NEW! – Same Day Consultation and Circumcision Service
We offer a convenient and cost-saving option of having a same-day consultation and circumcision. This saves you an extra visit and associated costs of travel, missing work, and saves you time. In addition, we offer this service on weekends to make it even more convenient if you are traveling from another city/state or country.
NEW! – Circumcision with ShangRing in New York City
Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger at New York Urology Specialists is the first urologist in the United States to offer innovative ShangRing circumcision. He traveled to China to learn this innovative technique. Circumcision with ShangRing is faster than traditional circumcision and is associated with a shorter recovery and fewer side effects for many men.
NEW! – Circumcision Under Local Anesthesia or Full Sedation Anesthesia in New York City
While most patients prefer to have local anesthesia (awake with the penis numb); some men prefer to be completely asleep during the procedure. New York Urology Specialists has achieved accreditation for office-based surgery from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), which demonstrates a commitment to safety and the highest standards in sterility. Please note that same-day surgery is only available under local anesthesia. If you desire IV sedation anesthesia (going to sleep), you will need to have an initial appointment before the procedure can be scheduled. Men over age 45 and those with medical problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or severe obesity would need to see their primary care doctor. Your primary care doctor may need to do additional testing to make sure that anesthesia can be safely administered.

Circumcision and Frenuloplasty
Each circumcision is individualized to the needs and desires of the patient. Circumcision can be performed with or without penile frenuloplasty. Most men choose to have frenuloplasty performed at the time of circumcision as it improves the appearance of the penis. Frenuloplasty can also be performed without circumcision. We also perform frenuloplasty revision surgery.
