The Procedure

Aftercare
Can I circumcise my baby before 6 months?+

Yes. Rabbi Joseph performs circumcisions for healthy babies from newborn up to 6 months old. The earlier, the smoother the procedure and recovery tend to be.

Does my baby need a Vitamin K shot before the procedure?+

No. Babies naturally begin producing Vitamin K on their own by day 8. We schedule procedures accordingly and do not require a Vitamin K shot beforehand.

Do I need my doctor's permission?+

No referral or prescription is required. If your baby has any health concerns or was premature, we recommend a quick check with your pediatrician first. Rabbi Joseph answers all your questions during your free consultation call before you decide anything.

How experienced is Rabbi Joseph?+

19 years of experience, over 5,000 circumcisions across Miami-Dade, Broward, and South Florida. He serves Jewish and non-Jewish families and speaks English and Spanish.

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.

Will my baby be in a lot of pain?+

We use topical lidocaine anesthesia applied directly to the area. The procedure takes 60–90 seconds. You and your partner are present and holding your baby throughout every step — this is not a hospital where parents wait outside.

How is this different from a hospital circumcision?+

Hospital circumcisions are rushed, clinical, and parents are asked to wait outside. With Rabbi Joseph, you are present and holding your baby from start to finish. At your home (Elite Care) or in a calm private office in Aventura (Essential Care), the experience is intimate, unhurried, and on your family's timing.

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 in Aventura — same natural method, same care, either setting.

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.

How much does it cost?+

Elite Care (in-home) is $2,500. 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 — starting with a free consultation call.

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.

How long is the recovery?+

Most babies fully heal in 10–15 days. Rabbi Joseph provides detailed aftercare instructions and is available 24/7 during the entire recovery period — something no hospital offers.

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.
