It is our preference to perform circumcision in the office and
not in the hospital.
You have until the baby is about two weeks of age to perform
circumcision. To see the American Academy of Pediatrics view on
circumcision, click
here.
On request, the doctors use a local anesthetic shot at the
base of the penis before circumcision.
After your appointment, you will be allowed to feed the baby
and you will be asked to wait about 20 minutes, so the doctor
can check the circumcision afterwards for bleeding.
Do not feed the baby for one and a half to two hours before
the appointment to reduce the risks of the baby spitting up
or vomiting during the procedure.
Bring a t-shirt, blanket and extra diaper for the visit.
