In 2025, I came to the clinic with cardiac problems. On September 18, I underwent mitral valve replacement surgery. Thank you to the doctors for the successful operation and professional postoperative monitoring. Three months later, I consulted Vera Valeryevna Povarenkina. Vera Valeryevna carefully reviewed the results of examinations that had previously been performed at other medical institutions and at the clinic, and professionally prescribed postoperative therapy. I have been under her care and treatment ever since. Vera Valeryevna is a very good specialist — attentive and competent. She has a friendly attitude and explains everything in detail and in simple terms. The treatment is effective, and my condition has improved.

I would like to say a big thank you to Vera Valeryevna for her sensitive, competent, and genuinely caring attitude toward my problem. I suffered from arrhythmia for a long time and waited almost a year and a half for a government-funded quota for RFA surgery. Throughout that entire time, Vera Valeryevna continued to supervise my care, including consultations by phone. Many thanks to her. I definitely recommend consulting this specialist.

I suffered two heart attacks in 2014 and had stents placed, which helped a lot. But in 2026, my condition became much worse: sweating, shortness of breath, and fatigue. More stents were placed, but they did not help. I was referred to the Pirogov Center for surgery. On July 24, I arrived at the clinic. It turned out that my heart was in such a condition that the operation could not be postponed, and on July 28 I underwent surgery on an urgent, life-saving basis. They practically brought me back to life. I am deeply grateful personally to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov, as well as to the entire staff of this department. Alexey Alexandrovich took part in my operation, then explained everything to me afterward, visited me often, and examined me. Now I am being discharged and feel excellent. I would like to wish him happiness, health, professional growth, family well-being, and all the very best. Thank you for my life!

Last August, I underwent stent placement, but after some time my condition began to deteriorate. On June 15, 2026, I contacted the coordinator and sent in my medical records, and I was immediately called in. On July 21, I was admitted to the cardiac surgery department. I first underwent additional examinations, and on July 28 I had surgery. I was never left without attention, either before or after the operation. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov was my cardiac surgeon and also helped me afterward. Recovery was quick. I now feel well, although the incisions are still slightly painful. Alexey Alexandrovich constantly talked to me about how to behave and how to recover, cared for me, and changed my dressings. He is a talented doctor and a wonderful person. Many thanks to him personally and to the entire team!

The doctor listened carefully to all my complaints, reviewed my test results, explained complicated matters in simple language, and prescribed effective treatment. Thank you for your work!
