Dr. Rajeev Bashetty was very polite *** *************. He listened carefully and provided great solutions. He also did a quick USG and accurately identified the problems, making it an amazing experience.

The doctor was not present during the appointment; instead, an assistant doctor attended, but the full fee was still charged.

Dr. Rajeev Bashetty listened patiently and clearly explained my condition and treatment options. He also gave helpful advice on diet and prevention. This was my second visit, and I consider him one of the best.

Dr. Rajeev is a highly attentive and empathetic doctor who takes the time to carefully listen to his patients. He creates a comfortable environment for patients to openly discuss their medical issues, ensuring that they feel heard and understood. Dr. Rajeev is skilled at explaining complex medical topics in an easy-to-understand manner, offering clear insights into the root causes of conditions.

Issue:

For the past 5-6 months, I had been experiencing restricted movement of the foreskin, which made retraction difficult. Initially, about 60-70% of the foreskin could retract, but over the last 1-2 months, this restriction worsened, and I could only retract about 5-10% of it.

Why Treatment Was Needed:

Improved Hygiene

Reduced Risk of Infection and Bacterial Growth

Better Sexual Health

Before Treatment:

1. First Visit – MatoShree Clinic

I explained my problem to Dr. Rajeev, who took the time to discuss the potential causes, symptoms, and treatment options with me. After examining the issue, he recommended Stapler Circumcision and thoroughly explained the procedure, including the steps to follow during recovery.

2. Second Visit – Manipal Hospital, Varthur

I visited Manipal Hospital for a second opinion. While the doctor briefly discussed my concerns, I found the experience less helpful. The hospital charged an additional registration fee, which seemed unnecessary, and the consultation itself did not address all of my queries in detail.

During Treatment:

Once I decided to proceed with Dr. Rajeev’s recommended treatment, the Stapler Circumcision procedure was performed smoothly. The entire process took about 15-20 minutes. Local anesthesia was applied, and I rested for a couple of hours afterward to allow the anesthesia to wear off. Initially, there was some discomfort, which was entirely normal.

A TPA (Third-Party Administrator) was present to assist with the medical insurance and cashless claim process, making the overall experience smooth and hassle-free.

Post-Treatment:

1. First 2 Days

After the procedure, I had to wear a dressing for the first two days. The tip of my penis was sensitive to the touch of clothing, so I wore a lungi to avoid irritation. During this period, even a light touch caused a mild tickling sensation.

2. After Dressing Removal (Day 3 onwards)

Once the dressing was removed, a stapler ring was visible around the head of the penis to help the skin heal. As per Dr. Rajeev’s advice, I cleaned the area three times a day using a water-soaked cloth, wore loose clothing (mostly lungis), and avoided using soap around the treated area. I also refrained from riding a bike and engaging in strenuous activities for the first two weeks.

There was a mild discomfort when erections occurred, as they put slight pressure on the stapler, but this discomfort subsided within 2-3 days as the new skin began to form.

3. Week 1

By Day 7, I noticed a significant improvement. Walking became easier, and the sensitivity around the treated area was greatly reduced. The stapler ring began to naturally loosen, and a portion of it fell off.

4. Week 2

By Day 14, only a small portion of the stapler ring remained. At this point, I was able to drive a scooty, though I still avoided any strenuous activity. I returned to my normal routine, including going to the office, while continuing to wear loose clothing.

5. Week 3 (Day 20)

After about 20 days, the stapler had completely fallen off. There was no discomfort whatsoever. During my final visit to Dr. Rajeev, he examined the area and confirmed that the healing was progressing well. The procedure was a success, and the skin had fully recovered.

Final Thoughts:

The entire process was smooth and well-managed, thanks to Dr. Rajeev's expertise and careful attention. I am now experiencing better hygiene, reduced sensitivity, and improved sexual health. I highly recommend Dr. Rajeev for anyone facing similar issues. His approach is thorough, and he ensures that you are well-informed and comfortable throughout the treatment journey.

Dr. Rajeev is the kindest doctor on the planet I have ever met in my life. I have already recommended him to so many people in my network. I do not really give 5 stars to anyone unless they deserve. But this guy and his clinic deserves 6 stars. I heard somewhere that doctors are the incarnation of God and now a days nobody will agree upon it. But you know what, I blindly trusted him to anything that he said during my 1 month treatment with him because of the confidence and support he has provided and I must say he is an incarnation of God because of the good deeds that he has been doing in this real world. Now coming to my treatment, I had in total of 4 stones - 2 of them were stuck in the right ureter about 10 mm each, one in the right kidney of 5 mm and one in the left kidney approx 10 mm. I initially consulted him on 19th Jul when I got to know about the stones post severe pain and he advised me then to undergo URS followed by ESWL at his clinic. Then, a lot of my known friends and relatives asked me to undergo homeopathy, Ayurveda as they were effective plus I did not have a life threatening situation to undergo surgery. I took a call of avoiding the surgery and underwent the treatment with first homeopathy and the Ayurveda. After a month of no relief, there was almost no improvement (along with repeated tests of ultrasound and X-ray), I finally met Dr. Rajeev again and he still had a smile on his face and communicated the same procedure (URS for calculi in the ureter) and then ESWL in the left kidney stone after couple of weeks. He gave me confidence that it is completely a safe procedure with minimal discomfort. And in the next two days, I underwent URS at Narayana Multispeciality hospital with Rajeev being the surgeon. Let me tell you, the procedure went really smooth and in a day, I was all good. Then it was turn of ESWL procedure at his clinic. He told me to break both the stones in the two kidneys at the cost of one (Rs. 25,000). Have you heard of doing that from a doctor? I mean what else could you expect from a doctor? He could have charged me 50K but he did not. ESWL procedure went extremely well in just one sitting and he was able to break 10 mm stone into fragments. I was able to pass them in urine in the next two weeks while doing skipping, jogging and fortunately after ultrasound, there was no kidney stone found in the right kidney as well! Which means ESWL sitting was not required anymore. Finally, after one month of URS surgery, it was time to get the two DJ stents removed. I was little scared about this as I have heard reviews from people globally that it is a moderately painful procedure and next 2-3 days are horrendous. But again, this man gave me immense confidence that I would not even feel anything during the procedure and post. Again, as he said, I was given strong sedation, and when I woke up after the stent removal procedure, I had just slight discomfort (not pain) for a few mins and then all good! I was discharged the same day from the hospital and today is the next day and I Already feel that nothing ever happened to me! I would like to share one more incident with him - Both of us share similar hobby, me being a travel photographer and he is a wildlife photographer. We chatted and shared our moments of joy during the 50 mins of ESWL session and it felt like I was just treated for 10 mins and doctor had already done the fabulous job of breaking the stones during ultra shock therapy! He has asked me to join him in his next wildlife sanctuary visit and I am looking forward to it. He has world class device at his clinic and this guy will be the finest and kindest of the doctors that you will ever meet in your life, so if you have kidney stones related issues, stop doing anything else and just go, meet him and get relief from this pain.I do not give detailed feedback but the world needs to know (not just Bangalore) A big thanks to the doctor and wish you all the best and success.

Your fan,

A Heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Rajeev.

*** ****** ** ***** *** **** ****** **** **** **** My father, who is now 74 years old and has age-related diabetes and high blood pressure, was advised two years ago to undergo TURP surgery. However, under Dr. Rajeev’s care and medication, his condition was managed so effectively that surgery was not required at the time.

Recently, my father’s prostate condition worsened—the size had doubled and his symptoms became more severe. Given his age and other health complications, it became a critical concern. We returned to Dr. Rajeev, and he immediately took charge of the situation. With his timely and precise medical intervention, my father was prepared for surgery within days.

To our amazement, just three days after the procedure, my father was back to feeling normal. I still can’t believe how smooth the recovery was.

Words aren’t enough to express our gratitude to Dr. Rajeev. His genuine care, calm presence, and reassuring counseling gave us hope and strength during a very difficult time. He is not only an excellent doctor but a truly remarkable human being—compassionate, grounded, and committed.

Thank you, sir, for everything you have done for my father and our family. Your kindness and dedication will always be remembered. *** *** * **** *** ** ******* ****** Please accept our deepest gratitude.

About Lithotripsy : As it is with all clinical matter today, you got to be very careful when you choose some treatment. I had a very bad experience with one of the lithotripsy centre in Bangalore (Hitech Kidney Stone Centre), the process was done without presence of any urologist and with an out dated bad Lithotripter. My stone was of 9mm and after two sitting of the lithotripsy there was no change in size, but that pushed the stone in a very uncomfortable position. But the person who was doing the procedure kept on telling its broken (basically he was lying).

And then I went to Matoshree for another Lithotripsy and felt the difference. This time Dr Rajeev Bashetty, who is a renowned urologist, himself did the procedure and with great care and the machine they are using is world-class. The process was much easier, very less pain than the previous one. And as a result the Stone was broken into a 4 mm stone in the only sitting he had done. To Compare more, the first clinic I visited, he just started the machine and was on his own playing with mobiles and doing other stuffs around, but here Dr Rajeev kept his eye on the monitor throughout the process and adjusting the lithotripter when and it was needed. The only time he had to go out of the treatment room he stopped the machine and came back in a minute. I found them extremely professional and caring.

Last but not the least, Matoshree still don’t have the collaboration with insurance, but most of the insurance companies has post procedure coverage facility and you can always do that as Matoshree provides all the required document after your procedure.
