Circumcision for Newborns & Children – A Pediatric Urologist Explains Everything Parents Need to Know

If you’re a parent asking “Should my newborn be circumcised?”, “Is circumcision medically necessary?”, or “What are the risks and benefits of circumcision?”, this video is for you.

In this in-depth podcast, I sit down with Pablo Gomez, MD, a board-certified pediatric urologist, to give parents clear, evidence-based answers about circumcision—without pressure, ideology, or confusion.
This conversation is designed for:
• Parents deciding about newborn circumcision
• Parents referred for medical circumcision
• Families looking for a pediatric urologist’s perspective
• Anyone searching for honest information about circumcision

What you’ll learn in this video
What is circumcision?
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis. In newborns, it is typically performed shortly after birth. In older children, it may be recommended for specific medical reasons. Dr. Gomez explains how circumcision is performed, how long it takes, and what parents should realistically expect.
Is circumcision medically necessary?

One of the most common Google searches parents make is:
➡️ “Is circumcision necessary for newborns?”
Dr. Gomez explains when circumcision is elective and when it is medically indicated, including conditions such as:
• Phimosis
• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Infections of the foreskin (balanitis)
• Scarring or inflammation
Benefits of circumcision
Parents often search for:
➡️ “Benefits of circumcision”
➡️ “Health benefits of circumcision in babies”
We review the evidence around:
• Reduced risk of UTIs in infancy
• Lower rates of certain infections
• Hygiene considerations
• Long-term health implications
Risks and complications of circumcision
Another top search:
➡️ “Circumcision risks”
Dr. Gomez gives a candid discussion of:
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Pain control and anesthesia
• How often complications actually occur
• What complications look like when they do happen
This is not fear-based—but it is honest.
Does circumcision hurt?
Parents frequently ask:
➡️ “Does circumcision hurt babies?”
We discuss modern pain control techniques, local anesthesia, comfort measures, and what babies experience during and after the procedure.
What does circumcision aftercare look like?
Common searches include:
➡️ “Circumcision healing time”
➡️ “How to care for circumcision in newborns”
This video covers:
• Normal healing timelines
• What swelling and redness are expected
• When to call the doctor
• How parents can help healing go smoothly
Circumcision for medical reasons vs routine newborn circumcision
If your child was referred to a pediatric urologist, this conversation explains why circumcision may be recommended later in childhood and how that differs from newborn circumcision.
Why hear this from a pediatric urologist?
Dr. Pablo Gomez is a board-certified pediatric urologist who treats infants and children every day. This is not internet advice or opinion—it’s a clinical explanation from a specialist who sees the full spectrum of outcomes.
The goal of this video is simple:
Give parents enough accurate information to make a confident, informed decision.
No shaming.
No pressure.
Just facts, experience, and context.

Achilles tendon tear or rupture is a common and severe musculoskeletal injury, not only in athletes but also among extremely active people. In this Best Practice Health interview, Paul Bishop, DPM, a fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon based in Gilbert, Arizona, breaks down everything you need to know about Achilles tendon tears and Achilles tendon repair surgery. He explains how a tear (also called a rupture) typically happens when the strong tendon that connects your calf muscle to your heel is overstretched or suddenly stressed, often making a “pop” and resulting in sharp heel pain, swelling, and difficulty walking—which are key symptoms to watch for after an injury.
Dr. Bishop discusses both non-surgical and surgical treatment options for Achilles tendon injuries, including when conservative care like immobilization in a boot may be appropriate and when a surgical repair can offer the best outcome—especially for active adults and athletes who want to return to normal function. He outlines what to expect with a repair procedure, how recovery and rehabilitation work, why physical therapy is essential, and how long it typically takes to regain strength and mobility in the affected Achilles.

This interview is a valuable resource for anyone in Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, or surrounding East Valley communities searching for expert insight on Achilles tendon tear symptoms, treatment options, recovery timeline, and surgeon-recommended care.
