About This Service
A Personal Choice, Done with Care
As a board-certified OB-GYN with nearly a decade of experience performing newborn circumcisions, I offer medical circumcision as a standalone service for families who are not seeking a religious ceremony.
This is the same procedure performed in hospitals — with the same medical standards and pain management — but done in your home, on your timeline, by a physician you have chosen yourself.
Why Families Choose This
You Deserve to Choose Your Provider
Missed the Hospital Window
Some families leave the hospital before a circumcision is performed, or their son was born at a birth center or at home. This service offers a safe path forward.
A Provider You Trust
In a hospital setting, the procedure is typically performed by whichever physician is on call. Here, you choose your provider in advance and connect with me by phone or video before the appointment.
The Comfort of Home
Your home is where your family feels most at ease. There is no need to travel with a newborn — I come to you.
The Procedure
What to Expect
The procedure is straightforward and performed with the same care and clinical standards I bring to every circumcision. I use a small injection of lidocaine to numb the area, as well as sugar water to help keep your baby calm.
Consultation
We connect by phone or video before the procedure to answer your questions, review your baby's health, and walk through what to expect. I ask to speak directly with the parent or parents to confirm the appointment.
The Procedure
The circumcision itself takes only a few minutes. I use local anesthesia and take every measure to ensure your baby is as comfortable as possible throughout.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
You will receive complete aftercare instructions before I leave. I am available for follow-up questions in the days that follow.

Straightforward pricing, no surprises.
