Best Answer

The Doctor Who would do a circumcision depends on the age of the patient.

For an infant either an Ob/Gyn or a pediatrician.

For a small child either a pediatrician, a pediatric surgeon or a pediatric urologist.

For an adult a general surgeon or a urologist.

Circumcision of newborns is usually performed in the hospital shortly after birth. While outpatient pediatricians may perform circumcision, this is not generally recommended since they are usually not experienced with the procedure since they perform it so infrequently. Circumcision is not generally recommended, especially for children. It has no known medical benefit, and like all surgical procedures, there are risks of serious adverse medical events including surgical error, pain, prolonged bleeding, and infection. General anesthesia is generally needed for circumcision of children, as they are unable and unwilling to stay still while the anesthetic is injected into the penis and surrounding tissues. Restraining the child frequently requires up to 5 staff members. It subjects to child to unnecessary trauma and an unnecessary painful surgery. General anesthesia introduces an entirely additional set of possible adverse events including complications related to ventilation, heart rate, and blood pressure. Circumcision of a child may be performed by a pediatric surgeon for genuine medical reasons, although these are quite rare. Phimosis (a tight foreskin) is normal in children, and will usually become retractable by puberty. Circumcision can be used in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections (more than 4 infections in one year), although this problem is exceedingly rare. However, even with circumcision, infections continue in well over 50% of cases. Most often parents desire circumcision for cosmetic reasons, because they prefer the appearance of a circumcised penis or because the father or brothers are circumcised. This is not sufficient reason to subject a child to a needless surgery. For cases where there is medical reason for circumcision, a pediatric surgeon should always perform the procedure for children 12 or younger. For children from 12 to 18 years of age, either a pediatric surgeon or a urologist can perform the surgery.

In my country, we have certified doctors at the age of 6. My son was circumsized by our cat, with her teeth.

If you live in dickland, it should be the same for you.
