Vitaly Piluiko MD

Dr. PILUIKO and his staff were excellent in their care for me after he did a CABG surgery. I felt a high level of confidence in him and would highly recommend them.

On Monday, September 16, 2024, I had triple bypass surgery performed by Dr. Piluiko. I had just turned eighty-six and was hoping the operation would buy me a few more years of not having to worry about my "widow-maker" condition - a sudden heart attack while driving was not auguring well. The week spent at the amazing cardiac surgery unit established by Dr. Piluiko at Memorial Medical hospital was like being at a resort. I was treated like a prince by the professionals working in the unit and understand why it is considered one of the top cardiac care facilities in the state. Again, from the top to the bottom of my heart, thanks Dr. Piluiko. Don Quine

Dr. Vitaly Piluiko's surgical expertise and bedside manner left no question in my mind as to whether to have a double bypass and who would perform it. From the first visit, he was patient and gave detailed explanations, both verbal and hand drawn. To the due diligence testing prior to surgery with more information. The day of surgery, taking the time to tell me step by step how all would proceed. He personally followed up at the hospital and after with more information for cardiac strength. The care he and his team showed over and over put me at ease through this major surgery. If your heart needs to be operated on and you want expertise and meticulousness, Dr. Piluiko is the one. Whether you are from Las Cruces or you will need to travel here, your heart couldn't be in better hands.

I haven't been much of a doctor person during my life, but when my heart needed to be repaired recently Dr. Piluiko was recommended to do the surgery and I couldn't have been in better hands. All that needed to be repaired was explained in detail to me and I became very confident in his ability to do surgery on me. The surgery was a success and after seven weeks I am back to work and feeling better than before. If one is looking for a surgeon for their heart I highly recommend Dr. Piluiko without question.

I recently had a Convergent cardiac procedure performed by Dr. Piluiko. I am not only grateful for his skills as surgeon, I was completely floored by his level of empathy and warmth. From first contact with Dr. Piluiko's office to now seven days out from surgery, the experience has been overwhelmingly positive. All members of Dr. Piluiko's staff reflect his obviously high standards for patient care. His entire office staff was attentive, pleasant and efficient. Messages were passed along and calls were returned in a timely manner. I never sat in the office waiting hours to see the doctor. He runs a well-oiled machine. I never felt like a number, Dr. Piluiko answered all my questions about how my condition could best be treated. Once the Convergent procedure was decided on, he then did a fantastic job of clarifying the procedure through detailed explanation and drawings. I felt like I was well informed and had a voice in my care. The surgery itself went very smoothly. The Convergent procedure was much less invasive than anticipated. I was up and about within hours of surgery. Dr. Piluiko, you and your team did an exemplary job. Because of the care I received, the length and more importantly, the quality of my life has been improved. I am recommending your practice to everyone I know! Thank you!
