"I am in practice with a primary care group in the East Bay, consisting of pediatricians and internists. I stopped performing infant circumcisions about 20 years ago when I realized that there is no medical indication for the procedure. I try to give parents accurate information about the function of the foreskin and encourage them to let their sons decide for themselves when they are adults instead of taking that choice away from them as babies. Some of my medical partners do and some do not perform circumcisions. None of us in my group actively promotes circumcision and we give appropriate advice about the care of the intact penis. I am concerned that the American Academy of Pediatrics has failed to make a strong statement against routine infant circumcision despite overwhelming evidence that it is not only not medically indicated but is also harmful."

"This doctor is very knowledgeable about intact foreskins, knows that there is no reason to ever retract, and knows that boys should be retractable sometime between now and when they become sexually active. He is also very breastfeeding-friendly, and respectful of other decisions, such as deciding not to vaccinate, though they are not his preference. He *does* perform circumcisions, but he does not push parents either way- just accepts what they want."

"We saw Dr. De Torres in the hospital and at our first few visits after our son was born.  He was 100% supportive of our decision to leave our son intact.  He took the time to make sure we had no questions about intact care, and what to expect, and the dos and don't for the years ahead.  He is so knowledgeable and caring, you can tell this is a man who loves what he does!" "I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Murphy.  My son loves her!  He literally giggles and gets excited when she walks into the room.  She is so caring and supportive!  I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful person to guide us in our son's medical care!"

"Dr. Adema actually did a little fist pump and 'yay!' when he met my newborn and heard he was intact. My son is only 7 months now, so I can't really speak to his knowledge/care for an intact penis, but I would imagine he is well aware of proper care. He is also very supportive of not vaccinating."

"As a pediatrician, I am dedicated to providing the best possible care for all of my patients, and I do so without regard to race, financial status, or gender. Thus, I am concerned about the apparent disparity in the opinions of the AAP regarding the circumcision of males and females.
In July 1998, the AAP Committee on Bioethics issued a statement condemning the mutilation of female genitalia.1 Although female genital mutilation (FGM) exists in many horrendous variations, that statement clearly included within its definition of FGM "excision of the skin surrounding the clitoris" [paragraph 6]. In that report the Committee also clearly stated that pediatricians should "decline performing all medically unnecessary procedures to alter female genitalia" [paragraph 4]. Furthermore, under the heading "Cultural and Ethical Issues" the Committee stated that the parents' cultural, societal, and religious beliefs do not give them the right to consent to a medically unnecessary procedure for their child.
Therefore, I was dismayed to read that in March 1999 the AAP Task Force on Circumcision failed to afford the same protection to our male patients.2 This report stated that male circumcision "is not essential to the child's well-being"http://pediatrics.aappublications.or...rmal/mdash.gifin other words, it is not medically necessary. However, the Task Force stated that "it is legitimate for parents to take into account cultural, religious, and ethnic traditions ... when making this decision." This is something with which I strongly disagree. Just as no surgeon would perform a medically unnecessary appendectomy just because the parents desire one for their child, so should we, as the protectors of children, refuse to perform unnecessary mutilating procedures on our patients simply because of their parents' desires. Remember, we are not "religious" or "cultural" or "ethnic" practitioners. We are physicians who should practice medicine, not rituals.
Therefore, I hope that my fellow pediatricians will join me in declining to perform medically unnecessary procedures to alter either male or female genitalia, and I ask the AAP to reconvene the Committee on Bioethics to review the policy statement of the Task Force on Circumcision."

"My son's doctor hasn't even mentioned circumcision except that first day at the hospital. It was "will you be circumcising?" I said "nope" he said "ok" and that was it. Every visit he's had was a peek and poke and nothing more, no attempts at retraction, no mention of how to care for it, nothing more. We love him so much!"
