About Dr. Mohammad Hadi Shakibi, kidney transplant fellow in Mashhad

After his urology residency, Dr. Shakibi completed a fellowship in kidney transplantation, the advanced training that qualifies a urologic surgeon to evaluate recipients and donors, perform the transplant and manage care after it. A large part of his practice is therefore patients with advanced kidney failure and their families, either deciding on a transplant or in follow-up after one. Alongside transplantation, his main areas are prostate surgery (TURP and radical prostatectomy), laparoscopic kidney surgery, percutaneous stone removal (PCNL), urologic cancers and male infertility.

Services and surgeries

The table summarises the conditions Dr. Shakibi treats and the methods used for each group. The final choice of treatment always follows an examination and a review of your tests and imaging.

Kidney transplantation: from evaluation to aftercare

A transplant is the best treatment for many patients with advanced kidney failure and offers a better quality of life than dialysis. A transplant-trained surgeon accompanies the patient in three stages: before (assessing the recipient, compatibility testing and evaluating a living donor or registering on the waiting list), during (the operation) and after (monitoring creatinine, adjusting immunosuppressants and recognising early signs of rejection). If you are at the decision stage, reading the guides on kidney transplantation: cost, conditions and the operation, tests before a kidney transplant and signs of transplant rejection before your visit will make the consultation more useful.

Prostate surgery: TURP and radical prostatectomy

In benign prostatic enlargement, when medication no longer controls the obstructive symptoms (frequency, night-time urination, incomplete emptying), TURP, removing the excess prostate tissue through the urethra without a skin incision, is the standard treatment and usually needs only a short hospital stay. In prostate cancer confined to the gland, radical prostatectomy (removal of the whole prostate) is one of the definitive treatments Dr. Shakibi performs. See the guide to benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer treatments and PSA after prostate surgery, or go straight to prostate treatment in Mashhad.

Laparoscopic kidney surgery and PCNL

In laparoscopic surgery, kidney removal or surgery for kidney cysts and tumours is done through a few small incisions, which means less pain, a shorter stay and a faster return to daily life. For large kidney stones (usually over two centimetres) or staghorn stones that extracorporeal lithotripsy cannot clear, PCNL breaks up and removes the stone through a single small opening in the back. The articles on laparoscopic surgery for kidney cysts and surgery for large kidney stones explain these methods in detail.

Dr. Shakibi's offices in Mashhad and working hours

Dr. Shakibi keeps two offices so that patients in the west of the city (Ghasemabad) and the centre (Ahmadabad) have a shorter journey. The days and hours below are the usual schedule; always book by phone before visiting.

Booking a phone appointment with Dr. Shakibi

Online booking is not available for this doctor; appointments are made only by calling the office. The steps are simple:

1. During working hours call the office closer to you and briefly state the reason for the visit (for example "kidney transplant consultation" or "enlarged prostate") so the secretary can book the right slot.
2. Bring your recent tests (creatinine, PSA, urinalysis), ultrasound or CT scans, your list of medicines and any referral letter; they shorten the time to a diagnosis.
3. Dialysis and transplant patients should bring their records and the latest kidney test results.
4. For severe flank pain with fever, inability to pass urine or bleeding, go to the nearest hospital emergency department instead of waiting for an appointment.

Visit fee and insurance

Specialist and fellowship visit fees follow the annual tariff of the Iranian Medical Council and may change each year; ask the office about the exact amount and whether basic insurance is accepted when you book. If you have supplementary insurance, keep the office's official invoice so you can claim the visit and treatment costs back.
