Frequently asked questions
1. Does The Gentle Clinic accept insurance?
We do not currently accept insurance. However, if your insurance provides coverage for the procedure, we will print out a “super bill” for you to submit to your insurance company so you can file a claim and be directly reimbursed by your insurance company.
If you have state insurance, please call (425) 610-9426 for pricing.
2. Is the follow up appointment included in the total cost?
Yes, the total cost includes the cost of the procedure, the consultation and the follow up appointment.
$550 newborn circumcision
$725 newborn frenectomy
3. When should I schedule my baby’s procedure?
Our clinic performs newborn circumcisions from day 1 of life to 6 weeks of life. However, the earlier the procedure is performed, the baby feels less discomfort, heals faster, and experiences less bleeding.
Our clinic performs newborn frenectomy (tongue or lip tie) from day 1 of life to 3 months of life.
3. If the procedure cannot be performed, do we get our money back?
Yes! If the procedure cannot be performed safely, you will not be responsible for any costs and will be refunded the total amount paid.
4. I had to cancel my appointment, do I get my $100 deposit back?
Your deposit is refundable up to 24 hours prior to your appointment. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment time or “no show” your appointment, your deposit will not be refunded.
