Experience Leads to a CURE!

Not all pilonidal surgeries are created equal. Unfortunately, many patients with pilonidal disease are sent to practices where surgeons perform outdated operations with high recurrence rates—and the results can be devastating. A failed surgery can mean more pain, more time away from life, and even more surgeries in the future. A bad operation can make your condition far worse than it was originally and place your life on hold.

At The Sternberg Clinic, we do things differently. One of the reasons our patients have such excellent outcomes is because we carefully track every single surgery we perform. This isn’t something all surgeons do, but it’s critical for improving care and ensuring that patients get the best results possible.

Our Results Speak for Themselves

In my last 1,250 consecutive pilonidal surgeries using the Cleft Lift Procedure (Pilonidal RAF), our recurrence rate is less than 1%. Compare that to other types of pilonidal surgeries, which often have recurrence rates as high as 30+%. Tracking outcomes confirms that this procedure is not only effective but also reliable over time.

Why are our results so much better?

1. The Cleft Lift/Pilonidal RAF doesn’t just treat the infection—it fixes the root problem: the deep cleft that causes pilonidal disease.

2. Dr. Sternberg’s extensive experience as a specialist allows him to perform the surgery with precision and adapt it to each patient’s unique anatomy.

3. Follow-up care is a priority at The Sternberg Clinic. We work with you every step of the way to ensure a smooth recovery.

Why Don’t All Surgeons Track Outcomes?

The truth is many surgeons don’t track their results because 1) it is difficult and time consuming, and 2) because they aren’t pilonidal specialists and know that their results may be less than ideal. Without this data, it’s impossible to improve care or understand what works and what doesn’t.

When you choose a surgeon who tracks their outcomes, you’re choosing someone who is committed to doing better—for you and for every patient who comes after you.

Don’t Settle for Poor Results

If you’ve already had a pilonidal surgery that didn’t work, you’re not alone. Many of our patients come to us after experiencing a failed operation elsewhere. Thankfully, the Cleft Lift/Pilonidal RAF can offer a second chance and, in most cases, a permanent solution.

The key is finding a surgeon who specializes in this condition and has the experience to do the job right. Traveling to see an expert like Dr. Jeffrey Sternberg is worth it. It’s your life, your health, and your peace of mind.
