Perfect experience! Nice clinic with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Pretty scary for me to have my 7 month old do this, but the doctor and his team made it as stress free as possible. Most importantly 6 months later my baby has healed completely, it looks cosmetically “perfect” my pediatrician said and I agree. Would highly recommend.

Experience the Significance of Ritual Circumcision
A Brit Milah is not just a medical procedure; it is a deeply meaningful ceremony involving family and community. Traditionally performed on the eighth day after birth, the Brit Milah signifies a fundamental aspect of Jewish identity. Our services emphasize this significance, ensuring that the ceremony is conducted with the utmost respect for both the ritual and the medical considerations involved.
In keeping with both the medical and ceremonial aspects of Brit Milah, we do not strap babies to circumcision boards. Instead, infants are held gently by a parent or trained staff member, and parents are encouraged to be present in the room which is not allowed in hospital and many clinics. This approach helps create a calm, respectful environment that aligns with the values of the ritual.
