Who performs the circumcision?+

Every circumcision is performed personally by Rabbi Joseph, a mohel with over 19 years of experience and more than 5,000 procedures completed across Miami and South Florida.

Is Rabbi Joseph a doctor?+

No. Rabbi Joseph is a mohel, trained specifically in ritual and natural circumcision technique — not a medical doctor. This is disclosed clearly before every appointment.

What are the benefits of circumcision?+

The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes several potential health benefits, including easier hygiene, reduced risk of urinary tract infections, and a lower long-term risk of penile cancer. We're happy to walk you through the full picture on a call.

Does Rabbi Joseph speak Spanish?+

Yes — Rabbi Joseph speaks Spanish fluently and is happy to guide Spanish-speaking families through every step in their own language.

Is the procedure painful for my baby?+

The technique used is designed to be nearly painless. An anesthetic pain-relief ointment is applied on the spot, and the procedure itself is completed in less than 90 seconds.

How long does the procedure take?+

The circumcision itself takes less than 90 seconds. Including consultation and settling your baby, most visits last well under an hour.

Can it be done at home, or only in-office?+

Both. Our Elite Care service is performed in the comfort of your own home, while Essential Care is performed in-office — same natural method, same care, either setting.

Up to what age can my baby be circumcised?+

We care for newborns and young babies. Share your baby's exact age when you reach out and we'll confirm the best timing for your appointment.

How much does it cost?+

Elite Care (in-home) is $1,500. Essential Care (in-office) is $750. Flexible payment plans are also available, splitting the cost into 2 or 3 payments.

Do you offer payment plans?+

Yes. Alongside full payment, we offer a 2-payment plan ($400 at checkout + $400 one month later, $800 total) and a 3-payment plan ($900 total split across three months).

How do I book an appointment?+

Call or text (754) 444-0264, or fill out the contact form on our website. Rabbi Joseph personally follows up to confirm your baby's age, health, and preferred setting before scheduling.

What are your hours?+

We're available by appointment Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–9:00 PM and Sunday 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. We're closed Saturdays for Shabbat.

What does recovery look like?+

Most babies heal fully within 10–15 days. Mild redness or swelling in the first few days is normal and improves quickly with the aftercare guidance we provide.

What support do I get after the procedure?+

You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions on the spot, and Rabbi Joseph remains personally available 24/7 (except Shabbat) to answer any follow-up questions.

What should I watch for during healing?+

Some redness, mild swelling, or slight yellowish coating is a normal part of healing. If you notice heavy bleeding, fever, or signs that concern you, call us right away — we're always reachable.
