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.

From March 20 to March 24, I was hospitalized at the Pirogov Clinic in the cardiac surgery department (for heart rhythm restoration). My attending physician was Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov. I would like to sincerely thank him for his highest professionalism and kind attitude. I wish him continued professional success and the fulfillment of everything he has planned. Many thanks.

Two years ago I underwent heart surgery at the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka. The operation was complex, and since then I have been under the care of Vera Valeryevna for follow-up. Thank you to those who recommended her. She is a wonderful, compassionate, and attentive doctor. Appointments always begin on time. She is a doctor and a person with a capital “D.” Thank you very much for her work. I recommend her to all my acquaintances. What I liked: The way she conducts appointments and prescribes further treatment. I liked everything.

After suffering two severe cases of COVID-19, my husband developed serious heart complications. On the advice of his cardiologist, he scheduled an appointment with a cardiologist from this clinic who came to our city of Vologda in October 2025. Thanks to this consultation, in December he was invited under the compulsory medical insurance program for coronary angiography, after which he was offered valve replacement surgery. Maxim Sergeyevich Kamenskikh performed the operation on March 13, 2026, and everything went well. Now my husband is at home and feeling fairly well. We hope his quality of life will improve after the surgery. Thank you, doctor!

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.
