Any Info about Circumcision!

[Parisa]

Thank you all for your informative notes, I didn't expect such good commentsjust wanted to let you know that I live in Parramatta, so the one which is in Castle hill would be perfect regarding the distance.
Kell would u pls send me the contact number or address of your Dr?!
About the price.... how come your Dr charged u 250 $ and Mrs Mac's Dr charged her only 35$? I'm looking for a Dr who does his work well. I don't want my little baby suffer or get infection. Mrs Mac r u serious that your Dr charged u only 7$? was it plastiball? have u been happy of his work? thanx once more

I think mine was so cheap cause it was in hospital so it was only his time not any room fees or anything. It was really well done (as far as I know!) Yes it was the plastibell.

Parisa.. will pm you shortly. Oh dont worry about your DS suffering. Jesse cried for 20 seconds when they gave him the local needle (he cries with every needle but can you blame him ) and the was fine during and after the proceedure. He didnt feel a thing and came out into the waiting room smiling and talking to me. Not sure.. i guess its up to the OB how much they charge and whether they claim from medicare on your behalf or not. Dr Bell doesnt claim for you from Medicare, you have to do that. But i know quite a few people who have had it done by him and all rave about him and how lovely he is. One of my current pregnancy Belly buddies actually sees him as an OB and loves him.

Dr Khan in Kingswood did Imran with the plastibell. He put it on medicare plus some cash on top. I can't remember how much but it was pretty cheap - definately not hundreds.
He was really nice and did a great job.
Yasin was done by Dr Selim in Punchbowl. He did a good job but his waiting room was really crowded and we had to wait for ages and he wasn't very friendly. I wouldn't reccomend him.

Parisa.. i cant send you a PM as you dont have enough posts to recieve them.
His name is Dr Peter Bell. If you put his name into whitepages online it will come up with his details.

Jensen was circumcised at 7wks using the Plastibell method. I was nervous, but he didn't seem too affected by it.

Hi Parisa- I had my son in a public hossy and got no help and nothing but horrible things said about me and about my decision... I had never heard of the plastibel option until after we had my son circumsized and think if we had another boy that would be our option then...

We took my son to a prediactirc surgeon at 3 months who would only do the surgury at 12 months as he said it was safer at that age to put him under... It was quite traumatic for me although the surgury went well... we did have a small issue after... My son after a bath grabbed down there and popped one stitch but they dont restich as it heals itself... Still traumatic for me to rush him to hossy with blood everywhere...

From what i have heard since then the plastibel option is much quicker, less traumatic for mums and amore efficient way of doing it... Think you have to get it done while there quite young though.... less painful i am told???

Good luck.


Oh i used Bruce Curry who operates in Livo ares but also has other surguries. not exactly sure where thou.

Hi laides, sorry if I seem to be coming from nowhere & trying to take over this post, I'm not trying to take over, but...

Just wondering if anyone can recomend a Dr who can circumcise on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. I looked in here as it was asking for Dr's in Sydney but they seem to be out West or in the city.

I just found out I'm having a boy & would like to be organised so when it comes time for his arrival I will know when & where for his circumcision.

Once again, sorry for this post being about "me".

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks ladies

Danielle.. my girlfriend had her son done somewhere on the northern beaches.. will sms her and find out the doctors name and where. Otherwise Dr Peter Bell does it in Castle Hill. Will get back to you on the other one.

ETA.. ok my friend said she had her son done at the Sans Hospital in Turramurra. She will get back to me on the doctor's name but she said he was fantastic. Will get back to you with the name.
