Routine circumcision has gone from the absolute norm in the US a generation ago to being a hotly debated topic. In this information sheet, I will give you the basic facts about circumcision. As always, please do your own research and educate yourselves about this topic before making a decision regarding your baby. In any case, I do not perform circumcisions as this surgery is beyond the scope of my practice, so you will need to consult your doctor or pediatrician if you want your baby boy circumcised.
