Our neonatologists will perform a circumcision on your male child upon request. Most male infants in Jackson are circumcised. Although recent studies show the decreased incidence of bladder and kidney infections in circumcised male infants, circumcision is still considered an elective procedure. 

The professionals at The Newborn Associates will perform a circumcision on your male child upon your request. Over 80% of male infants in Jackson are circumcised. Although, recent studies show decreased incidence of bladder and kidney infections in circumcised male infants, circumcision is still considered an elective procedure.

We will be happy to discuss the pros and cons of this procedure with you as you make your decision. Local anesthesia is available for the procedure, and circumcision is usually performed while the child is still in the hospital.

Because the procedure is elective, it is usually not covered by insurance or Medicaid. Most commercial insurance plans will cover the circumcision; however, Medicaid will not cover the cost of the procedure. Our policy is to require payment prior to performing the circumcision.
