I had a cleft lift done by Dr. Sternberg in September of this year. I flew to San Fransisco all the way from Canada because of his stellar reputation and how helpful his staff had been to me even just on the phone as I navigated the difficulties of living with pilonidal. Even though I had to pay out of pocket and give up (free) surgery in Canada, it was worth every penny to access care that would allow me to return to my highly active lifestyle and career as a forest firefighter and muay thai athlete. I couldn’t believe how little pain I experienced during my recovery and how fast it went, when I had read of others spending months in agony only to have their pilonidal return. Thank you Dr. Sternberg for solving my pilonidal disease once and for all! It was such a relief to receive the treatment that you and all your wonderful staff gave me!
