I was admitted to the radiation therapy department after receiving a referral from the hospital for a stereotactic liver procedure. Before coming to your clinic, I had visited two other hospitals. At both, the doctors didn't even fully examine the CT disc and immediately agreed to perform the procedure. At the first, the doctor said they would hold a consultation, but only to complete the paperwork. The consultation refused, even though this same doctor was the only radiologist present. At the second, the head of the department, also without properly examining the CT scan, said he would remove the lesions in one session. Then I read the reviews... I was terrified. Then my attending physicians at the hospital (very good and caring) took matters into their own hands and discovered that there is a NAME in radiation therapy, and specifically in stereotactic liver surgery, in Moscow. It was Volkova from K+31. After dealing with empty spaces and medical scams, I had given up hope and was simply shocked. Darya Mikhailovna requested an MRI and carefully and thoroughly reviewed the CT and MRI scans. She planned the schedule. I attended the sessions for two weeks. There were no delays. The nursing staff is not only friendly and caring with patients, they are competent, and they offer helpful tips that they should know, but, unfortunately, in most clinics, they don't. The atmosphere in the department is amazing. Warmth, hope, professionalism, and a genuine interest in each patient. All of this is thanks to Darya Mikhailovna. Due to my illness, I visit many medical institutions, both free and private. I encounter arrogant, extremely unqualified, and simply not very smart doctors, and poorly trained, bordering on rude nursing staff. Unfortunately, it's all over the place. For the first time in many years, I've found a department whose director is not only a talented, highly qualified specialist, but also an excellent leader. Darya Mikhailovna is constantly at work. I've been managing intelligent people for many years, and I see that Volkova and the entire staff never waste a minute of their time. At the same time, you can always ask a question to Darya Mikhailovna, who is incredibly busy, and receive not a standard answer, but thoughtful, meaningful answers. I agree with the opinion of Moscow doctors and express the opinion of a patient. Volkova is a NAME. A doctor and a manager. And, unfortunately, a rare case among Moscow doctors. I would like to point out that today K+31 is perhaps one of the very few Moscow clinics where the quality of work of both doctors and nursing staff far exceeds that of other clinics.
I express my deepest, most sincere gratitude to the K+31 clinic and personally to its highly skilled surgeon, Oleg Ivanovich Yudin! I want to share my amazing experience of treatment at your clinic. I had a gallbladder removal, and the results exceeded all my expectations. Oleg Ivanovich, you are a magician! Your professionalism, calm confidence, and attentive attention to all my questions before the surgery completely dispelled any fears. Thank you for your golden hands and sensitive heart. I especially want to highlight your unique approach to anesthesia. I couldn't have imagined such a gentle anesthesia! I woke up easily, without any unpleasant consequences. And the most incredible thing is that just two hours after the surgery, I was fully conscious, feeling great, and already participating in an online meeting! For me, this is the main indicator of the precision work of the entire team. A huge thank you to all the medical staff in the surgical department: the attentive and kind nurses, anesthesiologists, and orderlies. You surrounded me with such care that my hospital stay felt more like a vacation. I can't help but mention the amazing conditions in the ward: modern equipment, cleanliness, comfort, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that in itself promotes recovery. And, of course, thank you to the department managers and administrators. You are always available, and all issues are resolved quickly, efficiently, and with unfailing kindness. K+31 Clinic is an impeccable standard of medicine, where the patient, their comfort, and their health come first. I recommend you to everyone I know and wish you prosperity with all my heart!
Good afternoon! I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Oleg Ivanovich Yudin, an excellent surgeon, highly qualified professional, and kind person. I would also like to thank Anton Ivanovich Grechin for his professionalism and attentiveness. Managers Yulia and Ekaterina effectively assist their colleagues and patients, and I thank them. Sincerely, S.I.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Oleg Ivanovich Yudin (the operating surgeon) and Dr. Tigran Grachyaevich Dzavayal, as well as the clinic staff, for the surgery and the high level of medical care provided. The organization of the work deserves special praise: the doctors checked on my condition several times daily, explained everything in detail, and created an atmosphere of confidence. The rooms are modern, comfortable, and clean, with all the necessary amenities. I thank you for your professionalism and attentive care of your patients.
