Dr. Jeffrey A. Sternberg, founder of The Sternberg Clinic in San Francisco, has been named a 2025 Castle Connolly Top Doctor for the 14th consecutive year, distinguishing himself among the top 7% of U.S. physicians. His recognition stems from exceptional clinical excellence and specialized expertise in treating complex colorectal conditions, particularly pilonidal disease.

His academic credentials include graduating magna cum laude from Dartmouth College and completing advanced training at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

For Dr. Sternberg, this repeated honor underscores his commitment to innovative, patient-centered surgical care.
