You should consult your pediatrician. He or she will be able to refer you to a physician who performs circumcisions.

However, you should keep in mind that circumcision has no known medical benefit, and it is not recommended by any major medical association. Like any surgery, circumcision has risks of adverse medical events including surgical error, severe pain, infection, and proloned bleeding. Anesthesia poses additional possible adverse events including problems maintaining ventilation of the lungs as well as heart rate and blood pressure. Circumcision also can decrease the sensitivity of the penis, causing decreased sexual pleasure once your son is an adult.

As circumcision is not a medically necessary procedure, it will not be covered by most health insurance. You will have to pay for the full cost yourself out of pocket. For circumcision with general anesthesia, you can expect to pay between $2000 and $3000.
