How It Began

About the Pilonidal Podcast

The Pilonidal Podcast came about after Dr. Lopez visited Dr. Immerman in Wisconsin and was able to spend two days there — both in the clinic and the operating room. He jokingly told Dr. Immerman that maybe one day they could start a podcast.

After giving it much more thought, Dr. Lopez felt it would be a great way to get information out to those who need it. Dr. Immerman agreed to co-host. Together, they hope to inform and educate anyone who may be dealing with or is interested in pilonidal disease.
