ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
Circumcision has been practiced by generations for thousands of years, since the time of the biblical patriarch Abraham. As the world advances, we constantly review and update our best practices to make circumcision as safe and comfortable as possible, while adhering to tradition.
Please keep in mind, that a Mohel is not a doctor and cannot answer health questions unrelated to ritual circumcision. All health concerns should be discussed with your primary care provider before making a descision about circumcision.
Prior to the procedure the Mohel will explain the entire process and answer any questions prior to the procedure. Information will be presented about the pre-prep, the circumcision itself and the after-care. The childs parent/s or legal guardian/s will be required to sign consent forms. Parents or caregivers are given the choice to be present, and if desired, they may be given the choice to hold their child throughout the procedure.

No! We do use a special Mohel shield which protects the child without causing him unnecesary pain.

No! Our research showed this to be unneccesary for infants under 3 months of age, based on the type of procedure that we perform.
That said, we do offer topical anesthetics if desired, but the actual procedure generally takes quicker than giving shots!
