When my son was born 9 years ago, our pediatrician helped support our son's intactness when the ER doc prescribed a circumcision! Turned out it was a minor skin irritation, not a horrible infection or UTI caused by having a foreskin... go figure!! Dr. Alexander in Anchorage assured us nothing was the matter with our son's penis, prescribed some simple OTC hydrocortisone, and it cleared up instantly.
ReplyDeleteDr. Therese Tomasoski in Wasilla has sons who are intact, so she fully supports and encourages leaving baby boys the way they are.
ReplyDeleteI very happily have an intact friendly doctor to add to the list for Alaska

We saw Dr. Allen after my son was diagnosed with VUR (bladder reflux). The doctor we saw at the hospital was awful, and immediately recommended a circumcision and forced retraction. I went to Dr. Allen in the hopes that he would be more respectful of our wishes regarding keeping our son intact. He was more than respectful. He actually agreed with us that foreskin is not a pathology and that there is no reason to routinely circumcise or forcibly retract. Even his examination of my son was respectful, and he made no attempt to retract him. I cannot sing his praises enough. He was kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. I never dreamed I would find a pediatric urologist who would support our decision to leave our son intact.
