    What Our Patients Say

    Cleft Lift

    "Dr. Rafailov is the best surgeon I've had operate on me. He has the most knowledge on Pilonidal Disease of anyone that I've come across and was able to finally put an end to a string of unsuccessful surgeries performed by other surgeons."

    Adam Nixon

    Cleft Lift

    "Great experience overall. Was finally able to find relief after seeing multiple other doctors and having a previous failed surgery. Dr. Rafailov was very knowledgeable and kind. Surgery went without issue and was successful, without major pain."

    VNA 818

    Cleft Lift

    "Overall, I had a wonderful experience before, during, and after the procedure with Dr. Rafailov and his staff! Everyone was extremely nice and more than willing to help me in any way they could. I definitely recommend them if you need this procedure."

    Kailee

    Pilonidal Disease

    "I truly hope that everyone who is looking for a specialist is lucky enough to find Dr. Rafailov. When I first reached out to him via his website because I had questions regarding pilonidal disease, not only did he answer almost immediately but he was incredibly thorough and compassionate."

    Fernanda Perez

    Cleft Lift

    "Echoing many of the same sentiments on here, my situation is not unique. Been suffering with the pain and chronic infection of pilonidal disease for about ten years. None of my local surgeons could offer me anything else other than open excision. Dr. Rafailov and his team put me at ease and my recovery is going well."

    Terry Pushinsky

    Cleft Lift

    "Dr. Rafailov did my Cleft lift surgery and it went perfectly. The recovery was easy and I felt supported every step of the way."

    Mitchell Martin

    Cleft Lift

    "Dr. Rafailov and his entire staff were amazing to work with for my wife's pilonidal cyst cleft lift. From prompt communication to expertise guiding us through the process, our minds were put at ease both going into the surgery and throughout recovery."

    Joseph Sebest

    Cleft Lift

    "It's been almost a year since my cleft lift and just came back today for a check up with Dr. Rafailov due to some soreness related to pregnancy and wanted to get it checked out! They were able to get me in in no time! His team has always been wonderful."

    Bailey Cucinotta

    Cleft Lift

    "Without exaggeration, visiting Dr. Rafailov's office was life-changing. I had been suffering from pilonidal disease for nine years and had already undergone a previous surgery with a different provider that did nothing to correct the issue."
