I was scheduled for open-heart surgery. It was really frightening to accept and realize this fact. But when Dmitry Viktorovich entered the ward — a friendly, kind, responsive doctor — it immediately became easier. I realized that I was in reliable, golden hands. I liked everything. After speaking with him, Dmitry Viktorovich gave me hope for an excellent outcome of the surgery. He is truly a God-given doctor. I can honestly say I am glad I entrusted myself to him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dmitry Shmatov and his team for their hard work. I underwent a planned CABG surgery at the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka. I don’t have anything to compare it to, but thanks to the excellent operation, I spent just 8 days in the clinic, including the surgery day. I think this speaks volumes — first and foremost about doctor Shmatov's high level of professionalism. He is also a responsive and attentive doctor, always willing to answer all questions without rushing. Once again, thank you very much! I’m confident that moving forward, I will be able to live comfortably and without pain. I especially appreciated his attentiveness, empathy, and ease of communication.

After reviewing my medical history, Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov clearly recommended an urgent surgery. Having familiarized myself with his extensive experience, and thanks to his kindness and human qualities, I never had a moment of doubt about a successful outcome. The surgery took place on March 25, 2025. It was a complex operation: aortic valve and aorta replacement. Dmitry Viktorovich successfully performed the operation using a minimally invasive approach, which allowed for both a good cosmetic result and a faster recovery. At the moment, I feel great and am undergoing rehabilitation. I am deeply grateful to Dmitry Viktorovich for giving me a new life. It's unknown how fate would have turned out if I hadn’t met this God-given doctor on my life’s path — Dmitry Viktorovich Shmatov. Sincerely, Denis Zhurin.

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.
