I agree to some degree. It's best to consult with a doctor but go into an office visit informed so that you know what questions to ask and then determine if the doctor has done his homework i.e.(continuing medical education CME) or research. Some doctors are very well versed on recent studies, and treatments and arent' always quick to cut away at a problem. I have worked with various medical doctors for over 15 years and most haven't done any real studies and research into anything since they left medical school and they generally take what was the consensus treatment in their heyday at school.

In an earlier comment from someone else regarding getting a circumcision later in a babies life, some of this is true. There is a growing trend of babies leaving the hospital uncircumcised, thus influencing the stats a bit. Some of it maybe due to insurance, preference of parents, or that the baby was premature. This trend has been picked up by doctors who have now seen another window of opportunity due to attaining higher reimbursement rates from insurance for doing circumcisions at their offices or at a cheaper ASC (ambulatory surgery center) rather than at the hospital of birth.
