The Same Loving Care - Built Around Babies Who've Grown a Little

By a few months old you know your baby's rhythms: the feeds, the naps, the things that settle them. We work with all of that, never against it. Our pricing is one clear figure covering the consultation, the procedure, the full comfort protocol and every bit of aftercare, with nothing added later and no charge if you'd like to pop back for reassurance. And because the questions that matter most tend to arrive at 2am, our clinical team is on call around the clock, right through to the final day of healing.

Handing your baby to someone else, even for a few minutes, takes trust, and we never take that lightly. Parents tell us it's the combination that wins them over: doctors with genuine surgical, plastic surgery and GP backgrounds who have cared for thousands of babies, and a clinic that refuses to rush. We look after both of you, properly, until healing is complete.

Past the Newborn Stage? You Haven't Missed Your Chance.

One of the most common worries we hear from parents of slightly older babies is, "Have we left it too late?" The honest answer is no. Circumcision can be carried out safely and gently well beyond the newborn period, and the three-to-seventeen-month stage is something we manage every single week. Older babies are a little stronger and a little more curious than newborns, so the practical side looks slightly different - but the experience is just as calm, and the care just as gentle. We'll talk you through what's right for your baby's age at consultation, with no pressure either way.

A Safe Window, Well Beyond the Newborn Days

Three to seventeen months is a routine age range for us - your baby isn't "too old," and we'll explain exactly what to expect at this stage.

Tailored to a Bigger, More Active Baby

Older babies wriggle, grasp, and notice more. Our approach and comfort protocol are adapted accordingly, so the experience stays settled and calm.

Honest Guidance on Timing

If there's ever a reason a different approach would suit your baby better, we'll tell you plainly. Your baby's wellbeing comes before any booking.

Everything Your Baby Needs in a Single Clear Fee

No hidden extras, no "from" prices that climb at the desk. One transparent figure covers the consultation, the procedure, the Pollock Technique™ comfort protocol, skin-glue closure, every follow-up visit, and 24/7 aftercare. You'll know the full cost before you book - because the last thing a parent needs is a surprise.

Got an appointment very quickly. Given resources and direct access to the physician which put us at ease. The doctor and staff have lot of experience and was able to anticipate the behaviour of my infant pre and post procedure which also helps knowing what to expect. Definitely would recommend!

Procedure was very quick and staff was very friendly. It healed very nicely and we were able to send a picture instead of a follow-up appointment, which is very nice when you have a newborn and don’t have to go to an extra appointment.

The procedure was fast and painless. Everyone at the clinic is professional and welcoming. After the procedure and during my healing time any questions and concerns that I had was answered by the doctor promptly. The doctor went above and beyond to accommodate me in some small issues that I was having. Over all great experience and would recommend this clinic.

I cannot recommend the Gentle Procedures Clinic highly enough! From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. The doctor was absolutely amazing-professional, reassuring, and incredibly skilled. The procedure itself was unbelievably quick and completely pain- free. I hardly noticed that I had undergone a procedure at all! Even afterward, I felt zero pain or discomfort, which was a pleasant surprise.

The doctor performed the circumcision with exceptional care and professionalism. The procedure was quick, clean, and well-explained from start to finish. He made sure we were comfortable and answered all our questions patiently. The recovery process went smoothly, thanks to his clear instructions and follow-up care.

Infant Circumcision:
What Parents Most Want to Know

Is my baby too old for circumcision at 3 - 17 months?

Not at all. This age range is completely routine for us. The approach is adapted for a bigger, more active baby, but it's just as safe and just as gentle as it is for newborns.

Yes. Performed by a specialist using the Pollock Technique™, it's one of the most refined procedures in medicine, with hundreds of thousands of cases worldwide and a very low complication rate. Every procedure here is led by a doctor with specialist training.

Comfort is built into everything we do, with a layered protocol designed to keep your baby settled. Most babies are soothed quickly afterwards with a feed and a cuddle.

The procedure itself is very quick. Your appointment is much longer than that on purpose - so there's time to feed, settle, and ask anything you need before and after.

Most babies heal within a week or so. We'll give you clear aftercare guidance and you'll have 24/7 access to us throughout, plus follow-up visits at no cost.

You'll leave with simple, jargon-free instructions covering cleaning, nappy changes and what's normal during healing. And if anything worries you at any hour, we're a phone call away.

Everything - consultation, procedure, comfort protocol, skin-glue closure, all follow-ups and 24/7 aftercare. One clear figure, no hidden extras.

No. You can book directly with us - no GP referral required and no NHS waiting lists.
