Adult Circumcision, what form of anesthesia is used
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.
