In-Home Newborn Circumcision in Columbus, OH
Congratulations on your new arrival. Rather than asking you to pack up your newborn for a clinic appointment, we come to you — bringing calm, professional newborn circumcision care into the comfort of your own Columbus home.
Gentle circumcision care in Columbus
Welcoming a new baby in Columbus is a busy, tender time — and driving a newborn across town for a circumcision doesn’t have to be part of it. Whether you’re settling in near German Village, Clintonville, Upper Arlington, Bexley, Worthington, or out in Dublin or Westerville, our seventh-generation mohel comes to your home, so your baby can be circumcised in the room where they already feel safe.
Many Columbus families deliver at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, Grant Medical Center, or Mount Carmel St. Ann’s before heading home to Franklin County and the surrounding suburbs. In-Home Circumcision is a national practice built around that first week at home: once you’re back from the hospital or birth center, we bring gentle, unhurried newborn circumcision care to your door across the greater Columbus area.
WHY IN-HOME
Calm, private, and close to home
Baby stays with you
No waiting rooms — your newborn stays comfortable in your arms.
In your own home
The whole visit happens in the calm of your own space.
Seventh-generation mohel
Experienced, certified care passed down through seven generations.
BORN OUTSIDE A HOSPITAL
Columbus families who birth at home or at a birth center
Central Ohio families have more out-of-hospital choice than most — alongside OhioHealth Riverside Methodist, Grant Medical Center and Mount Carmel St. Ann's, the region supports the Ohio Birth Center and several established home-birth practices.
The circumcision question is where that choice runs out. A hospital will generally not perform one on a baby it did not deliver, and newborn circumcision falls outside midwifery scope of practice, so your midwife will not either. Most families discover both facts in the same afternoon.
Columbus is a planned visit for us rather than a short-notice one, so call as early as you can — especially for an eighth-day bris, which cannot be moved. We quote travel upfront, before you decide anything.
The directory below lists Columbus birth professionals — the Ohio Birth Center, OhioHealth Riverside Methodist, OhioHealth Grant and Mount Carmel St. Ann's, home-birth practices including C.H.O.I.C.E. Midwives, Ohio Home Birth and Eliza Kay Midwifery, and doulas including The Ohio Doulas, Labor of Love Doula Care and Columbus Birth Support. Central Ohio is one of the easier regions in the state to arrange an out-of-hospital birth, and this is most of the reason why.
