Best Answer

An obstetrician (specialist in birth) or gynecologist (specialist in women's medicine) commonly performs circumcision in the US, but strictly speaking this is outside their area of expertise. They have seldom made any study of the structure or function of the foreskin.

When a circumcision goes wrong, the child is referred to a pediatrician/urologist.
