Women’s Pelvic Surgery: Khashayar Shakiba, MD, URPS

I have been a patient of Dr. Shakiba for a few years now. While it may seem dramatic to say, he saved my life. He has given me my Health back and a life free from chronic pain. What makes him exceptional is that despite his incredible level of knowledge and surgical skill, he is not arrogant. He treats his patients with compassion - he genuinely listens with empathy and respect, taking the time to get to know the whole person, not just the symptoms. His understanding of the body is unlike anything I have experienced with any other physician. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the quality of life he has given back to me. If you are searching for a surgeon who is not only Brilliant, but deeply human, I cannot recommend him enough. -Sabrina Mule

After a long and difficult journey trying to find the right surgeon and the right team, I can say without hesitation that Dr. Gabriella Pinho and Dr. Khashayar Shakiba exceeded every expectation. From the very first visit, I felt heard, respected, and truly cared for. My case was complex, and for a long time I struggled to find providers who took both the medical and human side of my situation seriously. Dr. Pinho’s surgical skill, calm confidence, and compassion were evident at every step. Dr. Shakiba’s oversight, kindness, and attentiveness made me feel safe and supported throughout the entire process.What stood out most was that they didn’t just treat a condition — they treated me. They took the time to explain things clearly, addressed concerns I didn’t even realize were treatable (including bladder and incontinence-related issues), and gave me hope that my quality of life could truly improve. I honestly did not know some of these issues could be fixed until working with this team. I also want to recognize Joannie, the coordinator, whose responsiveness, organization, and reassurance made navigating appointments and paperwork so much easier during a stressful time. And Katherine, whose empathy, patience, and prompt communication made a huge difference when I needed supportshe treated me like a person, not a chart. In a healthcare system where it can be incredibly hard to find providers who combine technical excellence with genuine compassion, this team stands out. I am deeply grateful for the care I received and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Pinho, Dr. Shakiba, and their entire team to anyone seeking expert surgical care with empathy, respect, and professionalism. They truly changed my life.

Almost 14 years and counting of being a patient of Dr. Shakiba. My husband and I have always called him our “Angel Doctor”. After failed IVF attempts with other doctors, we were crushed. I found Dr. Shakiba on Google. A few months after surgery with him, we got pregnant on our own. He’s able to diagnose what most physicians can’t and his surgical hand is as steady as they come. I’ve recommended him to every woman that I know that has struggled with fertility issues. After all of these years later - I still recommend him. Forever grateful CKB

I’m very grateful for the care I received and would absolutely recommend Dr. Shakiba to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate specialist.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Shakiba, who recently performed surgery on me to address significant uterine prolapse. My experience with him has been nothing short of exceptional. From our very first consultation, Dr. Shakiba took the time to listen carefully to my concerns. He made me feel heard and understood, which was incredibly comforting during such a stressful time. His compassionate care shone through as he addressed my fears about the surgery and its outcome. I was particularly anxious due to my previous diagnosis of Pyoderma Gangrenosum, which took a full year to heal. Dr, Shakiba acknowledged my concerns with empathy and kindness. One of the most remarkable aspects of Dr. Shakiba’s care was his commitment to inclusivity. He took my concerns about my previous condition seriously and consulted with the dermatologist/oncologist who had successfully treated me. By including her in my post-surgical care and evaluation plan, he ensured that I receive comprehensive care tailored to my needs. His extensive knowledge in the field was evident. He explained the procedure thoroughly and answered all my questions, which helped alleviate my fears. Dr. Shakiba has treated me with the utmost respect throughout the entire process. He values my opinions and makes me feel like an active participant in my own care. His surgical skills are impressive. I felt confident in his abilities, knowing that I was in the hands of a highly skilled surgeon. The outcome of my surgery has exceeded my expectations. His office staff are professional, caring and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate and cater to your needs. One example is the Surgical Coordinator, Ms. Joannie Rivera. She is very knowledgeable, courteous and diligent in answering any questions or concerns one may have. I cannot recommend Dr. Shakiba highly enough. His blend of empathy, compassion, skill, respect, knowledge, and inclusivity made a significant difference in my surgical experience. Thank you, Dr. Shakiba, for your outstanding care and for making a challenging situation much more bearable. You are truly a remarkable surgeon!
