Dr. Jeffrey Sternberg graduated magna cum laude/Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College after which he completed medical school at the University of Chicago. He trained in general surgery at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and also completed a fellowship in Surgical Nutrition at Harvard. He first encountered the cleft-lift approach for pilonidal disease during his colon and rectal surgery fellowship at the University of Minnesota, and deepened this understanding of the technique with John and Tom Bascom in 2001. Since then, they have partnered to further evolve the technique. Dr. Sternberg now specializes in patients with challenging recurrences, treating over 1500 individuals and has a less than 1% recurrence rate and has been able to fix those who have recurred. Patients now travel from all over the United States, Canada, and elsewhere to San Francisco with challenging pilonidal problems for his care.
