Why families choose SafeCirc®

Less invasive. More comfort.

We know you want the best for your baby, especially during those precious early days. Families choose SafeCirc® for safe circumcision that honors their values, protects their newborn, and provides peace of mind when it matters most.


SafeCirc® offers a safer alternative to traditional hospital-based circumcision. Here, your baby receives gentle, precise care in a calm outpatient setting — never rushed, always intentional.

Our Minimally Invasive AccuCirc® method means no dorsal slit (an extra incision in the foreskin) — which means less bleeding and minimal discomfort for your baby.

From your first consultation through complete circumcision healing, our team is available 24/7 to support your family's journey.

Guided by research, grounded in compassion

SafeCirc® combines state-of-the-art medical innovation with deeply personal care. Our approach is backed by decades of research, successful clinical trials, and World Health Organization endorsement — ensuring your baby receives circumcision care grounded in science and delivered with compassion.

Key elements that make SafeCirc® different:

  • A patented device designed to eliminate risks associated with traditional circumcision methods. The gentle shield design minimizes risk and ensures precise alignment, providing safe, predictable results that families can trust.

  • We don't just perform the procedure and send you home. SafeCirc® provides detailed circumcision healing guidance, 24-hour physician aftercare support, and follow-up appointments to monitor your baby's recovery every step of the way.

  • With 20+ years of experience, WHO/NIH/Gates Foundation backing, and recognition from Contemporary Pediatrics as a "best new product for pediatricians," SafeCirc®'s method represents the gold standard in safe circumcision.

  • SafeCirc specifically supports families who want to delay circumcision in order to establish breastfeeding in the first few days of a baby’s life. We also work closely with your baby's pediatrician, midwife, lactation consultant, or birth care provider to ensure coordinated care and smooth communication about your newborn's circumcision healing.  Your baby's comfort and safety are our highest priorities.

Why circumcision?

Families choose newborn circumcision for many reasons — cultural tradition, religious beliefs, medical benefits, or personal preference. Whatever your needs are, SafeCirc® respects your choice and makes safety our top priority.


According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, current evidence suggests that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks. The AAP, American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Family Physicians, American Urology Association, and World Health Organization each have similar policy statements supporting access to the procedure for families who choose it.

At SafeCirc®, we believe it's your job to decide what's right for your family, and it's our job to make it safe.

Learn about our care

Every family is unique, and your newborn's circumcision care should reflect that. SafeCirc® provides personalized care that honors your cultural, religious, and medical preferences.

We work with families who:

  • Need flexibility in their medical decision-making

  • Have specific timing requirements for cultural or religious reasons

  • Want to establish breastfeeding before the procedure

  • Want to be present and involved throughout their baby's care

  • Seek a calm, unhurried environment that prioritizes bonding and comfort
