At Olde Del Mar Surgical, our mission is to provide state-of-the-art, compassionate surgical care through a multidisciplinary team committed to outcomes, integrity and patient-centered service. Today, we are proud to announce that our surgeons have been honored in the 2025 edition of San Diego Magazine’s annual Top Doctors list, and we are especially pleased to recognize Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul for being selected for the 12th consecutive year.
What the “Top Doctors” List Means:
Every year, San Diego Magazine partners with the San Diego County Medical Society (SDCMS) to identify physicians who are highly regarded by their peers. Nominations and voting are open to all physicians in San Diego County, and each nominee’s current licensure and practice status are confirmed. Only a small portion of physicians in each specialty receive this recognition, making inclusion an important professional distinction.San Diego Magazine
Our Team’s Recognition:
We are delighted to share that several of our surgical team members at Olde Del Mar Surgical were selected for the 2025 Top Doctors list, representing surgical excellence in San Diego across general, bariatric, gastrointestinal and minimally-invasive surgery. Their inclusion underscores our collective commitment to delivering exceptional surgical outcomes and patient experiences.
Spotlight on Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul:
Among those recognized, Dr. Bhoyrul holds a truly outstanding distinction: 12 consecutive years on the Top Doctors list.
- A leader in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery, Dr. Bhoyrul serves as Chief of Surgery at Olde Del Mar Surgical and Medical Director for Bariatric Surgery at a major local hospital.
- His academic training is robust: University of Aberdeen (Scotland) for medical school; fellowship in advanced laparoscopic surgery at UCSF; surgical residency at Stanford University.
- He has published in peer-reviewed journals, co-edited one of the original textbooks in laparoscopic surgery, and performs complex gastrointestinal and bariatric operations, including for pancreatic, gastric and esophageal malignancies.
- Being named a Top Doctor 12 years in a row is a testament to his consistent clinical excellence, peer respect and leadership in the San Diego surgical community.
Why This Matters for Patients:
Recognition like this isn’t just a badge on a website—it reflects enduring performance. What it means for you, the patient:
- You’re choosing a surgical team that is trusted by peers and specialists in the region.
- You’re aligning with a practice that demonstrates stability, ongoing quality improvement and a strong reputation in the community.
- You have access to a surgeon who is not only technically advanced but also academically and clinically accomplished—important in complex surgical care.
Our Commitment to You:
At Olde Del Mar Surgical we continue to invest in:
- Minimally invasive surgical techniques and advanced technologies.
- Comprehensive pre- and post-operative care — ensuring patients are well-prepared, safe and well-supported.
- Transparent communication, patient education and shared decision-making — because your journey matters.
- Lifelong support — especially in our bariatric surgery program — beyond the operation itself.
Invitation:
If you are considering surgical care — whether general, bariatric, or minimally invasive procedures — we invite you to schedule a consultation and see why our team has been distinguished year after year. Our recognition by San Diego Magazine is simply one way to know we aim high. We look forward to partnering with you on your health journey.
