" After watching my son suffer from Pilonidal Disease and being on antibiotics for almost 2 years, we were SO grateful to have found the FB Pilonidal Disease group which pointed us to Dr. Shrager and the Pilonidal Treatment Center of NJ. Dr. Shrager's team regularly communicated and booked him for surgery as soon as possible while accommodating his college schedule. Dr. Shrager was informative, positive, compassionate, and an incredibly competent surgeon! My son is now just 3 weeks post-Cleft Lift surgery. He has no pain and is finally free of his pilonidal cysts. Thank you Dr. Shrager! "

" These reviews are how I ended up finding Dr. Shrager. After over 6 years of dealing with this and having multiple failed surgeries I had almost given up until I found PTCNJ.
Upon reaching out, Maria was extremely helpful with answering my questions and getting my consultation scheduled. After meeting with Dr. Shrager I knew this was the best option of treatment for me. I finally feel like I can put this thing behind me and live my life fully.
Thank you to the team at PTCNJ and if anyone is struggling with Pilonidal treatment, this is the place you need to be! "

" Finally my incision has healed and I couldn’t be happier.
I wanted to share my experience with pilonidal disease and cleft lift with this group. I was diagnosed with pilonidal disease in 2015 when I was still in India at that time I got a drainage done. I was doing fine until January 2018 when I had my first recurrence but by that time I had moved to the US. I was a student then so I used the antibiotics given by my Indian doctor and that helped me.
After that another recurrence happened in November 2019 and that time I was in a lot of pain. Again I used antibiotics to get the abscess out. Then again I got laser surgery in January 2020 in India from same doctor. And after that I had another recurrence in November 2020 after which it became a monthly thing. My whole quality of life got disrupted, I couldn’t do anything and I was really depressed. In Feb 2021 I started looking for a second opinion here in the US and that is when I came across Dr Brian Shrager’s PTCNJ and as it’s name suggest it’s a proper pilonidal treatment center which is so rare. I was lucky that it was nearby only. My first meeting with Dr Shrager gave me so much of information and understanding of this disease that I never knew and that’s when I instantly felt I m at the right place. I didn’t want to immediately go to cleft lift so I asked him if I can first try getting pit picking and see if that can help for some time and he did tell me that it might not be that successful considering I have had this for quite sometime. But anyways we went with pit picking and in my case it failed and it never healed so then I decided to go for cleft lift. I have no regrets at all getting it done. I feel so relieved now that it’s hard to explain. My recovery has been quite time taking but I don’t mind it at all as I am satisfied with the results.
A big shoutout to Dr Shrager and his staff for being so amazing, they were there to help throughout, I used to send multiple emails with numerous questions but they always answered and explained and gave me reassurance.
So anyone who has been suffering from this awful disease please do your research and go to a specialist like Dr Shrager who knows what they are doing and who understands the problem.
Sending healing and positive vibes to all. "

" Dr Shrager and staff are GODS. After a failed surgery in CT, and after finding out thru a Facebook group, I found Dr Shrager. He is so patient and so informative. Totally put me at ease and told me exactly what was needed to be cured from pilonidal disease. Worth the drive to NJ. He follows up and even responded to emails after hours to answer any of my questions. Don't let a general surgeon or Colon and rectal surgeon touch you. Get a specialist like Dr Shrager. My life is back. I'm back. And I'm forever grateful. "
