Book nowWhat is a circumcision?
A circumcision is a procedure that permanently removes the foreskin of the penis (the skin that covers the head). It is known to be one of the oldest and most performed procedures in the world. Families and adults choose it for health, hygiene, cultural, and religious reasons. At the Fulcrum Clinic, a doctor performs it safely and comfortably at every age.
Newborn and Childhood Circumscisions
We provide gentle circumcision care for babies and children of all ages. The newborn period is the simplest time: the procedure is quick, uses local anaesthetic only, and babies heal fast. For older children, we use age-appropriate pain relief and comfort measures, and give parents clear guidance at every step, from consultation through recovery.
Adult Circumcision
Many men choose an adult circumcision for lasting relief from a tight foreskin (phimosis), recurring irritation, or infections. Others choose it for personal, cultural, or religious reasons. We explain your options and schedule the procedure around your life, so you’re back to normal quickly.

The Canadian Paediatric Society supports families in making an informed choice based on their own values and beliefs, furthermore, it recommends that a circumcision be performed by trained clinicians using proper pain relief, which is exactly how we practice. Circumcision complications are uncommon and usually minor, such as light bleeding or irritation. We review them with you at your consultation.
Circumcision Procedure, Pain Relief, and Recovery
Every circumcision procedure includes pain control tailored to the patient’s age and need. After the circumcision, you’ll receive simple written aftercare instructions and direct access to our team during healing. Our guides explain what happens during the procedure and what circumcision recovery looks like for babies, children, teens and adults.
