What other great things can I say about Dr. Bhoyrul that has already been said in other reviews but I will give it a shot. There are many people who have trouble finding their calling but that's clearly not the case with Dr. Bhoyrul. He is the best Gastro doctor and surgeon, period. I was having gastro issues for quite a while and I had seen several other gastroenterologist and none of them could come up with an accurate diagnosis. I did some research and homework and thank god I found Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul. He is extremely professional, caring and an expert at his craft. I am completely indebted to him and his staff as I was in dire need or I would not be here today. His staff, including front office are always a delight to work with and very caring to their patients. Special thank to Kirsten and Kelly. I could just go on and on about how awesome these folks are. Thank you Dr. Bhoyrul and staff! read more

Dr Bhoyrul performed a successful surgical procedure after I was diagnosed with Colon cancer. His expertise in laparoscopic surgery and explanation of the procedure was thorough and made me feel that I made the right physician choice. I knew I was in the care of an accomplished expert surgeon. Dr Bhoyrul has a team that follows you from the preoperative to the post operative. Nurse practitioner Kirsten is a regular presence with a calming caring personality and makes sure your recovery is smooth. I could not have asked for a better experience! read more

Dr. Bhoyrul took my case when every other surgeon I met with said the surgery I needed was not able to be done on me. Case closed until.. I found Dr. Bhoyrul. From the first time that I spoke to him, he always came across so Confident in his ability and gave me the hope of some sort of normalcy that no other surgeon could give me. His patience with my fears was something most surgeons don't seem to have. He under promised and way over delivered and fixed something nobody else would touch!!! I truly believe this man is a true gift from God. It's been 8 weeks now since my surgery with him and I am seeing huge changes in my body that I never thought would ever be possible. Besides all of his incredible skills, his bedside manner and compassion are like none I've ever experienced. If you are able to have surgery with this amazing Dr. consider yourself blessed and do it!!!! Thank you Dr Bhoyrul.. Vikki F. read more

I went in for a routine laparoscopic hernia repair - straight forward repair. I woke up from surgery several hours later screaming with pain, found out I had a catheter and learned that was because he sliced my bladder open. Then when he put the mesh in for the repair, it strangled big nerves leaving me in immense pain for months. He blamed the bladder slicing (which is insane by the way for this type of operation) on "scar tissue" from a hernia repair i had in infancy (note: the surgeon that fixed this disaster said there was no scar tissue... so he also lied to me with a fabricated excuse for his extraordinary incompetence). I finally got it repaired by a world renowned expert at significant expense to me. I lost feeling in that area from his operation and am still experiencing complications. I should have written this long ago. This guy has had a horrible impact on my life and I will probably live with it forever. STAY AWAY! read more

DR. Bhoyrul does NOT care about his patients. I had Gastric Sleeve in 2019 with him and have had several complications/issues after. I have asked for help so many times and he has brushed me off and disregarded my concerns. If he had paid closer attention to my concerns and my endoscopy before I had the sleeve surgery he could have saved me the pain of going through a hernia repair surgery and the trauma of being botched/scarred. I cannot express how frustrated traumatized and angry I am with him. If you are getting any bariatric procedure done I would cancel and go somewhere else. read more

Is there anyone that looks forward to having surgery? No, certainly no one does... and I was no exception ...but then I met Dr. Bhoyrul... he couldn't have been more warm, or more caring. This wonderful man, this skilled surgeon literally changed my life with his surgical precision. I was up and walking in no time after extensive abdominal surgery, doing better and feel better... better than I have in years. He took away my fears, patiently answered my questions, and took excellent care of me, as did Kirsten. I wouldn't hesitate to go back for any type of surgical procedure. I recommend them highly to anybody that's considering surgery. A kind, gentle man, and skilled surgeon. I give him stars! read more

Dr. Bhoyrul is a remarkable physician and surgeon. He see you as a whole person. He is caring, charming, and a brilliant surgeon and thinker. My wife and I interviewed a number of top surgeons. Dr. Bhoyrul was the perfect choice for us. He diagnosed my wife explaining a rare condition that had eluded some of the finest doctors in San Diego. Her surgery was a great success. When I needed surgery, Dr. Bhoyrul was the perfect choice. I recommend his without reservation. He is uniquely gifted. We both feel so fortunate to have found him. read more

Dr Bhoyrul is amazing. My 92 year old Mom was suffering from a bowel obstruction. First in November and again in January 2021. We had done so many tests to determine what was the issue. After 4 days in the hospital Dr Bhoyrul come on the case as we requested a second opinion. Dr Bhoyrul was willing to perform surgery on her in spite of her age and medical condition. Everything was successful and his patient care was so special and nurturing. Thank you for putting a smile back on my Mother's face!!! read more

I needed to get my gallbladder removed and kept trying to avoid it. Things got complicated and I now needed an emergency surgery. I was told about Dr Bhoyrul and I am definitely grateful to have been sent his way. Surgery was a little complicated and I don't even want to think what would of happened if I had gone with someone else. He is an amazing surgeon who knows exactly what he is doing. Not only is he great at what he does, but he makes you feel safe under his care. He is very kind and caring. And I can't forget about his amazing assistant Kirsten. From the moment I met her she has been nothing but great. She is very sweet, straight forward and very professional. Dr Bhoyrul, Kirsten and their staff are amazing. If I could give them more stars I would. read more

Starting with our first appointment, Dr. Bhoyrul showed so much concern for my husband's total health. He has Parkinson's and a heart condition and needed hernia surgery. Dr. Bhoyrul checked with his cardiologist to be sure hernia surgery was safe. We are getting ready to move to Chicago very soon. Dr. Bhoyrul examined him and realized the surgery needed to be done before we leave, and was able to schedule this procedure quickly. He arranged for me to spend the night with Ken because of all his issues. I can't imagine any doctor doing more for a patient!! We most highly recommend Dr. Bhoyrul, and feel furtunate that our paths have crossed! read more

My husband has suffered for 5 years in debilitating pain. No one after numerous tests wanted to go in and look. He had scar tissue that was causing the pain. Dr. Bhoyrul was the most caring and sincere Dr. you could ask for. I literally had tears in my eyes when he wanted to go in and look. I can't begin to tell you how grateful we are! there are no words. Thank you so much! Steve and Debbie DeFrain read more

Dr. Bhoyrul is an excellent doctor and amazing surgeon. He cares about the total health and well being of his patients, not just fixing a problem. His team at Olde Del Mar Surgical are as professional and caring as he is. During my stay in the hospital, several nurses and other doctors told me they trusted Dr. Bhoyrul and recommended him for their family member's surgery. I would recommend Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul to my friends and family, too. In addition to being highly skilled and knowledgeable, he is caring, and compassionate. read more

Dr. Bhoyrul is amazing! He is not only an expert surgeon, but he is extremely personable and caring. All of the doctors and staff at Old Del Mar Surgical treat patients with great respect. I had confidence in Dr. Bhoyrul's skills as a surgeon, which was well placed, despite me having a rare condition. I have minimal scarring as he was able to perform my surgery laparoscopically, again he's the best! I would highly recommend both Dr. Bhoyrul and all of the team at Old Del Mar Surgical. read more

Dr. Bhyorul is the good old fashioned doctor that is really hard to find these days. He truly cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to make sure you succeed with your goals.

Do yourself a favor and schedule with Dr. Bhoyrul, you won't regret it! read more

Truly a caring, positive and personal experience that is totally focused on the patient. Amazing staff. Wonderful caring people. Thank you.

It's been nearly two years since my ill-fated Nissen's Fonduplication. The ultimate effect of this procedure to me is permanent damage and severe pain almost every meal. I'd say throwing up at least weekly with severe chest pain resembling heart attack (complete with palpitations) is about par for the course. The last incident occurred at a lovely wedding at Quail Botanical Gardens. Spent much of the time crouching in the bushes trying to not "steal the spotlight" from the bridal party in the worst possible way. I also frequently experience severe nerve pain and tingling in my mouth which is associated with meal times. I recently penned a letter to Dr. B detailing my struggles. It was completely ignored. I had been encouraged by Dr. B and his staff to believe that these unpleasant issues would resolve themselves over time. Probably because the SOL for Med Mal is just one year. So now I'm the one that's truly SOL. If you are even thinking of this procedure, do your homework and be aware that the outcome is often NOT GOOD. I wish I would have. And if you do have problems, the office will simply "wash their hands of you." read more

Hi , Dr Sunil is one the kindest , caring and compassionate man , he helped me with my Hernia that another doctor blotched , it was really infected , mesh was infected and it had spread to other parts of my body including my appendix which also had to be taken out . He saved my life and I will never forget it .. Love you add Sunil and God bless read more

Absolutely the best! I was referred to Dr Bhoyrul by my gastroenterologist. Dr Bhoyrul met with me, made an evaluation, ordered his own tests, spoke to with the care and thoughtfulness of a good friend or relative and we made the decision together that was best for me. I had surgery and it was the right decision because I'm feeling great now! His post surgery care and concern has been as good as his pre surgery evaluation. I recommend him highly read more

I work in healthcare myself and developed a symptomatic umbilical hernia several years ago. I met with a few surgeons when it was clear that my hernia had to be repaired. Dr. Bhoyrul and his staff really stuck out to me in the initial consultation. He was personable and took the time to give me a thorough evaluation. Even though a hernia repair is a fairly simple and routine procedure for most surgeons he understood that it was still a really important undertaking for me. He explained everything in detail and described his method of repair and why he felt it would be better for me. My interactions with the office and the staff were all excellent. The office got my insurance authorized quickly and scheduled my surgery efficiently only a couple weeks out from my initial consultation. On the day of surgery I felt that I had amazing care. Dr. Bhoyrul was a true professional and an expert surgeon. I was extremely pleased with how quickly I was able to recover, resume activities and work and my final result. Dr. Bhoyrul was one of the only surgeons that seemed to care about the details like minimizing the size of my scar and hiding it further inside the umbilicus to make it less noticeable. It's been over a year since my surgery and I have no symptoms whatsoever, can do any activity I want, participate in sports/heavy lifting, and can't even see my surgical scar. I really appreciated Dr. Bhoyrul's expert care, his thoughtfulness, and that he cares enough to pay attention to the patient and the details. I'm so grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend Dr. Bhoyrul and Olde Del Mar Surgical to anyone in need of a general or bariatric surgery. read more

I wholeheartedly agree with the kudos regarding Dr Bhoyrul! He is an amazing amazing amazing person and physician. Best I've ever met---as skilled as he is compassionate. All good there. I did want to give a shout out to his supporting cast too. His office staff follow his lead of being equally compassionate and professional. There is one particular person who really stands out for us and that is his right-hand person, Nurse Practitioner Kirsten Goshen. I can't say enough heartfelt good things about this caregiver. Seriously. If I could, I'd rent an airplane with a banner touting her excellence all over the county! My spouse was super high risk for the gastric bypass surgery itself, let alone the recovery and maintenance stages. Due to a host of medical conditions, he could not be under anesthesia for more than 2 hours. As I huddled with friends in the waiting room, alternating between praying and pacing the floors, Kirsten and Dr Bhoyrul did their thing in the OR and did it so well, the entire procedure was done in just over 1 hour! And the care didn't stop there either. Kirsten was especially thoughtful with her ministrations and upon his release from the hospital, she continued her vigilance on monitoring his care. She made herself completely available to us to contact day or night with questions and concerns. No one does that! She checked in on us regularly and basically said, "Hey, you're family now." That's how this practice operates. And they have people like Kirsten--who so obviously adores what she does and has such a heart for it--embracing the patient AND their family and helping every step of the way. From going on 5k walks with patients and family every month to coming alongside to cheerlead and advise and encourage, Kirsten is the consummate compassionate caregiver. This practice will not leave you alone in this journey towards health, not with folks like Kirsten around. You can be assured this professional (and this Doc, the staff, this entire practice) is in it for the long haul. You could not be in better hands. read more

Dr. Bhoyrul is a terrific surgeon and really cares about his patients, but the smartest thing he ever did was to hire Kirsten Goshen as his Nurse Practitioner. She is extraordinarily caring and reliable. I had complications, so I was under Dr. Bhoyrul's care for a few months and Kirsten was there for me big time! From my first encounter with her, I could feel that she deeply cared not only about my physical condition, but about how I was navigating the experience of surgery and hospitalization. She was there for me every time I needed her, nights and weekends it didn't matter, she got back to me promptly with good advice, the right medication and emotional support when I needed it. I really can't say enough about her. I wish that everyone could have a nurse who cared so deeply and was so right on. read more

I saw another surgeon before going to see Dr. Bhoyrul. That surgeon was not a good fit. At a friend's recommendation I went to Dr. Bhoyrul and instantly fell in love with him and the office staff. He is so incredibly caring and passionate about his work. I saw his dietian for 6 months pre-op at my first meeting I was so scared because all I've ever had from other dietians is how awful I'm eating, and nothing but negativity. Not so with Mary, she's a sweetheart and worth paying OOP to see her. I had my RNY surgery in the beginning of May 2017. I had several complications and Dr. Bhoyrul and Kirsten Goshen his amazing Nurse Practioner were there for me every step of the way. I called after hours, weekends, holidays and they were always available and doing everything they could to help. It is such a comfort to see such sweet loving faces walk into your hospital room and greet you with love and caring the way these two do. I've never had anyone who isn't family love and care about me as much as they do. read more

I love Dr. Bhoyrul, Kirsten and his staff. I was referred to him for surgery awhile ago and needed more care recently. Dr. Bhoyrul, Kirsten and his staff have been an answer to prayer. Their care and concern are beyond compare. I would highly recommend anyone who needs surgery to go see Dr. Bhoyrul, he is absolutely the best! As other reviewers have said, both pre and post surgery care are excellent! Thank you Dr. Bhoyrul and staff for all you do! read more

I will forever be indebted to Dr. Bhoyrul, Kirsten and the rest of the staff at Del Mar Surgical. Dr. Bhoyrul is one of the most caring, knowledge and professional doctors I've ever seen. He and his staff are the reason I'm in the best health and well-being I've ever been in my life. I had gastric bypass surgery December 2018 as I weighed 286 lbs and my body fat was near 75. Thankfully I didn't have diabetes, high blood pressure or any other ailments that are common for someone who is obese. I started exercising 3 weeks later, 2x a week then 3x and now 5-6x per week. I had never exercised before being that I have been an asthmatic kid since 8 years old. But I listened to their recommendations about diet and exercise and I applied them. In April 2019, Dr. Bhoyrul gave me the green light for skin removal surgery as I weighed 166 and my body fat was under 30. He recommended an excellent surgeon as he said he would forever take care of me. I am now recovering from a breast lift, arm lift and tummy tuck surgeries which I had on May 14th, 2019. I had less than 5 lbs of skin removed since I had worked so hard at reducing the fat in my body. I have gone from a size 26 to a size 8 in clothing and my shoe size has reduced from a size 10 to a size 8 1/2. I feel amazing, blessed, beautiful but most of all HEALTHY !!! My 50th birthday is this July and as I reflect I know I couldn't have ever done this had Dr. Bhoyrul and his staff been so amazing. Thank you sooo much and God bless all of you. read more
