Please do not feed your baby for 1.5 hours prior to the procedure. You will be provided with your own private room so that you will be able to feed your baby after the procedure.

If you are not breast-feeding, please bring a prepared bottle to the appointment so that you will be able to feed your baby following the circumcision.

You and your baby will remain in the office for approximately 30 – 45 minutes after the procedure and the circumcision site will be checked to assure there is no significant bleeding and that it is safe to go home with your baby. Immediately after the procedure, you will be able to feed your infant in a private room.

To decrease the discomfort of the circumcision Dr. Hamilton will administer a local anesthetic prior to the procedure and will offer a glucose solution to your infant during the procedure.

The price for this procedure in this office is $300.00 cash and this payment is due prior to the circumcision being performed. I understand that there will be a rebooking fee of an additional $50.00 if we do not inform the office of a cancellation within 24 hours of our scheduled appointment. Our office is not equipped for debit, credit card payments or email transfers of funds. A receipt will be issued once the payment is received.

Absolutely not, newborn circumcision is a personal decision.

If you decide to request Dr. Hamilton to perform this procedure after reviewing all the information within this section, please contact our office by email for an appointment.
