About a year ago, I began experiencing heart pain, arrhythmia, palpitations, and increasing fatigue even with minor physical exertion. After examinations at several clinics, it was determined that I had a bicuspid aortic valve and required replacement with a mechanical valve. Based on the recommendations of multiple physicians, I chose the N. I. Pirogov Clinic. After hospitalization, I learned that Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim would be performing the surgery. The operation was carried out on December 8. Before the surgery, Dr. Kim explained in detail why the operation was necessary, what would be done before and during the procedure, and how the postoperative period would proceed. After the operation, he explained the rehabilitation process and what was needed for a faster recovery. I recovered fairly quickly after the surgery. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Kim and all medical staff involved in the operation and postoperative care for their high level of responsibility, responsiveness, and professionalism. Thank you very much! What I liked: Responsiveness, attentiveness, and professionalism.

I learned about my congenital heart defect accidentally one year ago during a routine medical examination, despite feeling completely well at the time. After that, I consulted multiple clinics and medical centers, but ultimately chose the Pirogov Clinic. I had a consultation with cardiac surgeon Dr. G.I. Kim, who explained in detail how the surgery would be performed and why it was necessary, as the defect had already reached a severe stage. He also explained how recovery and rehabilitation would proceed. I am very glad that I had an appointment with such a specialist. The aortic valve replacement surgery was performed on November 26. Dr. Kim monitored my condition both before and after the operation. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the entire clinic team, and especially to Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the entire team of cardiac surgeons, and especially to Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim, for the heart surgery performed — aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting. I am very glad that I ended up in the hands of such outstanding specialists. Dr. Kim explained to me in detail how the surgery would be performed, what exactly he would do, what to expect after the operation, and how the recovery process would proceed. For many years I suffered from shortness of breath and angina, and even though not much time has passed since the surgery, I already notice significant improvement and feel much better. With respect, Ivanchenko V.M.

Thank you for your care and patience with patients! What I liked: Attentive and responsible medical staff, good food, and clean wards.
