Can I help you find a doctor that performs circumcisions

Hello ummi,

Common complaint where it is not done over a certain age at a particular centre. I have replied with where you will be able to get it done, it is done at all ages but you need to know where it is done.

I used to have a list from when we had our second boy done. But I have no idea where it has gone.

I do however, remember who we ended up choosing.

It was Dr Lim.

You can find his details here:

It was only about $150 and got some back from medicare. He uses the plastibell, with painstop, emla cream, and a local anesthetic. The nurses were fantastic.

Thanks Father, much appreciated. I will have to look into the different method? My first boy was done surgically?

No worries. I'm sorry I couldn't find the list that I had. There are plenty of doctors in Perth that do it - with different methods.
If you aren't a fan of the plastibell, I would suggest you just call the local maternity wards in some hospitals in your area and ask them to provide you a list of names. When I called up the Joondalup hospital, they gave me a couple of names - which in turn also knew of other doctors. Within 15 minutes, I had about 8 names to work with.

Good luck!

Thanks again for the recommendation Father - Dr Lim was fantastic, very kind & informative & even gave us his mobile number for reassurance.

hi just thought i would pop in and let you all know that there is a surgeon in mackay , QLD that does circumcisions.

Mackay Surgical Group - they are on willetts road (near the mater i believe)

they will only do up to 4 weeks of age (from dob for a full term baby or EDD for a preterm baby)

approx $350-400 at this point in time (and like $100 ish back on medicare) and you need a drs referal from either doc that delivered or your gp.

hope this helps
