. I always felt his attention and never felt abandoned. He also discharged me, and everything went perfectly. Now I am already at home and recovering confidently. Many thanks to him for his work and dedication to his profession.

In 2019, I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. In May 2025, the disease progressed to persistent atrial fibrillation. I was referred to the clinic by an arrhythmologist, where Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov was appointed as my attending physician. Vasily Vasilyevich is a very attentive and compassionate doctor. He explained in detail the nature of the disease and the further treatment plan. After the treatment he prescribed and the surgery that followed, my condition improved significantly. I express my deep gratitude to him and wish him strong health and continued success in his work.

I was a patient of Vasily Vasilyevich and underwent surgery at the Pirogov Clinic in St. Petersburg. His professional attitude and expertise inspire confidence and calmness, which contributes to faster recovery. I liked everything—from our first meeting to the final farewell. He was always accessible and provided a professional, individualized approach to every concern. The doctor examined me and asked about my condition and the effects of the medications every day.
