In comparison to Snip and The Women’s Clinic, our circumcision service is a small and humble offering. How it joined our suite of services is entirely because of our values in this world.
Dr David Bivona was working in a General Practice Clinic when a fellow clinician offered him the chance to learn the procedure. Eager as always to learn new things, he took up the chance readily. Only, learn he did about how never to perform circumcisions again.
We opened The Circumcision Clinic to allow a pathway to a hard to reach service. Through prioritising patient care, we adopted the plastibell(c) technique so that we could deliver the service with quality and care.
Circumcision does not provide any significant medical benefit, so the choice to circumcise is influenced mainly by culture, tradition, and religion.
A lot of people living in Aotearoa come from cultures and religions where circumcision is a significant and treasured event.
We believe all people should be able to access the healthcare they need so we’re gonna keep finding these fringe services and paving the pathways needed.
