My son (24) had surgery to remove a pilonidal cyst in 2017 at an HMO which was a nightmare from the beginning. It had taken four months to properly diagnose the problem, and the surgeon there had stapled the site of the removed cyst which was terribly painful when removed; and my son had anContinue reading “‘We got our son back’”
Dr. Sternberg and his team are phenomenal in my opinion. I went in for a pilonidal operation. From first consultation to surgery I felt comfortable and well-informed about the whole process. Dr. Sternberg and team did a great job with my surgery. I was especially impressed with all the follow up check-ins afterwards, to ensureContinue reading “A Comfortable and Well-Informed Patient”
Do I have a Pilonidal Cyst? I’m a woman. I thought that only guys got Pilonidal Disease? That’s a common theory we hear from patients at The Sternberg Clinic for Pilonidal Surgery, but it’s not true. While men are more likely to acquire Pilonidal Disease, women make up a large percentage of the population ofContinue reading “I’m a Woman. I can’t have Pilonidal ‘Cyst’, right?”
I went through Dr. Sternberg’s pilonidal cyst surgery over two years ago and I am very happy I made that decision. I was dealing with the issue for months. I went to Kaiser initially to see if they could remove it, but their suggested surgery required making a very deep cut, the recovery time wasContinue reading “‘I don’t know why other doctors do not do this surgery’”
Our 19 year old son suffered for the years after a failed Pilonidal Surgery in San Diego. He was left with an open wound that required daily care, his quality of life was totally compromised, he had to leave University on the East Coast and transfer to a University in San Diego so he couldContinue reading “‘Dr. Sternberg is confident, kind and has great empathy for his patients struggling with Pilonidal Disease’”
I had the pilonidal surgery over 10 years ago and I still have no signs of the cyst coming back. If I could remember, I was up and around 3-4 days after surgery and returned to all my activities within the month. I’m very grateful to Dr. Sternberg and his team. \Pro tip: Do bridgeContinue reading “‘Great doctor, great treatment’”
Dr. Sternberg, without question, is one of the top experts (if not the best) in treating pilonidal disease in the world. Since my freshman year of high school, I repeatedly struggled to combat the seemingly undefeatable pilonidal disease. I first had surgery with a plastic surgeon in Pennsylvania and had laser hair removal treatment inContinue reading “‘The Cleft Lift procedure he performs is definitely at the cutting edge of his field’”
We traveled from Orlando Florida to San Francisco to have surgery with Dr. Sternberg for my son. I simply wish we went to him first. The surgeon that performed the first excision left my son with a very large and deep wound. My son suffered for 10 months after his first surgery. We went toContinue reading “‘I can not explain to you the sense of reassurance, and relief that both my son and I felt’”
My experience with Dr. Sternberg and his staff was the most amazing medical experience I have ever been a part of. I had been suffering from pilonidal disease for 4 years with no where to turn. My first pilonidal surgery done here in Florida by a different surgeon failed and I was left with 2Continue reading “‘Do not go through multiple surgeries that can make your life miserable’”
I had surgery with Dr. Sternberg to fix a pilonidal cyst about 9 years ago. I was around 15 or 16 at the time. Let me start the review by saying, in the strongest possible terms: If you have pilonidal disease, get treated by Dr. Sternberg. Stop looking at other physicians or other treatments orContinue reading “‘Do not go to anyone else. You will thank yourself later’”
