Dr. Robert Van Howe Bell Medical Pediatrics 901 Lakeshore Drive Suite 103 Ishpeming, MI 49849 906-485-2683 Dr. Flora E. Biancalana Rising Star Wellness Center Plc. 3189 Logan Valley Rd Traverse City, MI "Dr. Flora Biancalana is intact friendly and knowledgeable about foreskin care. My midwife recommended her when I was pregnant with my son. She's trained in homeopathy, provides information about vaccines but never pushes them, is pro-homebirth, pro VBAC, and is very good with my little one. I also love that I can call the office any time and get medical advice from the nurse or Dr. B." Rekha Kostecke, MD Ste 307, 1550 North Milford Road Milford, MI 48381-1058 248-676-0991 "I asked Dr. Kostecke about proper intact care and she advised me to leave it alone and just wipe it like any other part of the body during diaper changes. I asked her yesterday if I could add her to this list and she said, 'YES!' and went on to talk about the benefits of leaving boys whole. She said her son is intact and also said that her brother is a urologist who kept HIS boys intact, too. Dr. Kostecke also works with patients who choose not to vaccinate." Dr. Charles Christensen Womens and Children's Health Services Cheboygan, MI 49721 231-627-1493 "Very awesome pediatrician that said my son was "as God made him" and knew the proper care is never to retract." Dr. Johnie Baker, Pediatrician West Branch Pediatics PC 335 East Houghton Avenue West Branch, MI 48661 (989) 343-9466 "After my (now) 20 month old son was born, I asked the Dr. if there was any special care. (I knew to just wipe it and never retract, but I was just checking.) He said there wasn't and continued to say that he doesn't even perform circumcisions because he thinks it's so barbaric." Dr. Olson http://www.gtchildrens.com/ 3537 W. Front Street, Ste. G Traverse City, MI 49684 ph: (231) 935-8822 fx: (231) 935-8837 "Before I could tell him not to retract, he stated that there is NO reason to retract and clean and to leave it alone. He also said there was nothing wrong at all with being intact." Michelle Storms MD 1414 W. Fair Avenue, Suite 36 Marquette, MI 49855 "I am a family medicine physician in Marquette, Michigan who is anti-circumcision and foreskin-friendly." Dr. Charlie Christensen Women and Children's Health Services Cheboygan, Michigan 49721 (231)627-1493 "Very awesome pediatrician that said my son was "as God made him" and knew the proper care is never to retract." Dr. Kathy J. Jackson, MD Family Health Center Inc 117 W Paterson Street Kalamazoo, MI 49007-2581 (269) 349-2641 "When we told her we didn't want our son circumcised she replied with 'That's what I like to hear!'" Dr. Eric Clark 6800 Newark Road Imlay City, MI 48444-9656 810-724-3445 "Really natural-friendly. Supports breastfeeding, selective vaccines, and is intact-friendly" Janelle Stutzman, MD Dennis Mogle, MD MMPC Pediatrics 1545 68th St. Grand Rapids, MI 49506 616-534-9881 http://www.mmpcpediatrics.com/ "Dr. Stutzman and Dr. Mogle are Foreskin Knowledgable and very attachment parenting friendly." "There are other physicians in this practice, but I do not know if they are foreskin friendly. This practice is very AP friendly in general. They "require" vaccines, but do allow selective and delayed vaccination schedules. They have evening, Saturday and Sunday hours as well. Dr. Mogle told me, "Don't worry about the foreskin till at least 8 or 9 years old." He also thanked me for leaving my son intact." "The doctors do not perform circumcisions. Dr. Stutzman said she has only referred out for a circumcision one time, ever, and that was for a child with severe problems." Joseph S. Kozlowski Jr, DO Kozmic Family Practice 840 E Mount Hope Ave # 200 Lansing, MI 48910-3293 (517) 853-3704 "My son is 19 months old and Dr Kozlowski has been 100% supportive of him being intact. There have never been any issues with attempted retraction or asking about circing. The only mention ever was "I see you left him intact!" with a smile at my son's first appointment when he was a few days old. And telling ME to make sure not to retract him to clean it, but to leave it alone." Jeffery Striebel, DO 4851 E. Pickard St. Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858 (866)247-4419 Dr. Kelly Harte Canton Health Center 1051 North Canton Center Road Canton, MI 48187 (734) 844-5400 Dr. Evan Kass 2221 Livernois Suite 103 Troy, MI 248-519-0305 Add Comment |
