Turned out it was a minor skin irritation, not a horrible infection or UTI caused by having a foreskin... go figure!! Dr. Alexander assured us nothing was the matter with our son's penis, prescribed some simple OTC hydrocortisone, and it cleared up instantly."

Dr. Jerald Kupperberg MD 54 Howard Hill Rd Foster, RI02825 Phone: (401) 397-4638 "When we lived in Rhode Island we had the BEST pediatrician ever. He practices homeopathy and bills like a regular pediatrician so insurance covers it. He is very pro- intact. He even told me that circumcision and forcible retraction were "barbaric". His children were homebirthed and he always suggests probiotics and breastmilk before anything else. When sick he'll suggest homeopathic remedies before western meds as well. He is on the border of RI/CT and well worth the drive. Waldorf-inspired toys to play with inside a small, old farm home on acres of his land. Seeing him is like stepping back in time. So magical!" Renee Robinson MD Family Care Center at Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island Team A 111 Brewster St Pawtucket, RI 401-729-2304 "I was one of the first doctors at Brown Family Med to opt out of learning circumcisions and have worked, both with lectures and through debates, to encourage other doctors to think about their role in circumcision. I speak with my prenatal patients early in their prenatal course about circumcision, and will not participate in circumcisions in our hospital. As a family doctor, I see pediatric, prenatal, and adult patients. I speak English and Spanish."

He has assured us that there shouldn't be any problems with being intact and there's no medical reason to circumcise." Dr. Bobby J Garrison MD Dr. Dean C. Cauley MD Pediatric Associates 1909 Granby Street Suite A Norfolk, VA 23517 (757) 640-0022 "A couple of months ago I needed to take my son to the doctor for a scrotum related problem. Before removing his diaper I asked the doctor what his thoughts on circ were. He asked me if DS was circ'd, then sighed with relief when I said no. He then went on a 5 minute diatribe about how stupid Americans are for circ'ing all their babies. He even mentioned feeling sorry for me that I had to ask before letting him near DS. I haven't had a discussion about circ with Dr Cauley, but when he did a well baby check on DS he merely unsnapped the diaper and then closed it back up without touching."

Living in a 'mainstream' area, she has been a great resource to our family! I knew I wanted a selective delayed vaccination schedule and she was amazingly helpful when I was overwhelmed with information. She has never done anything that made me uncomfortable in the least regarding my son's intact penis. If we've had issues with yeast, she's simply given him a cream-- never placed blame on lack of circumcision or suggested we do anything other than treat it as you would a yeast infection in a girl. She's practical (I went in for shoulder pain, and instead of sending me for testing, she sent me to get a bigger bra-- she was right!) and I feel assured that if she orders a test or medication, that she does so with heavy consideration and in a practical amount. I would higly suggest her to anyone within a reasonable driving distance to Chester, Va!"

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."

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.

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.

Tamara Barstow, M.D. Pediatrics 4010 Aerial Way Eugene OR 97402 (541) 242-8500 "Both of our boys are intact and she supports keeping them that way. Our youngest has had several infections and her recommendation has always been for him to take lots of baths and just to let him play with it. She has never forced their skin back and warned us not to ever do it. She's also vaccine friendly." James Hermes, ND Beaverton Natural Wellness Canter 12750 SW 2nd Street Suite 203 Beaverton.

I am a first time mom and she has been wonderful in helping to educate us and giving us resources to look at while at home. She 100‰ supports intact boys and knows all about proper techniques. She is also non vax friendly! She does not practice wholistic medicine....but is as close as it comes while not practicing. Oh and she also supports home births and works with many midwives in the area! :-) i would recommend her to anyone in the area!!!" Robert C. Forsythe, M.D. Riverside Pediatric Associates 4885 Olentangy River Rd. Suite #2-10 Columbus, OH 43214 (614) 267-7878 "I chose this doctor on recommendation from another friend with several intact boys. She said he was the one who told her to never retract and just let it happen in it's own time. When I interviewed him over the phone to ask if those in his practice knew proper intact care, he seemed to be trying to argue against circumcision even though I told him we were already decided against it. He has never even touched my son's foreskin during exams." Dr. Kevin Dickerson 4885 Olentangy River Rd Suite #2-10 Columbus, OH 614-267-7878 "Dr. Dickerson knows that retraction often doesn't happen until puberty and knows not to force or advise retraction. He also gives a very positive response to parents who decide not to circumcise. The practice will do circumcisions, though." Dr. Edward J.

My son and I have seen a good majority of them there, and no one has ever said anything harmful or told us we need to get him circumcised. When he was just a babe, they told us not to retract the foreskin and just to clean his penis like we clean the rest of him... it needs nothing special."
