Dr.Shakiba is a beautiful soul. He is very nice, knowledgeable and compassionate. He makes time for you and listens to your concerns attentively with realistic responses. Will have a procedure in 2 weeks. I firmly believe that I am in good hands. Highly recommend!!In addition, Dr. Shakiba has a great team. Every staff there is very helpful and responsive.Update:Thanks to Dr. Shakiba’s superb surgical skills, I had minimal pain and so far recovered well after a robotic-assisted surgery. The nurses in the Hackensack University Medical Center provided first-class service, the best of the best, making you feel comfortable.I am very lucky to have Dr. Shakiba as my doctor. He is simply the best of the best. I sincerely suggest every woman if they have any gynecological issues should run to Dr. Shakiba with no doubt. What is more, he is also specialized in urogynecology.Additionally, he is compassionate and really cares for his patients. Though Dr. Shakiba is very busy, he will still, try to make time for you to address your concerns and give you honest and realistic feedback and treatment plan.I think I have found my new gynecologist. :) Choose wisely.
Dr. Shakiba is the only dr that has ever taken me and my pain seriously. His patience and kindness has given me so much hope, and a light at the end of a very long tunnel. I finally feel safe seen and heard from a Dr that wants to help me. I would recommend him a thousand times over. The nurses were also so validating and warm.
After going to multiple doctors with no answer, Dr. Shakiba evaluated me and instantly recommended a treatment plan. He performed my endometriosis surgery and is truly a compassionate, extremely skilled surgeon with a great staff. Would 100% recommend him, he is simply the best.
My first visit to Women’s Pelvic Surgery of North Jersey, was very rewarding. Kaylyn, and the other staff were kind and professional. DrShakiba was very patient and caring and answered all of my questions so that I completely understood everything that needed to be done. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.
Awesome surgeons, awesome team. Welcoming staff and a dedicated surgical coordinatorJoannie that goes the extra mile for you. Dr Shakiba is one of the most skillful and compassionate surgeons youll ever meet. His calmness and bedside manners is second to none. Exceptional. He performed my surgery via robotics and my recovery was superb. I definitely recommend him for your surgery. 10/10
Dr. Shakiba is a fantastic doctor. He is patient, compassionate and very educated. I feel very comfortable with him and I trust him 100 percent.
Dr. Shakiba is professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable! He got to the root of my issue right away and prescribed a clear and concise plan of action. I would recommend him to anyone!
Dr. Shakiba and Dr. Kolesnikova are exceptional surgeons specializing in pelvic surgery and endometriosis. They are both incredibly understanding, patient, and kind. I was also gifted two sessions of Vitalia and Emsella, which I truly appreciated!Not only did they treat my endometriosis, but they also diagnosed a non-gynecological condition that I had been suffering from for years, with no answers from other doctors until now. Their expertise and compassion have been life-changing, and I’m so thankful to know this practice exists.I also want to extend a special thank you to Agnes, their manager, for addressing some concerns I had, and to the rest of the staff, including Dr. Shakiba’s medical assistant, for her stellar bedside manner. I will definitely be back!
Highly recommend Dr Shakiba. I found out in 2022 that I had a large dermoid cyst on my ovary, and my obgyn at the time said I would most likely lose my ovary, or at minimum badly damage it, in the process of him removing it. I sought out a second opinion & found Dr Shakiba. He had excellent bedside manner & answered all my questions without seeming annoyed or rushed. He performed laparoscopic surgery to remove the cyst a few weeks after our first appt. Ovary fully intact, I felt better 2 days later.
It was a pleasure visiting Dr. Shakiba,s office. The staff were pleasant and professional. The office was very clean and inviting. After examination doctor Shakiba diagnosed me with a rare condition. I visited many doctors before him, but no one was able to identify my issue. I would definitely recommend this doctor!
I highly recommend Dr. Shakiba and Dr. Kolesnikova. The care I received from my consult to post-op visits has been excellent. They’re both extremely knowledgeable on the latest treatments and surgical options. I haven’t felt this pain free in over 8 months and it’s all thanks to them and their wonderful staff.
I highly recommend Dr. Shakiba and Dr. Kolesnikova. Very professional doctors with high experience . The office is very clean and has wonderful staff. I am at 3 week recovering from partial hysterectomy, I am so glad that I was able to find Dr. Shakiba thanks to everyone’s feedback here. I had two other opinions before Dr. Shakiba. My first visit with Dr. Shakiba was very pleasant and comforting. I made my decision the same day after taking to him. He specializes on Robotic Surgery ( this is the kind of surgery a woman should have when talking of Hysterectomy)Thank you everyone at Women’s Pelvic Surgery. Xoxoxo
Update!!! I already had my surgery and it was a breeze. Dr. Shakiba was efficient and took care of all of my issues. He talked me through the whole thing prior and just had my post op appointment and it went great. Again I highly recommend!! The office is beautiful and welcoming. I came because I have fibroids and my gyno recommended a hysterectomy. I highly recommend him. He’s very knowledgeable.
Dr Shakiba and staff are kind, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Dr Shakiba presents all treatment options and includes the patient in the plan of care. I trust his judgement and appreciate the time he spends during an office visit.
Amazing office filled with great people who truly want to help you. Dr. Shakiba was the first doctor to take my pain symptoms and needs seriously. I had suffered from horrible periods/ endometriosis the last 8 years as it progressively got worse and worse. Dr Shakiba validated my pain and concerns, as many other doctors had just told me this was “normal” when it is not!! 10/10 Recommended
My endometrial biopsy went smoothly! Dr. Shakiba and the empathetic nurse ensured I was comfortable throughout the procedure—they were exceptional! Dr. Shakibas ability to perform the biopsy when others might not be able to and choose to do the biopsy during surgery instead is a testament to his skill!I am fortunate to have Dr. Shakiba as my surgeon, and I feel extremely confident about my upcoming surgery. I will update my review to share the outcome!
I highly recommend Dr. Shakiba and Dr. Kolesnikova. They offer excellent and compassionate care, take your pain seriously, and strive to improve broader understanding of terrible, often ignored medical issues through novel research and outreach efforts. Their staff is kind and welcoming. I saw so many doctors and specialists before finding Dr. Kolesnikova and Dr. Shakiba, who were the first to actually help me. I have worked with them a lot and can honestly say that Ive never had a bad experience!
Dr Shakiba is a knowledgeable doctor who pays close attention to his patients. He’s also well respected by his colleagues in the hospitals. Also, he has good bed side manners and explains everything in great detail.
After four years of going to my gynecologist, and a urologist, I finally have answers. Other doctors could not diagnose me, and Dr Shakiba did! He’s helping me manage my issues until my surgery in April. I’m so thankful I found him. Also, the office staff is very helpful and caring. I will update after my surgery! UPDATE: had my surgery yesterday and I feel great! No pain just mild discomfort. Dr. Shakiba is the best! Everyone a Hackensack hospital (Helena pavilion) was also wonderful. I highly recommend Dr.Shakiba.
My initial visit with Dr. Shakiba went very well. I didn’t wait long, the office is nice and clean, the staff was very friendly. The doc has very good bedside manner. Took the time to explain everything, listened to my concerns, and gave me multiple options. He even laughed at my joke. So far I’ve had a pleasant experience.
Doctor Shakiba is a very kind person, my mom feels very satisfied and happy with his medical services. 100 stars from us.
These doctors are amazing! After months of trying to figure out what was wrong with my bladder, Dr. Shakiba was calm and knowledgeable. He knew right away. The office is nice and clean as well!
The Womens Pelvic Surgery, dedication to offering comprehensive care services is highly commendable. The emphasis on patient-centered care, as evidenced by the range of services provided, ensures that patients receive holistic support tailored to their individual health needs. The staffs professionalism and empathy greatly contribute to a welcoming and reassuring environment, which for me is very important.One of the standout features of the centers service is its commitment to leveraging advanced technology for diagnosis and treatment. This not only showcases the centers dedication to cutting-edge medical practices but also potentially enhances the accuracy of diagnoses and the effectiveness of treatments, leading to better patient outcomes. I very happy with the services provided and the outcome. Thank you to all the staff.
Dr. Shakiba is an excellent doctor. He is very patient and takes his time to explain everything. He is very knowledgeable and I am very grateful for his help. I would recommend him to anyone experiencing pelvic pain.
The doctor made me and my mother feel very hopeful after a great meeting. Dr. Shakira is amazing and brilliant and we place 100 percent faith in him that after years of pain, we can finally see light at the end of this very dark tunnel.
I had pudendal nerve surgery laproscopicly from Dr Shakiba on 4/2. Surgery went well & recovery is not easy because nerves heal very slowly. I made phone calls to the office & thankfully the prescription for gabapentin was immediately prescribed. I saw Dr Shakiba today & he was so caring & made me feel so understood & I feel so fortunate that we came up with continued treatment which consists of Radiofrequency for pelvic nerves & more...that was done in the office today. I highly recommend Dr Shakiba because he cares about his patients & is one of the best, if not the BEST!!!
It was a pleasure visiting Dr. Shakiba’s office. After examination he went right into, didn’t beat around the bush, he told me exactly what needed to be done. Went to other places for consult but no one told me how bad the situation was. His staff was pleasant and very professional. The office was very clean. Joannie is super sweet. Definitely would recommend!!!
My experience with the doctor, medical assistant, and phlebotomist was wonderful back in February. I came in originally because I was having bladder issues. The doctor was informative. I came back today for my scheduled annual and as soon as I came in the front receptionist said I owed $120 for todays visit and I asked if that was with insurance and she said yes it’s $120 and kept mentioned I paid that at my last first before I mentioned that I think I paid my copay of $15 last time. She kept saying no I paid $120 she seemed a bit annoyed with my questions about the payment but I just genuinely wanted to understand the price. She explained it’s because I’m oon and my insurance doesn’t pay good. Which I understood I was oon they let me know before making my first appointment that any balances would be waived for oon. I told her I wasnt prepared with $120 because I wasn’t notified if maybe I can cancel but she kept bringing up I paid it last time. I didn’t want to ask more questions and take up too much of her time so I said okay. She said she has to ask her manager because I took up time in the schedule. She came back out and asked if I can do $80 bucks and I said no. I completely understand the insurance doesn’t pay well and I feel like if I was told over the phone and just explained I would of 100% paid and felt okay with it. I just felt a bit gaslit about insisting I paid $120 last time. I checked my bank statement from 2/23 after I left and it has a charge for my copay of $15. I just wanted to share with any new patients or returning patients to be aware of your charges and ask for proof of receipts. Overall the actually medical providers are good in this office. The front staff can be a bit more honest and open to explaining to patients about the fees better.
Dr Shakiba was able to identify the problems I was having postpartum and offer a non surgical option to try and mitigate it. I am very hopeful that this will be the key, but if I eventually need the surgery I know I am in the best hands!
Yesterday was My first appointment with Dr. Shakiba. Dr. is very nalogebale and discussed my options. Im so happy to get to the bottom of my pproblem which has been going on for years. The front dest staff was very helpful.
I was happy Dr. Shakiba took the time to listen to my concerns and he offers many treatments to better women’s health. He is patient & professional. I’m looking forward to getting treatment for the issue he diagnosed. Thank u!
It was the most amazing doctor visit I had I have been suffering with pain for years but now I have hope ! I went to many doctors for over 25 years who could not diagnose my condition or offer any treatment for my condition. Dr Shakiba did so within several minutes and was very compassionate and easy to speak with. His staff was very friendly and professional and the surgical coordinator Joannie was especially helpful and friendly! I would highly recommend Dr Shakiba and his wonderful staff!
If there were more stars I would give it! I was referred by my Dr for a specialist and I am so pleased. Overall was a great visit. From the medical assistant to the surgical coordinator. Dr Shakiba has phenomenal bedside manner. I have a complicated issue. I have seen many Drs and specialists this year. He took the time with guidance and kindness. He is well informed, well spoken, and you can see that he genuinely cares about his patients and his practice. It was one of the most refreshing humane visits Ive had on this journey. Surgical coordinator Joannie was a delight. You dont feel like another number in his office. Thank you Dr Shakiba!
I am about to get bladder surgery on April 2Which until I met with Dr Shakiba I put offIn fear. Dr Shakiba made me feel soConfident in him and his procedure I’m now not worried about the surgery. AndI hear nothing but positive things aboutDoctor. His whole staff are wonderfulAnd helpful.
Dr. Shakiba is incredibly caring, knowledgeable and efficient. His ability to diagnose and educate his patients is something that I’ve rarely encountered. The staff at this office are very polite and accommodating. Joannie was especially thorough in coordinating next steps and was super helpful overall.
I have never received such amazing treatment from scheduling an appointment, being seen by the doctor, ans reviewing the surgical process. The level of care and compassion in this practice is second to none.
I went for my first consultation with Dr. Khashayer Shakiba who is very compassionate, and I felt very relaxed and comfortable, the staff gave me excellent services. Dr. Shakiba, who cared about my condition, he explained to me the next steps in treating my Fibroids about my future treatment and shared some advice. I highly recommend Dr. Shakiba.
Dr Khashayar is great, very kind and will sit down and listen to your concerns as well as answer all your questions. He is very patient and does not rush you.
Dr. Shakiba made me feel confident in his expertise and took the time answer and address all of my questions. He has excellent bedside manner and I left the office comfortable with his recommendations. His surgical coordinator, Joannie, was also amazing and she displayed a tremendous amount of empathy. She was super patient and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs.
I accompanied my wife for her visit with Dr Shakiba. A wonderful staff and knowledgeable and compassionate doctor made our visit a pleasant one. Everyone was professional friendly and courteous! I would highly recommend Dr Shakiba and his staff!
I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Dr. Khashayar Shakiba regarding my uterine fibroids, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the level of care and expertise provided by him and his team.From the very beginning, Dr. Shakiba demonstrated an exceptional level of knowledge, patiently explaining all available surgery options for treating my condition. His bedside manners were impeccable, and he took the time to address all my questions and concerns in great detail. I felt valued and heard throughout the entire process.What stood out the most was Dr. Shakibas commitment to respecting my personal choices. He attentively listened to my past experiences and medical history, providing professional insights while ensuring I had all the information needed to make an informed decision. Dr. Shakiba encouraged open communication, advising me to discuss the options with my family and welcoming any further questions I might have.The support staff, including the front desk, nurse, and surgery coordinator, were equally amazing. The overall experience left me with the assurance that I am in great hands. Scheduling appointments and the surgery itself were seamless, with minimal wait times. Despite being an out-of-network doctor, Dr. Shakibas service rates are surprisingly affordable.I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shakiba to anyone seeking expert urogynecologic care and pelvic reconstructive surgery. I am grateful for the positive experience and eagerly look forward to being treated by him in the future.
Dr Shakiba’s office is friendly helpful and clean. My first visit with Dr. Shakiba was great. As a women you want to feel comfortable when seeing a new gynecologist and he did just that. He put me at ease and was extremely knowledgeable. Most importantly he listened to me and I didn’t feel rushed.The ladies in the office were also very helpful and friendly.
Around 7 years ago I started feeling fatigued, weak, nauseous, dizzy, etc. After visiting countless doctors being poked for blood every week, they all came back telling me I was perfectly fine to the point i thought I was going crazy. I took matters into my own hands and visited Dr. Shakiba on a referral from a family member. Within 2 months he was able to see I was suffering with Endometriosis. Of course, i had many questions which Dr. Shakiba happily explained everything to me and ensured me that together we would come up with a treatment plan that suits me best. Dr. Shakiba was knowledgable and reassured me that everything would be okay and did not give up on helping me in my journey with endo since i first starting going to him a year and a half ago.
I am beyond grateful to have finally found such a wonderful doctor! Dr. Shakiba is everything you want in a doctor; knowledgeable, supportive, caring and took his time to explain my situation, which is complicated. I highly recommend!
Dr Shakiba takes his time with you and makes sure he answers all your questions. He is patient and very knowledgeable. I’ve been through a lot and feel confident that he is the right doctor for me.For the first time, I am hopeful that he can help me.
Dr. Shakiba is an EXCELLENT doctor. Very proactive, extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and so kind. I have been a patient with him for years and now my daughter is a patient as well. Highly recommend!
Dr. Shakiba was very present and attentive towards my concerns. He gave me options and eased my fears. Thank you Dr. Shakiba!
He rips you off would not operate on me unless I paid 2500.00 for a cosmetic procedure, also gave me a scrip that I had to use his pharmacist in Livingston , he would not let me use my pharmacist, I had surgery in NY city from Dr Kavaler and she was awesome and said I didn’t need and medicine or cosmetic procedure , just be careful with him
Dr. Shakiba is an excellent surgeon. He is very kind, compassionate. I am very happy and fortunate to be under his care. I highly recommend Dr. Shakiba. The staff are pleasant and professional.
Dr. Shakiba is fantastic! He is straightforward, explains everything, and makes you feel safe and well taken care of! The staff is warm and friendly! They go above and beyond to help you! An overall wonderful experience!
Dr. Shakiba and his team provided exceptional care during my initial appointment. They dedicated ample time to address all of my inquiries and concerns. I truly value Dr. Shakibas professional approach and his ability to make patients feel at ease.
Doctor Shakiba is an excellent and caring person. My mom is very happy and satisfied with the doctors treatment and knowledge. I truly recommend him to others.
Dr. Shakiba is very thorough and knowledgeable. I was impressed by how calming he was and welcoming during my first visit. He took his time to speak with me about my concerns and prior medical history. He has been the only DR I have ever visited for my PCOS symptoms that has taken the time to explain things to me and discuss what the next steps would be going forward. Didn’t feel rushed at all which is also something I have experienced prior. Really happy to have found such great location. The staff is also very professional, detailed and welcoming :)
After being diagnosed with a large grapefruit size fibroid 2 months ago, I consulted with 5 different doctors. After reading all of the reviews on Dr. Shakiba I decided to schedule a consultation. Im so glad I saw him!! Dr. Shakiba was extremely thorough. He has a great bedside manner. He was calm, confident, and he took his time to answer my long list of questions - he didnt make me feel rushed at all. Him and his staff made me laugh more than a couple of times which made the visit even easier. Ive had so much anxiety about potential surgery, but Dr. Shakiba and Joannie (his surgical coordinator) made me feel comfortable enough to schedule the laparoscopic robotic surgery before I even left his office. I would 100% recommend Dr. Shakiba.
A few years ago, I had a myomectomy for fibroids with Dr. Shakiba. After the myomectomy, I did an embryo transfer and was able to successfully have a healthy beautiful baby. My OBGYN wanted to perform a C section at 36 weeks due to the myomectomy. After my persistence, we agreed to have the C section at 38 weeks. During the C section, my OBGYN asked me who the surgeon was that did such a meticulous job on my myomectomy. My OBGYN said Dr. Shakiba did such a great job that I could have waited till 40 weeks to have the baby.Fast forward to now, I was waking up 7-8 times a night to go to the bathroom. I also had severe pain on my back, every time I ate. The pain was so excruciating that I would hunch over and not be able to get up. I have been to so many doctors, I have done so many tests to find out the cause of the pain. No one was able to diagnose what was wrong with me.Then I decided to come see Dr. Shakiba. After listening to me for few minutes, he immediately knew the cause of the pain and the reason why I was getting up 7-8 times a night. He also asked me if I had any pain going down my leg, which I did!!! I had no idea that the cause of the leg pain was related to the diagnosis. I just figured that I pulled a muscle at the gym.I am scheduled to have a partial hysterectomy in few days. I am looking forward to finally being able to sleep without getting up 7-8 times a night and not having the pain.My experience with Dr. Shakiba and his office has been amazing. The surgery coordinator, Joannie has been so helpful and kind.I will write another review after the partial hysterectomy, but I am sure it will also be a stellar review!Thank you, Dr. Shakiba and everyone at the office!
Recommend highly. First office visit Dr Shakiba determined the cause of my pain and offered a solution. I have been chasing this pain with other doctors and procedures for more than 3 years. Im excited to schedule surgery and put this pain and discomfort behind me. Bis staff is friendly and i feel the doctor was very good at diagnostic
My wife and I attended a consultation with Dr Shakiba. He was very personable and knowledgeable and offered several paths forward. We followed his advice to implement a conservative treatment strategy in an attempt to avoid surgery. Each office staff member we engaged with was patient and helpful.
I’ve had such a great experience.at the Women’s Pelvic Surgery. Dr. Shakiba did an excellent job on my surgery. The nurses and staff at the office are kind, compassionate, and understanding. I’m forever grateful for them literally changing my quality of life for the better. No more worrying about leaks. Highly recommend Dr. Shakiba. In addition, the nurses, doctors, and all the staff at Hackensack Medical were professional, and so kind!!!! 😊❤️
There are no urogynecologists in my area. I traveled an hour to meet with Dr. Shakiba. The office staff were helpful. The wait time was minimal. The exam was thorough. He explained the issue clearly & my options. Afterwards I had further questions. I emailed the office. Dr. Shakiba called me & took his time addressing my further concerns & questions.
I have consulted three other doctors before deciding on my hysterectomy. Dr. Shakiba was the only doctor that took his time to explain everything clearly and give me all the options available. He made me feel at ease about my upcoming procedure. I know I am in great hands! Thank you Dr. Shakiba and his excellent team!
I have been under the care of Dr. Khashayar for more than 12 years. I initially sought his expertise for a pelvic issue, but I ultimately chose to continue seeing him as my regular GYN. Each visit has been a pleasant experience, and I have found him to be exceptionally caring and highly knowledgeable in his field.
The staff at the womens pelvic surgery center of North Jersey was helpful, friendly and patient. Dr. Shakiba has a great bedside manner, and made me feel comfortable in his care.
Dr. Shakiba was amazing. You don’t find doctors like him that often. He took the time to listen to everything I had to say. That is something I truly value and appreciate in a doctor. All the girls on his staff were amazing. So helpful and kind.
I have had unknown pelvic pain for years. I drove from Ohio to see Dr. Shakiba. I felt he knew how to help me and seemed very wise and knowledgeable. He spent a lot of time with me and my husband discussing what he felt was wrong with me and the plan to try and fix my pain issues. I feel confident going forward with surgery and his other treatment plans.
Dr. Shakiba is a wonderful OBGYN. I have been his patient for many years. He has performed 2 major surgeries for me successfully as well as several outpatient procedures when needed. Recently he has been monitoring my fibroids to make sure they are not growing at a rapid rate. I recommend all women, but particularly minority women to his practice. Shakiba is a wonderful person and physician.
So, I have had interstitial cystitis for as long as I can remember. I’ve been absolutely miserable in a massive flare for the past month or longer. Before this, my “normal” bladder was never great either. I always had/have to be near a bathroom because I have to pee A LOT or at least feel like I have to go and a little comes out. I love wine, and just dealt with the peeing, so I can have it. I usually have to be home for that though, to be near the bathroom for my constant peeing. The past few months, along with the constant feeling of having to go and the little to no relief when going, I’ve also had lower back pain and pelvic discomfort. I researched high and low for a urogynecologist and found Dr. Shakiba online. He, along with his staff, had excellent reviews. Today was my first appointment, and I can see now why those reviews were posted. After explaining everything to Dr. Shakiba, and before even doing an exam, he came to the conclusion that I have endometriosis and it has been affecting all of my nerve endings, and therefore causing all of my symptoms. After the exam, he was sure of it. He took his time to listen to everything I had say and his assistant was the sweetest. I do need surgery to shave off the endometriosis and get my life back. I’m fully confident in his skills/knowledge and have scheduled the procedure. He may have found what has been wrong with me for all of these years and for all of the suffering I have endured. I’m looking forward to the next steps. The surgical coordinator, Joannie, was so sweet also, and spoke to me for a long time after. She helped to ease my mind a bit with the surgery. This was my last hope, as I’ve tried everything, and I feel I made the right decision entrusting my health into Dr. Shakiba’s hands. I’ll keep you posted!
Dr Shakiba is very knowledgeable, caring, personable doctor with great bed side manners. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I recommend Dr Shakiba to all my friends and family.
I have only the best things to say about Dr. Shakiba and his staff. I lost my bladder control severely and had multiple prolapse after my prolonged labor, which destroyed my postpartum and my self confidence, among other things. Dr Shakiba took me and treated e everything with such professionalism and confidence, when other doctors didn’t even want to see me.He performed a complicated surgery and I went through 2 combined physical therapies that restore my health and womanhood, and furthermore I can get back to my business and perform my daily activities with comfort! I will be grateful to Dr. Shakiba and his staff forever. Thank you and God bless your work!!!Frensis
Excellent care as always. Staff is friendly and attentive.The office is impeccably clean and organized. Dr. Shakiba’s knowledge of women’s health issues is outstanding. He is always very kind, courteous and reassuring. I wish all doctors would follow his example of how to treat patients.
Love the ease of getting an appointment at this office. Dr. Shakiba is thorough and takes his time with his patients. I highly recommend him.
After more than 15 yrs of painful, super heavy periods I’m finally free :) I had to change my diva cup and/or super tampons EVERY SINGLE HOUR otherwise I would make a mess on myself... yes, during the nights as well, so no sleep. This was my norm every month for the first three days of my period.My previous gynecologist kept doing painful biopsies, numerous polyps removals, and prescribing medications to try and resolve the bleeding but nothing helped.Dr Shakiba and his staff were incredibly sympathetic and understanding. He gave me the diagnosis I have been waiting on for years, and was able to treat me accordingly. He was the only one who listened to what I really needed and followed through. So grateful to have found this place! Best decision I ever made!!!
I was very satisfied with Dr Shakiba regarding his expertise and suggestions that he made for me.
Dr. Shakiba is so kind and understanding. He actually listens to you. He does not rush you and takes time to answer all your questions and concerns. Never a long waiting time to see or even talk to him. I would recommend him highly. I have full trust in him. If you are looking for a urogynecologist hes the one you want to go too. I definitely rate him 5*
I found the office to be very clean and welcoming. The staff was very kind and helpful. Dr Shakiba is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable and at ease during my exam. I am a new patient but looking forward to being a full time patient.
I have known Dr. Shakiba since 2014 when he performed surgery on me. After all these years after surgery, the benefits and quality of his skill and care are still very apparent. He is gentle and calm and professional and very easy to speak to even about the most sensitive of matters. I feel very confident in his care and recommendations.
Excellent visit with a very knowledgeable, professional, informative and caring doctor. I wish I had come here sooner so I would have my health issues addressed. I was going to someone else for the last 3 years with no solutions.Dr Shakiba has not only addressed the problem and has put me on the path of health . Thank you to him and his friendly & respectful staff. I highly recommend Dr Shakiba and staff.
Dr. Shakiba and Dr. Kolesnikova are excellent . Over the last 18 weeks I have been their patient and am comfortable and trust both of these doctors. I will continue seeing both of these doctors for my health care. The office staff, nurses and any employee I encountered were great with all explanations. I am so thankful I was referred to this office.
I have taken my 78 yr old mother to this clinic for the past two years. She sees Dr. Shakiba. He is quite the perfectionist with all his procedures which it is always a great thing. His knowledge and passion should be one to emulate by others doctors in his profession. He explains everything well & does his best to make my mother feel comfortable & safe. The whole staff is also on top of their game. One of them is Joannie. She has a great way to make everyone feel comfortable & provides useful information whenever we need help. We highly recommend this clinic!!!
I met Dr. Shakiba yesterday, as I’m in need of having some endometriosis removed prior to my next IVF cycle. After a very painful physical examination he told me that I have a small uterus. How in the world do you determine that from a physical exam?! In any case, I said I was there again for just a pre-surgical consult. He asked me how many times I have tried IVF…I said just once . Wouldn’t you know he suggested I just get a surrogate. It was so flippant, as if to say why didn’t I just think to do it. So yes, I’m there to try and get my body together for IVF but because he is so clearly tone deaf that was his remarkable solution. While he might be skilled, and nuanced regarding women’s gynecology he truly lacks the skill of active listening.
Excellent facility! The surgical coordinator Joannie Rivera is compassionate, knowledgeable and helpful, walking us through the whole process. She truly goes above and beyond. Dr. Shakiba was highly recommended to us and Im so glad we chose Womens Pelvic Surgery of North Jersey for my mothers surgery. I know my mother is in good hands.
Every staff member in Dr. Shakibas office was pleasant and courteous. Dr. Shakiba was attentive, thorough and explained the procedure to both my husband & myself. Excellent experience and I will be scheduling my surgery with them in the near future.
Felt very comfortable with the visit. Most of my questions were answered and I trust I am in good hands with Dr. Shakiba. I look forward to having everything taken care of as soon as possible.Surgery 5 weeks ago. So happy I had it done.Had follow up and first Vitalia treatment. So far everything is good. Still so happy I had this taken care of. I like the office and the staff very much.
Great experience, Dr. Shakiba’s confidence and knowledge made me feel comfortable and at ease. His staff were wonderful. I would, without a doubt, recommend this practice.
My first time meeting Dr Shakiba he was referred to my by my OBGYN; I felt comfortable with Dr Shakiba the minute he walked into the room. I felt in my heart he was being honest with me the while conversing. He gave me important advice which helped me make an educated decision. The staff also was pleasant and friendly.
Dr. Shakiba and his team are the absolute best. He performed two of my surgeries, and I recovered well after each of them. He has a great sense of humor and thoroughly addressed all my concerns.
Dr. Shakiba and his staff were incredibly understanding. They took the time to listen to all of my concerns and I was finally able to get a proper diagnosis after struggling with OAB for 2 years. So grateful for Dr. Shakiba and his team to finally get some answers. Highly recommend!
Office was clean and nice. Doctor was understanding and made me feel comfortable. High likely will be back for a surgery soon.
The office staff are professional and kind. Dr. Shakiba not only listened to and understood my concerns, his response was specific on how to proceed. I feel confident with his help and I am comfortable putting my health in his care.
Excellence & Perfection at its Peak!Dr. K. Shakiba is a marvelous doctor and excels in what he does every day! He is also a very knowledgeable and a compassionate person, as well as a great listener to your concerns. He puts you at ease and listens what the patient prefers, minimizing any ambiguities or concerns during the care or a surgery. He is simply a terrific surgeon!The staff is very hands on and cooperative as well. I had a wonderful and a very easy going experience at Women’s Pelvic Surgery. I highly recommend this place!
Dr. Shakiba office staff is Amazing, especially Kaylin. Going to a doctors office can can be stressful at times however Kaylin makes the experience so much more comfortable. She always greets you with a smile, goes above and beyond by returning follow up calls, helps with scheduling conflicts. Her level of customer service cannot be matched.Dr. Shakiba himself is very understanding and easily addresses your concern based on his years of expertise. I drive 55 mins just to see the doctor as needed as the combination of the staff and doctor can’t be beat.
My experience at Women’s Pelvic Surgery was great! I found Dr. Shakiba vía a Google search because I needed some relief for my painful, heavy periods, extreme bloating and painful cramping.Dr. Shakiba was very thorough during my exam and answered all of my questions when I asked about the surgery, the aftercare, scaring, and when I could try to conceive a baby after the surgery. I was worried about some things just because of the unknown and he reassured me on multiple occasions.Even during my 6 month f/u ultrasound, Dr. Sakiba called me on a Saturday evening to see how I was doing and to discuss my report results. He’s a very dedicated doctor and medical professional.Nurse Jackie was also great! She did my 6month ultrasound f/u exam and was very nice and asked me how I was feeling after the surgery.Overall, my experience was great with Dr. Shakiba’s office and I’m happy that my fibroids are gone and my quality of life has improved tremendously. Dr. Shakiba is a kind and caring doctor and is concerned about improving the life of women who are suffering from uterine fibroids. And as an African American women where fibroids are prevalent, it was great finding someone who could help me feel better overall.Thank You for your kindness Dr. Shakiba.
Overall my consultation with Dr. Shakiba was good. He seems very knowledgeable and the staff were kind. My only criticism is that I didn’t appreciate a comment he made stating that I shouldn’t complain about mypain that was considered “normal” and, compared it to his other patients with severe cases. While I was happy to learn of my mild case and that I would not need surgery, I felt it wasn’t right to devalue the pain I experience.
Always a pleasure coming to this office. On time, friendly staff and excellent doctor!
The doctor was super attentive and patient with the details of my situation. He looked at my case and gave me many options. I felt safe and calm for future decision-making I will have to do
My first time at this office and I was extremely nervous because I’ve had terrible luck finding a new OB. But I’m glad I went to Dr Shakiba, he was very confident that we could resolve my issue and finally put my mind at ease. The office staff was also extremely friendly and very clear. I now have Dr Shakiba as my new OB and couldn’t be more relieved.
Incredible experience. Dr. Shakiba is the most patient, kind, understanding, knowledgeable doctor I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I saw him for an initial consult for pain I had been having for years that my previous OBGYN kept brushing off. Dr. Shakiba recognized exactly why I was in pain and the very next day I was able to have surgery to relieve that pain. I’m now on the road to a pain-free recovery thanks to him.
Dr. Shakiba and the entire staff were friendly and so accommodating. They took the time to explain everything about the surgery to my mother, the pre and post op expectations and was generally a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!
When you have weird problems down there and your annual visit etc. is not standard stuff, Dr. Shakiba is the one to see. I have been a patient for six or seven years and highly recommend him. It also should be noted that he spends a lot of time with you. It is not a two second in and out the door.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I dont have words to describe how life changing it was seeing Dr. Shakiba and his team. I was dealing with pain and discomfort for years and after being sent to this doctor for this test that doctor for that test, I realized I needed a specialist. I found Dr. Shakiba and read the reviews from women just like me and I was relieved [and now happily writing my own!].This was a scary journey but one that ended with a much needed surgery that gave my my life back. I am forever grateful to Dr. Shakibas expertise and the comfort he and his team [especially Dr. Kolesnikova and Lauren!] showed me. The search stops here!
I don’t know many women who actually look forward to having their annual exam, but it must be because they don’t have Dr. Shakiba and his staff to care for them!I always know the exam is thorough, and he will be patient with any questions I may have. I am treated with the utmost respect, and know that I can trust that the information he gives me is correct. Whether it’s an office visit, or surgery, Dr. Shakiba is compassionate, caring, and truly a remarkable and unique doctor. His care is the best I’ve ever received, and I feel the best I’ve ever felt, and most confident after being under his care. There is nobody better!
Dr. Shakiba is an outstanding doctor. He is caring and listened to my concerns and was understanding of my situation. He’s is an exceptional surgeon and has exceeded my expectations with the treatment he has provided. Hes also very detailed when communicating the type of procedure that will be performed. His entire office staff is great. The front desk is courteous and accommodating. I would highly recommend him, he’s the best!
Absolutely wonderful experience from setting up an appointment to office staff and to especially Dr Shakiba himself. His attention to my ailment and his insightful diagnosis was a relief to my painful medical problem. I am thankful to my gynecologist who recommended him to me. After two weeks and three different physicians , Dr Shakiba was able to diagnosi and suggest treatment to alleviate my pain.
Dr Shakiba has a wonderful bedside manner and is understanding of my personal needs. I feel very comfortable talking to him. Everyone in his office is very helpful as well. Highly recommended
I was so lucky and happy to find Dr. Shakiba!! I was in severe pelvic pain for months. I was in the emergency room several times. The emergency room doctors and my gynecologist just kept saying it was from ovarian cysts and to deal with the pain. I finally researched gyn pelvic specialists and found Dr. Shakiba. He knew what was wrong right away and it wasn’t from ovarian cysts. He fit me in for surgery two days later. I had a hysterectomy. It has been 3 1/2 weeks since my surgery and I have a little pain when I overdo it. He changed my quality of life!! I am forever grateful!! His staff is amazing too!! They are all so kind and helpful!!Erika R
June 2023 - Dr. Shakiba and staff are always pleasant, and stay on top of newest treatments.July 2023 - Wow - today was my first visit with Dr. Kolesnikova and she is fabulous! Very easy-going, great interpersonal skills, knowledgeable and confident.
Dr Shakiba has been a tremendous help with navigating my condition. Hes made me feel very comfortable and is a knowledgeable expert with a wonderful staff. Would highly recommend.
Dr Shakiba is amazing, very profesional and knows what he is doing. He performed surgery on me and i can only say good things about him and the staff. I would recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Khashayar Shakiba & Dr. Kateryna Kolesnikova are compassionate, empathetic doctors who listen actively to patients and take the time to address patients’ specific needs. Located in the heart of Bergen County, miles outside of New York City, this practice offers the latest equipment and technology to support patients. The doctors take pride in staying in stride with the latest research which is a great comfort to patients. Highly recommended.
Dr. Shakiba is great!!He is very knowledgeable and he is a very good listener.He specifically helped me with Endometriosis. He was caring during and after surgery.I highly recommend him.
Great place to come! Excellent care! The doctors and staff are caring and concerned, friendly while maintaining professional and efficient standards of service.
This is the first time I went to see Dr. Shakibha. The office was really clean and new to the art. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I really glad I did find this practice. I hope my issues get solved and I do not have to see any other doctors.
Dr. Shakibah is very knowledgeable in his field. He is very passionate, patient, listens and explains things thoroughly. He is a skillful surgeon and a great doctor. I recommend him 100% to anyone in search of a good doctor that cares and takes the time.
Dr Shakiba is very thorough, kind, patient and explains in detail any treatment he will be providing for you. He does not rush you and gives you his time for any questions or concerns you may have. He makes your visit very comfortable.
I had my first appointment this week and Dr. Shakiba and his assistant were both great. Ive been to a few other specialists before seeing Dr. Shakiba to get more opinions for my condition and find a surgeon I can trust and no one even came close to providing me with their level of care. I actually felt cared for, they listened to my concerns, made sure all my questions were answered, and I felt as if they genuinely wanted to figure out what was going on with me. Office staff is courteous, helpful, and efficient. Thank you Dr. Shakiba and staff!
I am grateful for my experience with Dr. Shakiba and the entire staff. Everyone made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Post surgery scarring was minimal. I am very pleased with my results.
There is a lot to say about this office!Staff are very professional, Dr. Shakiba takes the time to explain and guide you through the treatment plan.And the place is very clean.Happy I made the switch to this office!
Excellent service. Dr Shakiba took his time to give me a very good explanation about my case.
One of the best doctors that I have had. He listened to my issues and did a thorough exam. He than asked appropriate questions to make sure I hadn’t forgotten anything. He gave me a prescription for my immediate issue and a referral to see another specialist.He is cheerful and compassionate and makes a me comfortable to discuss my concerns.All his office staff and technicians and nurses have also been very kind and efficient. I highly recommend him.
My experience at Womens Pelvic Surgery was great. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Dr. Shakiba took the time to listen and was very thorough. He is very knowledgeable and discussed a variety of options to treat my conditions.
I met with Dr. Shakiba for the first time in mid-October. I was the first appointment of the day and Dr. Shakiba was running a tad late because he was at the hospital. In the meantime, I met with Dr. Kolesnikova. She began to gather my history while we waited for the doctor. I have never felt more heard in my entire life. Another staff member takes notes so that Dr. Kolesnikova can truly give her absolute undivided attention. She is so compassionate and welcoming. When Dr. Shakiba came in and began the exam, she was right there and LITERALLY held my hand the entire time. I cried through much of the visit and both of them were so patient and so understanding. My biggest fear at 30 years old was losing my uterus. Dr. Shakiba came up with a surgical plan that worked best for all parts of me: my symptoms, my diagnoses, and my fears/desires. After meeting with the treatment team, I went to meet with the surgical coordinator, Joannie. She was able to schedule me for surgery in just two and a half weeks. She was so helpful and so informative regarding the next steps I need to take to get the ball rolling. She is incredibly responsive via email and it seems as though she shares the same passion that the doctors do in getting women more than adequate care. The entire staff made me feel like I am more than just a patient and a number. There was only one other woman in the office which leads me to believe that they schedule their appointments so that they have ample time to spend with each person. If you are on the fence about seeing a specialist for any gynecological issue (and beyond, as I have endometriosis all over my pelvic organs) please give Dr. Shakiba a try. While he is an out of network provider for me, his fees are so much more reasonable than any other provider Ive come across. I truly believe this practice is focused on getting women the help that we need. I apologize for the lengthy review, but this was such a wonderful experience. The entire staff from reception to surgical coordination is absolutely wonderful. My procedure is scheduled for the first week of November and I will update this review after that. Thank you to all at Dr. Shakibas office... I hope that you will be a part of my life and my journey beyond this procedure.
I have never had such a positive experience with a doctor. Dr. Shakiba is incredible! Extremely pleasant, caring, kind, and patient. He took the time to address all my concerns and explain everything in debt until he was sure I understood. I feel very lucky to have found his office. Great staff and amazing doctor!
In addition to being a gifted surgeon,Dr. Shakiba is kind and caring. His explanations are thorough and easy to understand, and he never makes you feel rushed. It took 9 years and 6 different doctors before I found Dr. Shakiba and entrusted him with my surgery.
Dr. Shakiba is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced doctor. He communicates clearly and is a good listener, as well. Dr. Shakiba has a warm and caring bedside manner. I would highly recommend him.
I would highly recommend dr. Shakiba. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate. He paid full attention to my complain about pudendal nerve pain and discussed various options for treatment.The office staff is very friendly and cooperative.
I highly recommend Women’s Pelvic Surgery of New Jersey located in Bergen County just miles outside New York City.Dr Khashayar & Dr Kolesnikova are extremely knowledgeable and have the most up-to-date technology and information available to patients. Most importantly, they are kind, compassionate, and truly take the time to listen to their patients concerns and questions making them feel valued & heard.
I chose Dr. Shakiba because of his experience, excellent reputation and reviews. I was not disappointed. Dr. Shakiba was attentive, knowledgeable and professional. He was thorough in his questioning of my symptoms and in explaining the right course of action. His staff is also efficient and courteous. I am very pleased…thank you!
Excellent all around. His Front Desk Person was excellent in checking me in and giving me a tablet to complete my medical history. I met a wonderful Physicians Assistant that confirmed my medical history and went out of her way to make me feel valued. Dr. Shakiba was the role model for his wonderful team. His genuine interest in my health and answering all my questions helped me a lot. I researched him before I selected him for my care and have no doubt I made the right pick! He is a caring medical professional and I feel I am being taken care of by one of the best in Womens Health.
I was very nervous when I walked in office but Dr. Shakira and his team made me feel very comfortable and immediately knew what my issue was after he examined me. I recommend him and this practice highly.
I met Dr Shakiba today for the 1st timeHe made me feel very comfortable and he explained everything in detail what is needed to be doneI would definitely recommend himJoannie was also very helpful and explained everythingAlso staff was very pleasant
I had a prolapsed bladder and uterus that were creating serious health concerns, but Dr. Shaking and his caring, competent team turned my life around. I had surgery - a first that is was dreading - but three days later, I was feeling better than I had in ages. No need for pain medications, able to take walks my first week, and now, two weeks out, my incisions have nearly disappeared! I cannot praise this team more highly! In addition to being a great surgeon, Dr. Shakiba is a kind and gentle caregiver and his staff is just the best I expected a difficult recovery, but it’s been a seamless path back to health!Rochelle Saxena
Dr. Khashayar Shakiba, he is the best Surgeon I had surgery with him , I did my thorough research and I wasn’t comfortable with the few doctors and with him I knew he was the one to Perform my surgery and I had no complaints at all and he is a very nice doctor. He listens and his staff are very attentive. I definitely recommend Dr. Shakiba.
After having several tests at Dr. Shakiba‘s office; he explained everything that needs to be done, and he has a very calm and sure of himself demeaner. I have full confidence that I will be able to correct the problems. I have and look forward to a long relationship with his office. Highly recommend.
Dr. Khashayar Shakiba demonstrated to be very knowledgeable with the information he provided me during my visit, and is patient with questions asked.Dr. Khashayar Shakiba has the most pleasant staff I have experienced in a doctor’s office.I had a comfortable experience visiting Dr. Khashayar Shakiba, and HIGHLY recommend you visit Dr. #Khashayar #Shakiba too.
I just had my appointment with Dr. Shakib. I can’t tell you how mad I am because you go through the whole examination explanation of what the surgery for prolapse will look like and then he drops a bombshell on you that he only takes Medicare if you drop $2000 for some kind of physical therapy treatment at the end of it all! Why wasn’t I told us when I made the appointment? If I had known that from the beginning, I would’ve never wasted my time going through all of this. It doesn’t matter to me how good of a surgeon or a doctor he is but it just goes to show you money talks. Beware ask as many questions as you can before you go to that office.
Dr. Shakiba is always professional, gentle and kind. He listens carefully, and cares for the comfort of his patients at all times. He is a fantastic surgeon, and I trust him implicitly. It’s hard to find anyone like him. He is the best, and I can’t imagine going to anyone else after being under his care! He is truly amazing.
Dr. Shakiba is very caring, he always explains everything so you understand. He makes you comfortable and listens your concerns. Any questions he answers with explanations and no matter how many times you ask about anything he keeps informing you . I recommend 100% Dr. Shakiba. The front desk staff could be more friendly but they are ok though.Updating front desk staff he has now are very friendly, very helpful, and understanding, they help accommodating the best possible time when scheduling your next appointment.l, but overall I will recommend Dr. Shakiba regardless because he’s really good and gives importance to your concerns 100%
Dr Shakiba is the best of the best!!! He is caring, polite and very kind. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Joannie Rivera is the best and very helpful. Thank you !!!!
I had surgery with Dr. Shakiba less than two weeks ago. I am so happy to report that I feel great! He has seen me 2x since surgery - once because I had a concern (turned out to be nothing), and once for a post-op visit. He listened carefully and made me feel heard. I am pleasantly surprised by my progress which I feel is a direct reflection of the quality of care I received.
By mere luck I learned about Dr Shakibaat a manicure salon of all places.This lady was raving about this amazing doctor who had just performed a robotic hysterectomy procedure on her and she was able to go home on the same day.I contacted his office, went there with my husband and met Dr Shakiba.We scheduled my surgery on the same dayOnly 3 weeks after my procedure I feel great and wish I had it done it a long time agoDr Shakiba and his whole staff are amazing compassionate and incredibly skilledprofessionalsI am grateful to Dr Shakiba and entire staff to have treated me with such respect and skillful knowledge
I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Shakiba. When I first phoned the office to make an appointment I spoke with Agnes the office manager who couldn’t have been more helpful and nice.When I saw the doctor he had a very nice bedside manner and explained everything to me perfectly. Afterwards I saw the surgical coordinator who made sure all my questions were answered before I departed the office. Dr. Shakiba will be performing my surgery and I feel confident that he will do a good job!
Before I went to see Dr. Shakiba I was in a lot of pain for more than two months. After seen a few doctors with no luck, I went to the emergency room, there the doctor diagnosed me and advised me to go see a Urogynecology since there was nothing they could do for me. I found Dr. Shakiba on line and decided to call since his reviews were very good, they gave me an appointment for the following day. On my first visit he explained to me exactly what my problem was and the treatment that I needed, after only one treatment out of three I never had the pain again. Dr. Shakiba is the best.
This review is for my most recent visit on 10/26/2021 and for even more a prior surgery in 2016. Dr. Shakiba and his staff are wonderful. He is hands down one of the best Doctors I have ever had. Perhaps even the best. As a healthcare worker that is not something I say casually as I am pretty particular. In 2016 I saw him for a second surgical opinion and decided that day that he was going to be the surgeon for me. He took the time and patience to listen and to elaborate on what he thought was this issue. He also explained why previous interventions with my general gynecologist had not been successful long term or caused other issues over time. My one regret was not finding him sooner. His diagnosis was correct and confirmed by the surgical pathology report. I deeply appreciate and value his candor, demeanor and skills. I have even referred a few friends to him.At present I am still weighing my surgical options for a different issue. Once again I value the information and time he has given to me. His honesty, sincerity and compassion are the tops. His office staff is great and very efficient and kind and his PA Nicole is great.
Dr. Shakiba is an excellent doctor. He has not only been professional but also understanding of our situation. He’s is an exceptional surgeon and has exceeded my expectations with the treatment he has provided. His staff are also kind and very accommodating. I would highly recommend him, he’s the best!
I was experiencing discomfort for quite some time in the pelvic vaginal area. After researching a few doctors I decided to see Dr. Shakiba. I am so glad I did! He found and explained very easily what was causing the discomfort and immediately created a plan to help me get better.
Dr. Shakiba and his staff are wonderful. He takes his time with you and explains everything thoroughly. He was always accessible. He is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him to everyone. He has also treated my mother and mother-in-law with the same amazing bedside manner he showed me.
I love Dr. Shakiba! He is so knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He is sincere and extremely empathetic. He has helped me overcome several health issues; I have so much faith and trust in him. He is invaluable!! His office is very clean, and his staff is very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Shakiba and there is definitely no other like him!
I have been wanting to write this post about how extraordinary my experience with this doctors office has been every single time I have eithered called or visited. I have sat in front of my computer, not knowing where to begin to express the magnitude of gratitude that I have towards everyone I encountered working there. It’s hard to find the words to truly express how life changing my experience has been here. After visiting so many doctors and hospitals, I began to feel more like a lab rat than a patient in pain. Pain that affected my entire life and its quality. I have polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis. I felt heard here. I felt compassion here. I finally feel that I have an entire team of people that really see me, and really want to help. I prayed so hard the morning I found their number. I called crying and in pain and they told me to come in right away. Cynthia and Kaylin at the front desk were kind, accommodating, welcoming and best of all personable and relatable. Everyone in the office is, Agnes, Lauren, Jackie all amazing. Even the staff who didnt see me but I passed in the hallway, all were kind and nice. Joannie, thank you for your patience, your kindness, and how you go above and beyond for your patients to make sure they get what they need and understand everything. Dr. Khashayar Shakiba and Dr Kolesnikova,so many doctors have made me feel like a number and not a person. Besides my primary, Dr. Kvetny, I lost trust in doctors. Until the two of you. You both made me feel heard, understood,safe and gave me hope that there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Most importantly, you found a way to be compassionate but honest and I respect that. Dr Kolesnikova,I remember you being the last person I looked at before my surgery and looking into your eyes, feeling safe. I know my journey isn’t over yet, but I thank God, I have doctors and an amazing staff that will be there for me to help make my quality of life better and better. Thank you and I recommend this office to everyone looking for answers and actually finding doctors that work to find the solutions. God Bless You All.
Dr Shakiba is very knowledgeable, very professional and has excellent bed side manner. He kindly explained my problem and his recommended treatment, using new technology to help me visualize and understand my situation in a very simple way, His staff were all very friendly and helpful in all of aspects of my visit too , which made my visit much more agreeable.
From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and patient. During my first visit, I was in a good amount of pain so I was not the easiest patient, however the staff and Dr. Shakiba were still very understanding. They have sufficient parking, and the staff answered my questions in a kind, professional manner every time I spoke with them. I have been to many specialists and most rush you, judge you if you are in pain, are not sympathetic, do not make eye contact, nor listen to what you are saying. Dr. Shakiba, however, was the exact opposite for he listened to everything I had to say, was patient with me, was sympathetic to my pain and new diagnosis, and made the time to answer all of my many questions. Also, he is an experienced and knowledgeable physician. I have seen over 8 specialists in this area of medicine over the past 10 years as well as different specialists to help with my current symptoms and diagnose me, however they either misdiagnosed me, could not help, or gave up trying to help me. Finally after all these years, I have found a doctor who was able to not only diagnose me but diagnose me correctly. This office doesn’t even take my insurance, yet because of my positive experience, I still choose to continue with care from Dr. Shakiba.
Where to begin about Dr. Shakiba and the entire staff here! I booked an appointment with him online on a Saturday, and they got me in that following Tuesday. I had been having problems for 8+ years that went undiagnosed. Jessica, the PA, brought me back immediately (no wait time at all) and listened to my symptoms. I was nervous and she was kind and understanding. When Dr. Shakiba came in, after hearing my symptoms, he diagnosed me then and there. YEARS later and countless doctors could not figure out the reason for my pain. The only way to be 100% (he was 95% sure of my diagnosis) was to have a robotic procedure and see. He spent almost an hour discussing everything with me, as I was shocked by the diagnosis. Upon leaving, he told me that if I did want to have the procedure done, to get in touch with his surgical coordinator Joannie. Her and I have had multiple phone calls and she is just THE BEST at what she does! I had asked her to get something approved by my insurance, but it was quite last minute. Although she was extremely busy, she went out of her way to set everything up for me and put a rush on it so it would be ready for the day of my surgery. She kept in touch with me, checked in and helped me with every step. I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone.The day of my surgery, Dr. Shakiba calmed my nerves, as did the staff at Hackensack. A few days later, Jessica called from the office to check on me. All in all, this is one of the most amazing and caring doctor’s and offices I have ever been to.Thank you Dr. Shakiba, Joannie, Jessica and the rest of the staff!
Dr Shakiba is the best I highly recommend him . He took his time to explain everything to me and my mom even i wasn’t there he answered all the questions for me. Through the phone and give me a best option to help my mom.
Dr. Shakiba & his staff are GREAT! made me feel very comfortable discussing my issues. Helped me out with my bladder problems. Thank you!
Amazing office staff! Everyone is really nice and they make you feel welcome and comfortable all the time! Doctor is very knowledgeable and also makes you feel comfortable. No issues!
Dr. Shakiba is amazing. He is easily the most progressive and knowledgeable physician I have seen in this specialty. He is always very attentive and each visit is comprehensive. He doesn’t rush and really validates the patient’s experience. Dr. Shakiba was really wonderful after surgery as well and the hospital staff spoke so highly of him. My outcome this far has been better than I allowed myself to hope for. I consider myself lucky to have found him and urge anyone in need of help with urogyn issues to seek his care!
Dr Shakiba is an amazing Doctor and Surgeon. I had surgery and he did an fantastic job. My recovery was quick, he answered any concerns of mine, and I am feeling so much better. The office is very clean and the staff is very nice. I will always recommend Dr Shakiba!
I had pelvic surgery 2 weeks ago for a prolapsed uterus, bladder sling and hysterectomy. After very little discomfort for 2 days , I felt as if I never had surgery. Dr. Shakiba is a great surgeon. I had complete confidence in him as I entered my surgery and I can only say Im so glad I found him. Hes the best !5 years later .. all great .. Dr Shakiba is a caring wonderful doctor. I highly recommend himIf you are considering Mona Lisa Touch procedure , Dr Shakiba can definitely take care if you. He is skilled and caring. I’ve seen improvements in the areas of concern to me. I have complete trust in Dr Shakiba.
After 10 years of going to various OBGYN’s and being told my pain was “in my head”, Dr.Shakiba took one look at me and was able to accurately diagnose me. I had surgery and am now feeling a thousand times better. It took a decade, but I finally got the help I needed.
I had a complicated pelvic prolapse and after much consideration, decided to have surgery with Dr. Shakiba. He is very knowledgeable and thorough and I trust his expertise. The staff is friendly and attentive. I recommend him if you are in need of a urogynecologist.
Brought Mom here when she was referred by her gastro. Setting up an appointment was immediate. The arrival process was smooth and the staff is very nice. Everyone had a smile regardless of the masks on their faces. Very nice vibe and Mom was very happy with the Dr Shakiba. He made her feel very comfortable and secure about any of the recommendations. Thank you so much, it means a lot to me to have Mom with the right care.
Agnes was extremely helpful on the phone, giving me all the information I needed to schedule an appointment. Everyone in the office was very helpful, and they really take the time to make sure you understand everything. Joanne went over the details and made the reality of needing this surgery a little less overwhelming. I left the office feeling confident in the Dr and our plan.
Dr Shakiba as well as Loren and Gaelyn are wonderful. I can not stress enough that aside from being caring….they really do everything to help and resolve medical issues. My treatments have been incredibly successful. Highly recommend this practice.
That staff is really great!! The Doctor is Excellent 100 X 100 recommended! A week after that surgery I feel very good, no pain , no discomfort. Thank you Dr Shakiba and staff.
I have been sent from dr to specialist to specialist and finally found Dr. Shakiba. A nerve specialist in the endometriosis world ! I have my surgery coming in two weeks to remove two cysts and clean up endometriosis which is causing me a lot of pain. I’m am going into surgery confident and looking forward to a more comfortable life and making babies !! Very thankful to have found this office. The staff is lovely — especially Joanie. Very helpful! Highly recommend this team.
I am so grateful for this practice and everyone who has helped me! Dr. Shakiba and team are AMAZING! I cannot recommend this practice enough. Thank you 1000 times!
I had my first appointment with Dr. Shakiba today and he and his staff were professional and took time to ensure I understood my options.
Dr. Shakiba is what all doctors should be like. On my first visit, after examining me, he took the time to thoroughly explain to me and my husband what I was suffering from and then he explained in detail what my options were. I feel so much better after my surgery last Aug. 10. Dr. Shakiba is an excellent surgeon and his bedside manner is second to none. I would recommend him without any hesitation. Dr. Shakiba deserves 10 stars for “Super Excellent”.
Great Dr, and also great customer service. Dr, Shakiba answered all my questions, was very kind and with so much empathy for the patient; unfortunately he does not operate on men, but if he did, he would be my first choice. Thank you so much.
Dr. Shakiba is a great physician. He is always pleasant and has a good bedside manner. He explains things and always has someone in the room for your comfort. I understand doctors are very busy and see many patients daily. I was a teacher and had many students but I always followed up and knew who they were. I’ve often felt he has no idea who I am. I do believe at the moment he does because I recently had septicemia. Let me make it very clear he had nothing to do with my septicemia. But when I called and explained what happened to the PA the very next visit he seemed more familiar with my case. I felt like he knew exactly who I was for the first time. It felt like a really good visit. Patients want their doctors to know who they are.
The whole group at women’s pelvic surgery are amazing, everyone there is so kind and so professional. Dr. shakiba is one of a kind I’ve been going to him for a couple years now and I would never go anywhere else. He did my surgery he help diagnose what was going on with me when no one else could. Dr. shakiba is an amazing doctor and I highly recommend him.
Very pleasant office staff and finally felt heard by a doctor regarding pelvic painLeft the office with a clear plan and vision of how to improve my health, both non surgically and surgically
We were so fortunate to have found Dr. Shakiba for our 93-year-old mother. He has been the answer to our prayers. Without going into great detail, I will say that my mother has what is considered a relatively minor condition that was not managed well by another doctor, being that she wound up in the hospital with sepsis. Thanks to Dr. Shakiba, both her quality of life and independence have been restored to some degree. Dr. Shakiba spent a good deal of time with her and also very clearly and patiently discussed with me and, on other visits, with my sister exactly what the situation was and what he would be doing. My mom, my sister and I are relieved and grateful that my mom is now in his capable hands. Jess and the rest of the staff are wonderful as well. Five stars all around.
My visit was timely, the office waiting room was not crowded (which usually indicates too many appointments scheduled), and professional. Dr. Shakiba and his staff was awesome. He simplified what my problem was where I could understand it and make the best decision for my situation. I can understand why his other patients gave him such great reviews.
Dr. Shakiba has an incredibly amazing depth of medical knowledge across different specializations that he is able to draw from at any given moment. He has the quick capacity to synthesized his data base to apply individualized approaches to help his patients get well. If other doctors have been unable to help, he’s your man. He also has the knack for being a good listener, is able to alleviate any fears or problems a patient may be having over their issues, and is truly caring.
After going to an outrageously expensive doctor in Manhattan for an consultation, I luckily stumbled upon Dr. Shakiba on the internet. I felt very comfortable from the moment I met him and immediately trusted him. I had surgery with him on September 21 excision of endometriosis, myomectomy, and some other things he searched for based on suspicion from his thorough history taking during my pre-op appointment. My symptoms are already better and I am very happy I found him. He is an honest man and does not take advantage of you financially like some doctors in the city. Also want to mention the staff at Hackensack was great.
Excellent, dr my surgery was very nice done. I recommend him 100%
I was very happy with the outcome of my visit. Dr. Shakiba, answered all my questions and concerns. I’m very glad with my visit and the staff is very friendly and very super nice. There should be more Doctors like Dr. Shakiba that has the patience in explaining procedures. I definitely recommend Dr. Shakiba.
After being diagnosed with large uterine fibroids several years ago I put off addressing the issue until the symptoms worsened at which point I knew I needed to consult with a specialist. Upon meeting Dr. Shakiba I immediately felt at ease and after the consultation knew I could put my trust in him despite being very anxious about having surgery. Four months post surgery I am thankful every day that I decided to go ahead with surgery and chose Dr. Shakiba to perform it. I hadn’t realized the extent to which the fibroids had impacted my quality of life. My only regret is not finding Dr. Shakiba sooner. I recommend without hesitation.
Dr. Shakiba is very knowledgeable and invested in helping his patients. I have never felt rushed and the office is very clean and modern. The appt process is very well organized. Staff is very professional and helpful.
Dr.Shakiba, is such an outstanding surgery, very professional, who cares for the well being of his patients, gives you the best medical treatment and care. very calm personality and knows his Job very well. Over all great team he works with. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Shakiba is an excellent doctor with fantastic bedside manners, too. I trusted him to perform a robotic surgery and the results were amazing. I highly recommend him. His office is very clean and modern and staff is very helpful, too.
I did not have good experience with Dr Shakeeba.He gave me Emsella chair treatment without fully understanding my condition and it did not suit me at all.It gave me intense muscular pain and when I mentioned this to him, he said it was a test !! He is over confident and does not give enough time during the visits. He kept suggesting surgery for me even though it was not reuquired. I switched to another doc who is much better.
Dr. Shakiba was amazing! He took the time to answer my questions. He put me at ease in regards to my upcoming surgery. I would recommend Dr. Shakiba to anyone needing a fibroid removed.
Dr Shakiba and his team are amazing! I came to him after dealing with issues for almost 2 years and being ignored by my obgyn. Its one of the best decisions Ive ever made! He truly listens and cares and his nurses are attentive, kind and gentle. I feel like I finally have my life back! Thank you Dr Shakiba!! You have no idea how much your help has meant to me!
After putting off recommendations for surgery for many years, I finally decided to seek a second opinion for a hysterectomy. I found Dr. Shakiba while searching the internet, for an experienced and knowledgeable doctor. Previous reviews and opinions also helped me to make my choice. My first appointment with Dr. Shakiba was very informative; he took the time to go over the details of my condition as well as options that were best for me. I felt at ease after his thorough explanations, honest and knowledgeable responses to all me questions. I knew immediately he was the doctor for me. He is truly the best of the best. He is an excellent surgeon with great bedside manner, and takes great care of his patients throughout every step of the way. Dr. Shakiba is one in million!! You can trust his advice and knowledge. Do not hesitate to choose this doctor along with his kind and caring staff members. Thank you Dr. Shakiba!
Dr. Shakiba is very skilled in his craft. He is very knowledgeable with a warm bedside manner. I told him today God Bless your hands as he showed me a video of the surgery I had and explained to me exactly what was corrected in laymans terms. I also got pretty sick after the surgery due to be sensitive to anesthesia and he was able to be reached off hours to help. If your considering making an appt., in my experience he is top notch!
Reviews were great which lead me to making an appointment for my mother.We arrived early to the appointment and was seen soon after. She was examined, a diagnosis given and a solution provided.The solution provided was a bit confusing which lead me to questions and received more of a confusing answer. The conversation was going so quickly I felt they were in a rush or just wanted the office visit to be over.With that being said, we left feeling as if my mothers insurance was not good enough to be accepted or possibly our race was an issue. I have interacted with many doctors in my lifetime due to my mothers health condition but we have never felt the way we did when we left Dr Shakibas office.My elderly mom was so bothered by the visit that she called the office the next day for a better explanation. My mom spoke to Joani who then got involved to justify the confusion. She thoroughly explained the misunderstanding as the doctor had claimed it was.There was definitely a misunderstanding but only because the solution to the problem was not explained correctly by the Dr and staff in the room at that time.This is an unfortunate situation and therfore we will not be returning for future visits, surgery or treatments.Thank you Joani for your help with this matter!
I have been a patient of Dr Shakiba for about one year with several office visits and a surgery, I have been pleased by his pleasant manners, answering all my questions. All his staff are one of a kind. Excellent.
Dr. Shakiba and Dr. Kolesnikova are wonderful doctors. They are very knowledgeable and care about you as a patient. The entire team is very helpful. Would definitely recommend the practice to friends and family.
Dr. khashaya Shakiba is the best surgeon the 🌎 world has to offerI was so afraid of getting a surgercal procedure done, but when I went in for my first visit .upon him reading my ultrasound and examing me.he explained to me the procedure that was best for me .I had fibroid and would bleed for even 15 days.

Had my 6 week post op visit, I feel great, so much better and so happy to have found Dr. Shakiba. On our first appointment about 3 months ago I had just gone through the most painful menstrual cycle yet, and looking for surgical solutions to remove a fibroid that had been incorrectly treated by other doctors in the past, it unfortunately grew to 14.9cm within my uterus. The pain and discomfort it was causing me, especially during my cycle had become unbearable, thankfully I met Dr. Shakiba and we put a plan together for my myomectomy. Its been 6 weeks now and I am so happy with the results. Thank you! :)
Minimal wait time. STAFF was courteous and very helpful. Dr. Shakiba was excellent as usual. Easy to talk to and answered all my questions throughly.
First time seeing Dr Shakiba for an existing problem. In a nutshell he diagnosed my problem, showed me using a computer what was going on and then also figured out what caused the situation. Wonderful bedside manner
Dr. Shakiba is such a knowledgeable, caring, and friendly doctor. He is very thorough in his testing and diagnoses, helps me with medications as necessary, etc. There is no better OBGYN for me than Dr. Shakiba.
Dr. Shakiba has been a pivotal health care provider in restoring my health. From proper diagnosis, to successful robotic surgery and giving me confidence in my recovery. I am very thankful for him, his staff and Hackensack University Medical Center.
Dr. Shakiba was recommended to me by my main gyno, Dr. Mazzone (shes great btw). My experience with Shakiba himself is great, but my experience with his staff was...not so great. Let me explain.I called his office and asked the receptionist if my insurance would take him and she said yes, so off I went. I got to his office and waited for my appointment for about an hour, but thats fine because doctors are busy people and he was caught up with a patient. After looking at a few of my files, we set up an appointment to for a Hysteroscopy and possibly shave down an intrauterine septum. The day of the procedure, however, I was told to come in rather early. This resulted in me waiting for 5 hours. This is more of a communication problem between the receptionist rather than Dr. Shakiba himself, though. Later on Im told that, as a precaution, Dr. Shakiba recommended to do a Laproscopy in the case that he may need to due to any complications. The procedure goes well (and for any of those wondering, we didnt have to do the Laproscopy). Side effects I had after my surgery was bloating and spotting, and that lasted for about 2 days. Overall, it went well. Time passes and I get a bill in the mail from Dr. Shakibas office saying that, contrary to what the receptionist told me, they are not under my insurance plan. Basically, the letter says theres a recommended lesser amount to pay, and if that amount is not accepted by the doctor, you have to pay the larger amount. Dr. Shakiba accepted the lesser amount.Now, Dr. Shakiba is a great doctor and actually followed up with me about any grievances that I had. Its clear he is knowledgable and is a careful surgeon. My main complaints would be with the staff that told me he was under my insurance plan, and whom caused me to wait for 5 hours for my procedure. Dr. Shakiba does his best to clear up any situation and such, so hats off to him. I read in an earlier review that his staff has the tendency to overbook him and whatnot. But again, the doctor himself is great and quite helpful.
Dr Shakiba is an experienced and professional physician who listens to his patients and provides clear explanations. He and his office staff were prompt in providing answering and solutions to all my needs. I had a Mid Uretral Sling RePlacement yesterday and I am home today and feeling great. Thanks to Joannie, Surgical Coordinator for her patience and for her answering all my 100 questions.
Dr. Shakiba spent the time necessary to go over all of my surgical options. He provided pros and cons of each option, while making me feel at ease with whatever option I choose. He didn’t rush through anything and made sure I was thoroughly informed and that I had enough information to feel comfortable in making my decision.
I was referred to Dr Shakiba from my own GYN. He did not disappoint. His staff is friendly as is he. And he did everything to accommodate my situation in a timely manner. I highly recommend him.
I’m so thankful that I found this excellent specialist. He was able to help me immediately with my very uncomfortable situation. Most importantly though , is that he listened carefully to my long story ; I have rarely experienced that with other providers He is very knowledgeable & skilled physician with good technique with exam & procedures. The visit was very comfortable & reassuring which I seriously needed at that time as my problem caused me great emotional upset distress. I would highly recommend Dr Shakiba to care for urogynecological issue.
