Troy Stoeber

Troy Stoeber, MD, is an Oregon-based intactivist pediatric physician.

Dr. Stoeber has kindly provided a video 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 it did 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 tissue.
Dr. Stoeber discusses the requirement to restrain the baby boy during a circumcision amputation, but fails to mention that the device used is the circumstraint.
