the only reason they say it is necessary is for sanitary purpose. Other then that there is no "medical" advantage to having a circumcision.
Technically yes, any doctor can do a circumcision. However, it is a delicate procedure, and a mistake can have catostrophic results, including damage to the penis, bleeding, infection, and pain. Every year in the United States, there are small number of deaths resulting from circumcision, due mostly to infection, and there a small number of major surgical errors including accidential partial amputation of the penis. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Urologists, both recommend that circumcision be performed only be doctors familiar with the procedure. The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that there is no need for routine infant circumcision.
The motto of American Academy of Pediatrics is 'Dedicated to the Health of All Children'.

he word circumcision means "to cut around". In male infants, circumcision is a surgical operation which involves tearing the foreskin away from the glans (head) of the penis, clamping it and cutting it off. There are several techniques in use, including one (Plastibel) that is intended to slowly strangle the foreskin, but they all involve cutting, blood and removal of sensitive tissue. The skin of the penis is a complex movable sheath with no clear indication of where it should be cut during a circumcision. This means that the amount of foreskin removed from one operation to the next can be very different, and no two circumcisions are the same.Does any medical organizations recommend the circumcision of boys?No medical organizations anywhere in the world recommends routine circumcision of boys. Many organizations state that there is no medical indication for routine circumcision, including the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, the British Medical Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The best places to look are neutral organizations who have no financial gain. The American Association of Pediatrics is such a site and they have an article posted at http://www.aap.org/advocacy/releases/jan07cordblood.htm
