Pilonidal Cyst Treatment in West Hollywood
West Hollywood patients don’t have to live with the pain of pilonidal disease — the Pilonidal Institute is right in our neighborhood — our office sits on the WeHo border, offering the most advanced treatment available anywhere. Dr. Yosef Nasseri and Dr. Moshe Barnajian have perfected an outpatient flap-based procedure with a near-zero recurrence rate — so you can stop managing the pain and permanently end it.
Expert Pilonidal Care for West Hollywood Residents
From the Sunset Strip to the Design District — and across the Sunset Strip, Norma Triangle, and the Design District — we’ve treated patients from every corner of West Hollywood (90046, 90048, 90069) who arrived exhausted by the cycle of painful flare-ups, drainage, and temporary fixes. The pain of pilonidal disease is real: a deep, throbbing pressure at the tailbone that makes sitting at a desk, driving, or working out feel impossible.
At the Pilonidal Institute, West Hollywood patients see two board-certified colorectal surgeons based at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers who treat pilonidal disease every week. Whether you need urgent relief from an infected abscess or a permanent surgical cure, you’ll get a clear plan — usually starting the same week you call.
Our signature flap-based technique removes the entire cyst and sinus tract, closes the wound with a cosmetically favorable midline scar, and carries a near-zero recurrence rate. The procedure is outpatient: most patients are home within hours and back to their West Hollywood routine quickly.
