I had surgery to remove a mitral valve myxoma. The operation was performed by Dr. Maksim Sergeevich Kamenskikh and Dr. Ilshat Shamilievich Asadullin. The procedure was a success. I want to sincerely thank Dr. Asadullin for his attentive and caring attitude. He regularly checked in on me after the operation, monitored the healing of the incision, and was present during bandage changes. His humane and respectful approach to patients stood out. Thank you so much!

I came to the clinic to have a mitral valve myxoma removed, and Dr. Yulia Provotorova was my attending physician. I’m very grateful to her for her compassionate care and high level of professionalism. During my stay, I underwent numerous tests and analyses, all conducted thoroughly and on time. She treats her patients as if they were family. A very responsive doctor — she always reacts quickly to any concern. I appreciated her respectful approach, excellent communication skills, and deep medical knowledge.

In May 2025, Dr. Viktor Alexandrovich Pyagai was assigned as the attending physician for my father, Nikolai Kuzmich Iutinsky, prior to his aortic valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair surgery. Before the procedure, Dr. Pyagai thoroughly explained the condition of my father's heart and walked us through the upcoming surgical plan. After the long and complex surgery, he continued overseeing my father’s recovery — providing consultations, follow-up exams, and carefully adjusting medication dosages tailored to his needs. Dr. Viktor Pyagai is a kind, respectful, attentive, and highly skilled cardiac surgeon. He has a very positive attitude and knows how to inspire confidence in his patients. We are deeply thankful for your invaluable work! Our heartfelt thanks also go to the entire cardiac surgery department — an outstanding team of specialists with big hearts!

After a series of consultations and check-ups, on May 6, 2025, my father, Nikolai Kuzmich Iutinsky, underwent a very complex and lengthy surgery: aortic valve replacement and tricuspid valve plasty. The surgery was performed by the skilled hands of cardiac surgeon Maksim Sergeevich and his team. Maksim Sergeevich quite literally extended my father's life! We are endlessly grateful to you for giving our father a new life — thank you for your work, professionalism, and compassionate, personalized approach. And thank you for your gifted hands that truly perform miracles! My father’s recovery went remarkably well, despite the complexity of the operation — all thanks to the incredible medical staff of the Pirogov Clinic’s Cardiac Surgery Department. Thank you all for your care, responsiveness, and kind attitude toward every patient. Wishing you patience, strength, and good health for you and your families. With heartfelt gratitude and respect.

I was admitted to the clinic on April 8, 2025. That same day, I had a consultation with my attending physician, Dr. Ilshat Shamilievich. He explained everything clearly regarding my condition and the upcoming treatment. After the surgery, he didn’t just visit me multiple times a day — he even checked on me at night and prescribed pain medication when needed. I truly felt under constant care. Even after I was discharged, despite his busy schedule, Dr. Asadullin stayed in touch and continued adjusting my medication. I’m very grateful for his professionalism and human kindness. I highly recommend him — both as a skilled surgeon and a compassionate person.
