hey guys i haven't logged in for a while with havin the surgery and all. For anyone who can get to Worcester Mass. I highly recommend Dr. Donald Czerniach he is a general and laparoscopic surgeon. He does alot of cystectomies(if that's how you spell it). I was so scared becuase it was my fisrt surgery ever but everything turned out great!! He did an open surgery (he does not recommend closed) and he was really educated in pilonidal cysts;he has done alot of them. he kept the inscision as small as he could and everthing has gone great. the pain was nothing compared to an inflamation. i was out and about in 3 days(only because of the anesthesia, i could have gone right back to work but, doctors orders). Tel# 508-334-6406

Does anyone have any good recomendations for Boston. I'm sure there are a few good Doctors in the area with all of the top notch hospitals around. I sure would like to find the best ones. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I just had surgery done by a Dr. Murray at Lahey Burlington and he seems okay . I also have heard that Dr. Marcello at Lahey Peabody is very good but I had diffculty scheduling an appointment with him. both are in the Colon & Rectal department.

Do they practice the Bascom Techniques?
Is there a "Bascom List" for the Mass / Boston area?
Or better yet, does anyone know a Bascom List Doctor near Cape Cod?
Thanks all

Dr. Tomas Divinagracia is an awesome surgeon. He is a general and vascular surgeon. Being a girl and having one of these cysts was kind of uncomfortable to go see him. He made me feel very comfortable and he has a great sense of humor. He let me do what I felt comfortable with like when I wanted to go back to work and everything. If I ever have to have another surgery for anything and he can do it..I want him to do it.

Hello everyone,
I recently learned that I might have PD. I developed a cyst on my butt about 6 months ago and at that time, the doctor gave me antibiotics to cure it. It worked except that 3 months later the cyst came back. I have had it drained twice and so far, everything looks fine. However, I recently saw a surgeon who said I seem to have a PD. They told me to wait until my cyst flares up again. The interesting thing is I have a slight lump/hard spot on my tail bone that doesn't hurt at all (and it never hurt in the past either). I simply have a cyst/blister on my butt that hurts when it grows. I'm not convinced that it is PD and as a result, I want to get multiple opinions. Can anyone here suggest surgeons, preferable Colon and Rectal certified?

Thanks in advance.

Saw two surgeons in Providence, RI who differed in their treatment for my son, age 15. Read this entire site thoroughly and decided to seek a third opinion, one suggested in the Surgeon Hall of Fame. I called yesterday and got my son in TODAY to see Dr. Masiakov at Mass General. Wonderful man who suggested that my son wash with Hibeclens twice a day and see another surgeon for laser hair removal in the cleft. He feels that the laser procedure along with removing the hair from the sinus, and the twice daily washings will allow the sinus to close on its own. The doc could not have been any nicer.

That was Dr. Peter Masiakos at Mass General. I misspelled his name first time.
