Dr. Clifford Deal in Richmond VA is wonderful!!! I found him on these forums and saw him for a 2nd opinion after seeing another area surgeon who wanted to do a closed excision - I knew from lurking on Pilonidal.org for so many years that a cleft lift had a much higher success rate, and the first doc I consulted didn't do them. Dr. Deal thought I was a candidate for the lower option - a pit picking - and successfully performed mine 3 months ago with the caveat that if it wasn't successful, we'd do a cleft lift. 3 months later, things are still looking great! Dr. Deal has a great team, great bedside manner, and seems to truly have his patients' well-being at heart. Highly recommended!!

I'm in a England, West London.
My surgeon was Ms Ijaz. Mount Vernon/hillingdon hospital.
Absolutely fanstastic. Still checks in on me over a month later (very big wound) and explained and answered any query or worrisome question I had. Makes you feel very comfortable and at ease
