My pulse disappeared. I was admitted to a cardiology department and from there referred to the Pirogov Clinic. A coronary angiography was performed, which showed severe damage to the coronary arteries. That is how I came under the care of Gleb Irlamovich, a wonderful surgeon who operated on me. The surgery was performed completely and successfully. I feel excellent now. Thank you very much for saving my life! I wish you health and well-being, both professionally and in your family. Special thanks as well to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov, his assistant, and to my attending physician Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov.

I was greatly troubled by shortness of breath and heart pain. I went to a clinic, from where I was sent for coronary angiography. The doctors reviewed the results and said that heart surgery (coronary artery bypass surgery) was necessary. I was sent to St. Petersburg. Here, at the Clinic of High Medical Technologies, I received a warm welcome. Everything was explained and shown to me. My surgeon was Gleb Irlamovich Kim, a wonderful doctor who is very polite and pleasant. He explained everything before the operation. I liked everything very much. After the surgery, I feel excellent. I recommend Gleb Irlamovich as a highly qualified specialist. After the operation, he regularly monitored me and changed my dressings—in general, he helped me get back on my feet very quickly. What I liked: The food, the attitude toward patients, and the care.

In 2024, my husband was examined for shortness of breath at a clinic in Vologda. Based on the results, he was assigned disability group II. In 2025 he had an appointment with a doctor who recommended that he undergo coronary angiography in St. Petersburg under the compulsory medical insurance program. This procedure was performed by the excellent doctor Gleb Irlamovich Kim, who later became my husband’s attending physician during valve replacement surgery. My husband notes his attentiveness, responsibility, kindness, and competence. Thank you very much, doctor! We hope that everything will gradually improve and that my husband’s health will get better.

A complex operation was required due to very poor blood vessels. We consulted several clinics, and only here, at the Pirogov Clinic, were we given hope and taken on for CABG surgery. The operation was successful — another life saved. The attending physician, Gleb Irlamovich, is a specialist from God — people like him are born, not made. He explained all the nuances before the operation and told me how to behave afterward. I am very glad that I ended up under his care. May such specialists be granted the strongest health and only successful operations! Thank you very much!

Last spring, I felt pain behind my sternum for the first time. I had never experienced this before. I consulted a doctor, underwent coronary vessel examination, and was told that surgery was necessary. On January 26, I underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Gleb Irlamovich. He performed the operation together with cardiac surgeon Alexey Alexandrovich. Thank you for your work and the excellent surgery performed! I would also like to thank the entire medical staff of the Pirogov Clinic. Thank you very much!
