NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2026 — Dr. Mark Zoland, a board-certified general surgeon and founder of Core Surgical, has been named to the 2026 New York Super Doctors list. The recognition will be published in the May 3, 2026 Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine and online at superdoctors.com. Super Doctors identifies top physicians through a rigorous, multistep selection process that includes peer nominations, independent research, and review by a physician-led panel.

Dr. Zoland has earned a national reputation as a leading authority on sports hernias, complex hernia repair, and chronic groin pain. His expertise attracts patients from across the United States and internationally, including professional athletes from the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and MLS who seek Core Surgical for diagnosis and treatment. With more than two decades of surgical experience and a specialized focus on athletic pubalgia and pelvic pain conditions, Dr. Zoland has helped countless patients — from elite competitors to weekend warriors — return to active, pain-free lives.

At Core Surgical’s Midtown Manhattan practice, Dr. Zoland offers both open and laparoscopic surgical techniques, using advanced technology and individualized approaches tailored to each patient’s condition. His training during the emergence of minimally invasive surgery, combined with mastery of classic operative techniques, enables him to provide a comprehensive range of treatment options.

“Being named a Super Doctor is a tremendous honor, and it reflects the dedication my team and I bring to every patient who walks through our door,” said Dr. Zoland. “Groin pain and sports hernias are complex conditions that often go misdiagnosed. I see myself as an advocate for my patients — taking the time to truly understand their problem and guiding them toward the right solution, even when it requires extra effort. That philosophy is at the heart of everything we do at Core Surgical.”

Dr. Zoland has spent more than 25 years studying the complexities of groin and pelvic pain and shares his expertise in the book Deciphering Groin and Pelvic Pain. His commitment to patient education and advancing the field has made Core Surgical a destination practice for patients who have often seen multiple specialists without receiving a definitive diagnosis.
