Dr. Alexander Injac 4101 Greenbriar St Texas Children's Pediatric Medical Group Suite 100 Houston, TX 77098 (713) 526-6443 North Hills Family Medicine 150 East Sonterra Suite 220 San Antonio, Texas 78258 (210) 481-6800 http://www.northhillsfamilymedicine.com "He is not only intact friendly but also pro-breastfeeding and is just fine with alternative and selective vaccination schedules as well. I've heard that the other two doctors in that practice are like-minded but I can only speak from my experience with Dr. Earp. He's never tugged on or retracted my son's foreskin and even told us all we needed to do was leave it be. He has a very gentle demeanor and treats my husband and I like we are equal to him." Dr. Frank McGehee, MD 1129 6th Avenue Fort Worth, TX 76104 817-336-4896 "I just started taking my son to him, after an incident with his first pedi, but he advises against circumcision, and is completely against premature retraction." Dr. Ayman Arouse Walls Regional Hospital 201 Walls Dr Cleburne, TX 76033 "Our doctor is wonderful. He treats my son as if he's normal (because he is!)... Never a second glace or any questions. He knows how to care for an intact penis (as in he never has retracted or asked me to)." Daniel J. Chartrand, MD Family Medicine 404 N.

Dr. Michael McCoy 3600 William D. Tate Ave. Grapevine, TX 76051 817-481-3585 "Dr. McCoy is very against circumcision. He was actually very excited when we told him we didn't want to do it. He has been supportive all the way! He's also very good with kids, which is obviously another plus." Bee Caves Pediatrics 2499 S Capital Of Texas Hwy, Ste B100, Austin, TX 78746 (512) 328-7666 http://www.beecavespediatrics.com/ Dr. Chimene Fikkert, Pediatrician Medical Clinic Of North Texas 811 Interstate 20 W Ste 214 Arlington, TX Dr. Krenie Stowe Maternal and Family Clinic 27854 I-45 North across from The Woodlands Mall 281-419-1599 "Foreskin friendly AND a WONDERFUL OVERALL PEDIATRICIAN!" Dr. Michael Bowen 7430 Remcon Cir El Paso, TX 79912 "He advises parents against forcible retraction, and sees lots of intact patients (the circumcision rate in this city is very low), so he's really familiar with intact-care. He advised me 'leave it alone'." Dr. Roy Brent Wadle 520 E Douglas Tyler, TX 75702 (903) 593-1721 http://www.tmfhs.org/TMFOpenbody.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&id=738&action=detail&ref=893 Dr. David Jimenez (neurosurgeon) 4502 Medical Dr Fl 5 San Antonio, TX 210-358-0500 Dr. Alexander Injac Texas Children's Pediatric Medical Group 4101 Greenbriar St Suite 100 Houston, TX 77098 "When I interviewed him about being our pediatrician, I didn't know if I was having a boy or a girl. I wanted to ask him some questions (to see if he knew about not retracting the foreskin, etc) so I started by saying "if this is a boy, we don't want to circumcise him." He said "that's a lucky boy."He is also foreign born, from Eastern Europe, which is probably one of the reasons he's not circumcision-happy like a lot of doctors in Texas." J. Todd Brodbeck, D.O. West Texas Pediatrics, LLP 3409 82nd Street Lubbock, Texas 79423 806-780-6868 http://www.westtexaspediatrics.com/ My intactivist pedi said once: "The only thing you need you to take care of an intact penis is a ruler...to slap the hand of anyone who tries to touch it." He is AMAZING, I cried when we moved. He also said when he was first born "I don't know why everyone has something against penises?, it's like they say 'Oh, he's perfect, well except for that penis, can you change that.'" He also refuses to do circumcisions on newborns because of his own beliefs.

And it does seem that one of the biggest problems that leads to children needing a circumcision later in life is improper care of their uncircumcised penis, with this improper care usually involves a parent being told to retract their child's foreskin before it is ready to be retracted. The best advice that a parent can follow is to simply 'leave it alone' and let a child retract and wash his penis once he discovers that it is retractable." Dr. Alfredo Santesteban, MD A. 2755 Miller Avenue Fort Worth, TX 76105 (817) 534-7110 B. 1525 South Cooper Street Arlington, TX 76010 (817) 804-1100 C. 1604 Hospital Parkway Bedford, TX 76022 (817) 283-0808 D. 6421 Mccart Avenue Fort Worth, TX 76133 (817) 263-7500 E. 2528 Jacksboro Highway Fort Worth, TX 76114 (817) 413-0521 "He refuses to circumcise. I wish I had him when my first was born. He is the only one in my area that I know of that won't circumcise. (But he is very pro-vaccine.)"
