Circumcision frustration

I am beyond frustrated right now with the urologist. First, my ped said circs aren't done at the hospital, and he would refer us to a ped urologist after our first appointment. I got the referral, and called when LO was just a week old. They told me it had to be done before he was a month old. Should have been no problem. He'll be a month old on Monday and now they tell me the tentative appt for tomorrow might not go forward, and they never even talk to the surgeon yet if it can. I have called this place over 15 times in the past 2.5 weeks, and the person I need is never there or will call me back with info (and then never does). Now, I have no appt and was told its the dr's discretion if he'll even do it past this week. W. T. F.

Re: Circumcision frustration

  • Have you actually seen the urologist? When you do, make sure he is aware of the scheduling problems you have had. A few days past one month isn't a big deal if a urologist is doing the procedure but I agree, time is of the essence here. The reason they prefer to do it earlier is b/c there is less pain for LO and also, they are more sleepy in those first weeks which is better for recovery.

  • I haven't seen the urologist, and wouldn't even have thought of mentioning it to him (I would imagine id be so relieved that it wouldn't cross my mind), but you're right, I should and will!
