Each year, there are over a million circumcisions performed in North America. Newborn circumcision when performed properly, is quick and safe. Some studies show that it may produce small benefits. These medical benefits accrue from infancy through old age. Parents should also be aware that there are physicians who question the significance of these medical benefits, as well as the practice of circumcision.

It is Dr. Pollock's position (as well as the position of the Canadian Pediatric society) that;

"When parents are making a decision about circumcision they should be advised of the present state of medical knowledge about its benefits and harms. Their decision may ultimately be based on personal, religious or cultural factors.”

And this is what our website endeavors to do.

Dr. Pollock limits his practice to only two surgical procedures. Infant circumcision is one of these procedures. (No-Scalpel No-Needle Vasectomy is the other). For these two procedures, Dr. Pollock is one of the busiest and most well known physicians in North America.

Years ago, before beginning to perform these procedures, Dr. Pollock traveled to many cities in North America researching first hand what he believed to be all the best techniques used by the most experienced doctors. After carefully studying their most effective strategies, Dr. Pollock put together his own approach to these surgeries, combining the most effective elements of what he learned.

As of January 2007, Dr. Pollock has safely performed close to 25,000 circumcisions. Dr. Pollock is a frequent guest lecturer at local hospitals and conferences. His research into developing a safe quick and virtually pain free approach to circumcision has been published internationally.
