I consulted cardiologist Vera Valeryevna Povarenkina regarding my heart condition. I am very grateful to her for her attentive attitude and for ordering a series of examinations that helped determine the diagnosis of my illness. May success accompany you.

I was hospitalized for aortic valve replacement surgery. The doctor was appointed as my attending physician. He prepared me for the operation, ordered additional examinations, including a pulmonary function test. After the surgery, he helped me return to an active life. During the postoperative period, I underwent chest X-rays and CT scans. All my questions about treatment were answered clearly and thoroughly. My overall impression of the treatment is very positive. I will certainly recommend Vasily Vasilyevich if my relatives or acquaintances ever need a cardiologist. What I liked: Kind and attentive attitude toward the patient and their requests.

I was hospitalized at the clinic from February 10 to February 20. On February 13, I underwent a complex heart surgery. My attending physician was Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov. I would like to express my gratitude to my doctor for his warm, humane attitude, his ability to listen and understand, his professionalism, attentiveness, and care for his patients. I sincerely thank him for his invaluable contribution to restoring my health and for providing guidance for further recovery, including lifestyle recommendations. Vasily Vasilyevich communicates very well with patients. He is serious when needed, but can also make a well-timed joke to lift the mood and help one take their mind off the illness. He helped me greatly. Many thanks, my deepest respect, and I wish him the strongest health!

We would like to thank Dr. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov for his warm and compassionate attitude, professionalism, attentiveness, and sensitivity. Thank you for restoring my health — and my life. In February 2026, I underwent a valve-sparing aortic surgery. The operation was successful. I feel excellent.

On February 9 at the Pirogov Clinic, Anton Viktorovich performed a coronary angiography for me. I admit, I was afraid. But the doctor’s calm and confident voice, as well as his warnings about possible unpleasant sensations, helped me greatly. I am so glad that I ended up in the hands of such a professional.
