'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''', M.D., is an [[intactivist]] physician.
==Early life and education==
Dr. Stoeber was reared in the Midwestern state of Iowa. Unnecessary, harmful, infant [[circumcision]] has long been extremely popular in the Midwest section of the [[United States]]. There is about an 89 percent chance that he was [[circumcised]] as an infant.<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref> If that is the case, then he would qualify for the [[circumcised doctors]] list.
 
Dr. Stoeber completed his undergraduate degree in biology at [https://www.creighton.edu/ Creighton University] in Omaha, Nebraska. He remained at Creighton for [https://www.creighton.edu/medicine medical school] before receiving specialty training in pediatrics at the [https://www.kumc.edu/school-of-medicine.html University of Kansas School of Medicine — Wichita].
 
==Personal life==
Dr. Stoeber has lived in Oregon for more than two decades. Dr. Stoeber and his wife, Robin, have 7 children between them.  In his free time, he enjoys exercising, traveling, reading, and volunteering in community activities.
 
==Parental education==
Dr. Stoeber has kindly provided an informative video about [[circumcision of the newborn]] for parents, however there are some issues:
* Dr. Stoeber refers to the AAP Circumcision Policy Statement that was published in 2012. That statement was heavily criticized by many commentors. It was an embarrassment to the [[AAP]], so it was allowed to expire, which occurred in 2017. It does not represent the present position of the AAP, which now has no official policy on [[circumcision]].
* Dr. Stoeber calls the [[foreskin]] "normal skin", but he fails to mention the intensive innervation of the [[ridged band]], that makes it [[Erogenous sensation of the foreskin| erogenous tissue]].
* Dr. Stoeber discusses the requirement to restrain the baby boy during the circumcision [[amputation]], but fails to mention that the device used is the [[circumstraint]].
* Dr. Stoeber asserts that parents have a right to grant consent for [[circumcision of the newborn| circumcision of a newborn boy]]. This is apparently based on a claim made by the Ad Hoc Task Force of the AAP in 1975.<ref name="aap1975">{{REFjournal

* Dr. Stoeber makes no mention of the multiple [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions_of_the_foreskin|  physiological functions of the foreskin]], so one wonders if he is truly informed. This information is relevant and deserves mention.

Dr. Stoeber has announced a book about the harm of [[child circumcision]], but it has not yet been published, so it cannot be evaluated.
