Some practices have been named for which DoNoHarm will file a report.
They include:
* Solicitation for medically unnecessary non-therapeutic surgery such as infant [[circumcision]]. This is a highly unethetical practice and may also be unlawful.<ref>{{REFjournal

* [[Risks and complications]] of genital surgery are commonplace and usually attributed to malpractice.
* [[Forced foreskin retraction]] is extremely harmful to boys and unfortunately is a very common practice in the [[United States]]. It frequently occurs during a visit to an ignorant pediatrician.
The three items above have been cited as examples of issues for which DoNoHarm would file a complaint, but it does not exclude other occurrences.
