Dr. Gaby in Fort Smith - Sparks Hospital nursery only - Not just intact friendly, but pro-intact.
ReplyDeleteDr. Chris Schluterman and Dr. Jon Hendrix at Pediatric Partners seem to be fairly intact friendly, but I still watch closely and have a note in my son's file not to retract.
Dr. Chesire is NOT intact friendly. He is very forceful about suggesting circumcision. He has his own practice and works in the Sparks nursery.
In Little Rock, Dr Jeremy Harwood with St. Vincent has a clinic by the Promenade down Chenal. He is very pro-intact. His son is intact and he refuses to do the procedure. He refers out to someone else if a parent requests a circumcision. He is great about answering any questions through his business page on Facebook and is quick to reply to messages regardless of the day of the week. He is excellent!
ReplyDeleteDr Christina Bartlett at Milard Henry Clinic in Russellville AR. Never attempts to retract, touch the penis, or even bring up circumcision.
ReplyDeleteDr Pinkington of Russellville is NOT intact friendly!!! He saw my son before he was less than 6 hours old and advised circumcision for his hydronephosis before we even had a chance to see how severe it was (not bad at all!!!)
ReplyDeleteDr. Merle McClain is very intact friendly. Has never tried to retract and instructed me not to as well.
ReplyDeleteWe have also had an excellent experience at Pediatric Partners in Fort Smith. We use Dr. Chris Schluterman but have also seen the nurse practitioner, Ashley, several times and both are great. We have never had any issues with them trying to retract.
