Dr. Mohamed Slim
Dr. Gordon Kee
Doctor Mohamed Slim, MD is a well known and respected physician with many years of experience, and he has performed over 25 000 circumcisions to date in his medical career.
Dr. Slim completed his medical training at the Université de Montreal and has been a family medicine resident at the Hôpital Sacré-Coeur de Montréal. He has gained his extensive experience in circumcision practicing in Montreal as well as here in Ottawa.
After his research on circumcision methods in use today in Canada and around the world, Doctor Slim chose to have extensive training with Doctor Neil Pollock, one of the world’s foremost authorities on circumcision.
Dr. Pollock’s research into developing a quick and virtually pain free approach to circumcision has been recognized in the UK and Australia, as well as here in North America.
Dr. Slim is proud to bring Dr. Pollock’s techniques to the Capital Region, and his clinic has grown as a result.
Doctor Gordon Kee graduated from McMaster University Medical School in 1999, and completed his residency at the University of Ottawa from 1999 to 2002. Since then, he has established himself as a full-time ER physician in Ottawa.
In 2021, Dr. Kee trained with Dr. Slim in the Pollock Technique™, a circumcision procedure used in all Gentle Procedures locations. In 2022, he established the Ottawa-based Gentle Procedures Clinic.

Let us provide quality medical services for you and your baby in a caring environment.
We believe that there is nothing better for ensuring a baby’s comfort than the presence of a parent. Your baby is always with you, and you are welcome and encouraged to be in the private room during the procedure. Parents are never asked to wait in another room while the circumcision is being done. Soft music is played creating a calm, relaxing environment for your baby.
Babies, if they remain awake during the procedure, are soothed by a pacifier made up of natural ingredients. At Gentle Procedures, it is not uncommon for babies to sleep right through their circumcision. We really are gentle.
We recognize that warmth is part of a comfortable environment for your baby. The procedure room will be kept warm and is equipped with a local thermostat so that each family can create the right temperature for their baby.

Or For Any Questions
Adult circumcision is undertaken by our clients for a variety of reasons. Some men get themselves circumcised at an adult age for personal or cosmetic reasons. Other seek relief from an overly tight foreskin (phimosis) or other conditions that can be addressed with an adult circumcision procedure.
Whatever the reason a mature man seeks to get circumcised (at any age), we are pleased to offer the adult circumcision care at Gentle Procedures Ottawa circumcision clinic. Our circumcision doctor performs adult circumcision on a daily basis and our proven Pollock Technique™ can deliver the desired cosmetic results with the minimum of discomfort.
Importantly – a general anaesthetic is not required – and this significantly reduces the risk and complexity of the procedure. With the use of multiple local anaesthetic only, we eliminate the need for a hospital setting and are able to perform the circumcision procedure for adult age males in our circumcision clinic on an in-office-procedure basis.
If you are considering getting yourself circumcised, please contact us for a consultation. We recommend a consultation appointment with Doctor Slim prior to your final decision on whether you want to get circumcised so that you can get answers to your specific questions.
As with any surgery, there are some risks, so it is necessary that you do your research and make a fully informed decision. We will be pleased to respond to your questions about the procedure and to confirm on appointment availabilities and fees. You can call us during clinic hours, or use the Circumcision Cost Confirmation form or Appointment Request Form to take the next step.
Thanks for your attention.
Each year, there are millions of circumcisions performed in worldwide. Newborn circumcision, when performed properly, is quick and safe. The medical benefits accrue from infancy through old age.
It is Dr. Slim and Dr. Kee’s position that when parents are making a decision about circumcision they should be advised of the present state of medical knowledge about its benefits and harms. The parental decision may ultimately be based on personal, religious or cultural factors.
For more information on the risks and benefits of circumcision, please visit our Media page to find links to original policy statements and studies – including a 2016 paper published in the Journal of Urology which concludes that the benefits of circumcision may have been previously understated. The authors (including Dr. Neil Pollock) find that circumcision affords important benefits to men throughout their lives.

Adult circumcision is one of our specialties.
An infant circumcision is often undertaken for cultural and religious reasons, and there can be health benefits as well.
Our Muslim clients circumcise their babies in accordance with their traditions, and many other families simply choose to carry on a family tradition, or seek the health benefits that may come from male circumcision.
The potential benefits of circumcision include:
It reduces the risk of urinary tract infection.
It reduces the risk of penile infection also called balanoposthitis.
It eliminates the need for circumcision later in life when up to 6% of boys will require a circumcision because of various problems.
It reduces the risk of getting some sexually transmitted diseases including Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and AIDS (HIV).
It reduces the risk of penile cancer and cervical cancer in a man’s female partners.
Circumcised men have less risk of sexual dysfunction later in life.
They may be concerned that they could be doing a procedure on an otherwise healthy baby that may cause pain or complications.
They wonder whether their child will wish that he had not been circumcised at a later time.
Some parents can be less interested in following cultural and religious traditions.
They are unsure of the medical reasons in favor of a circumcision.

Circumcision has been the topic of debate for many decades. In the past, procedures were deemed unnecessary and stressful by some, but times have changed. Due to medical advancements, Doctors can now conduct virtually pain free circumcision procedures which are quick, painless, effective and successful and the benefits of circumcision are more widely understood.
There are now many significant studies and associated evidence linking circumcision to improved health and lower incidences of serious and deadly diseases. The evidence of the benefits of circumcision, coupled with medical advancements and improved circumcision techniques has resulted in increased public awareness, acceptance and a vast increase in the demand for infant circumcision.
The medical team at the Gentle Procedures Clinic only use the Pollock Technique™, which is very quick and virtually pain free and is associated with low complication rates. Our Doctors and staff are all educated and trained in the procedure and benefits of circumcision, and are dedicated to making your experience with us as pleasant as possible.
There are some potential health benefits to male infant circumcision and there are also some reasons not to circumcise baby boys. Our recommendation is that you make an informed a decision as possible, and the answer to the question of why to circumcise that you come to will be unique to you and your family.
Circumcision is part of both Judaism and Islam, and many Christians and people of other religious backgrounds also choose circumcision for health and cosmetic reasons, or to continue family tradition.
Many men are circumcised, as infant circumcision was routinely done on male babies in the 1970’s for health reasons.
