In the fall of 2024, I went to the K+31 clinic, where I was correctly diagnosed and received the competent treatment that I really needed. I would like to note the highest professionalism of all the doctors who worked with me, and I express my heartfelt gratitude to neurologist Sitnikova O. Yu., gastroenterologist Anikina N. Yu., endocrinologist Pivovarova S. V., cardiologist Kambegova A. A., neurosurgeon Fumin I. A., and the nurses from the procedure room. Thank you very much for your work! Deep bow! I am grateful to you for your understanding, warmth, kindness, and desire to help. I wish you success in your difficult, but very necessary, noble work. Health to you, people in white coats!

For a long time I could not solve the problem with numbness in my hands, I turned to different doctors. It was only in the K31 clinic that Dr. Ilya Aleksandrovich Fumin finally relieved me of this problem. Conducted additional research, confirmed the diagnosis and performed an operation. Everything went neatly, efficiently and painlessly. The doctor is very attentive and professional in his field. Thank you very much for your help.

Good day. Dmitry Alekseevich, thank you for the successful difficult operation for my mother. Thank you for your understanding, thank you for not making us wait long and immediately after the operation told us everything in detail. Thank you for keeping us up to date on my mother's condition. Thank you for your care and attention. It is scary to imagine what would have happened if my mother had not fallen into yours, Dmitry Alekseevich and Ilya Alexandrovich, (Dreval D. A .; Fumin I. A.) golden hands. We will never forget what you did for her. You are the best of the best !!! Thanks to all the staff of the K-31 clinic. Special thanks to the administration of the clinic for the equipment, technology and highly qualified staff.

Good day. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Ilya Alexandrovich. A highly qualified specialist, attentive, sensitive, and this is important for the patient. This is the first doctor who explains everything in a very accessible way, so you don't have to ask again and surf the Internet. A doctor who visits his patients even on weekends. A doctor who did not forget about you as soon as the door closed behind you. At the very first appointment, my mother was imbued with Ilya Alexandrovich and said that if you have surgery, then only with this doctor. Therefore, when my mother had an exacerbation, we did not hesitate to choose a clinic and a doctor. Ilya Alexandrovich, our whole family is infinitely grateful to you for everything that you have done for your mother. And a special thank you for your patience with relatives. And I also want to express my gratitude to all the staff of the clinic. The care and attentiveness with which you all surround patients is beyond praise. K-31 is a team of the best. THANK YOU!!!
