My husband was experiencing severe headaches and chest pain in another region. The treatment he received there did not bring any positive results. He heard about the doctors in Saint Petersburg and, by referral, went to the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka to see the surgeon Ruslan Yusufovich Kappushev. After his surgery and follow-up care under his attending physician, Larisa Yuryevna Kalashnikova, thank God, my husband began to feel calm and no longer suffered from those debilitating headaches. We are deeply grateful to the staff of this clinic for their professionalism and dedicated work! We wish health and prosperity to everyone working for the good of others and themselves!

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.

I consulted Dr. Mariya Vladimirovna Starosotskaya. She carefully reviewed the results of my preliminary tests, lab work, and explanations, and prescribed treatment appropriate for my age and health condition. As a result of the atrial fibrillation treatment at the Pirogov High Medical Technologies Clinic, my condition significantly improved: my average heart rate decreased from 85 to 60 bpm; now I can walk 0.5–0.8 km at a brisk pace without shortness of breath; I feel much better. Many thanks to Dr. Starosotskaya and to all the doctors, nurses, and orderlies who surrounded me and other patients with care, attention, and compassion. This clinic, its doctors, medical staff, facilities, and overall kindness toward patients are truly outstanding. In all my 78 years, I have never encountered such attentive care.

I made an appointment with Maksim Sergeevich Kamenskikh during his visit to the city of Bryansk, as recommended by my attending physician. The doctor advised me to get on the waiting list for surgery. In March 2025, I received a call for the operation. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the wonderful cardiac surgeon Maksim Sergeevich Kamenskikh for his tremendous work in helping people regain their health and happiness. Thank you for your professionalism, your kindness, sincere care, and compassion.

For 20 years, I had been suffering from heart rhythm disturbances and arrhythmia. About six years ago, my condition sharply worsened—I could no longer handle everyday physical activity. In September 2024, I began a medical evaluation. An echocardiogram revealed cardiomyopathy and showed that my heart was functioning at only 12%. I was told I needed a heart transplant. But everywhere I turned, I was denied. Through acquaintances, I learned about the Pirogov High Medical Technologies Clinic. I was consulted by Gleb Irlamovich Kim and admitted to their hospital. They examined me, performed a coronary angiography and echocardiogram, and discovered that the issue was actually a rhythm disorder. They shocked my heart, gave me medications—and I came back to life! I feel fantastic now! I haven’t felt this way in a long time. Gleb Irlamovich is an outstanding specialist! Thank you so much!
