Adult Male Circumcision: Dr. Harold Reed

Hello Doctor Reed,

It makes me relieved to have found your site and to know that there are circumcision specialists.

I underwent circumcision 7 weeks and I’m very dissatisfied with the results. Apparently the suturing was poorly performed, resulting in bumps that (to me at least) resemble warts. There’s also an area
around the scar line that folds inward (as seem in picture DSCN0474) when the penis is erect.

As for me it’s a long way to drop by for just a consultation (I live in Brazil), I was wondering if you could take a look at attached pictures and give me an idea of what I should expect from a revision
surgery. Can I have a good looking scar line again?

The pictures were taken today, 48 days after the procedure.

Thank you,

Alexildo

Good morning Alexildo

Your photos have been reviewed and several thoughts come to mind. Until a doctor-patient relationship has been established, I do not wish to critique what you and I both see.

Fair to say you need to wait a good 3 to 4 months after your original procedure (adult circumcision) before a revision can be done. Your situation may improve somewhat without my intervention, but I am not sure, even then you will be happy unless a touch up is done.

Please initiate a phone consultation with our office. Puckers are often the result of widely placed, overly tight large caliber sutures, and regretfully may persist unless revised.

With kindest regards,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE DO YOU TAKE AND HOW MUCH IS? DO YOU PUT YOU PATIENTS UNDER OR ASLEEP? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES?? DO YOU IT IN UR OFFICE OR HOSPITAL? Luigi

Good afternoon Luigi,

Thank you for your interest in what we do. While we only accept Medicare and most types of Blue Cross, Blue Shield, we will be happy to fill out your insurance form, for maximal reimbursement to you.

Virtually 99% of our patients are done under local and feel no pain whatsoever. You will be done in a Quad A inspected, Florida state registered surgical facility appended to our office.  We take 55 minutes to complete a cosmetic adult circumcision.  This is not the type of operation I want to rush through.   Our fee is 250 for your consultation,  and circumcision to include local anesthesia, use of the facility and any followup care I provide is 1,500.

How does that sound?

We have performed over 5500 cosmetic circumcisions in the past 35 years and usually do several cases every week.

We do ask that you stay for one, ideally 2 days at the Baltic Hotel (advanced tourist class) and I will see you there daily.

You could return to an office environment 3 days after circumcision. Our 2 layered wrap of soft conforming gauze and Coban will provide comfort and reduce swelling.

With every best wish,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

I have a really tight foreskin, I’d like to either fix that or do a circumcision surgery… but I am afraid of the way my pennis will look like after the surgery.  Michael

Good afternoon Michael,

Thank you for your interest in what we do. Anticipate a beautiful result, just the way you want it. You will have a hand held mirror to verify that. This is your adult circumcision. See examples of our work on penisdoctor.com
