When choosing a medical practitioner for a deeply personal procedure like circumcision, clinical competence, qualifications, and seasoned experience are paramount. At our clinic, we believe that true expertise goes beyond basic surgical execution, it requires a holistic, patient-centred approach that minimises anxiety and prioritises long-term well-being.
The clinical expertise of our lead surgeon, Dr Ashraf Saddik, is rooted in a rigorous and extensive educational background. Trained by some of the finest medical experts in Australia and overseas, he has spent decades honing his skills under the mentorship of renowned global practitioners.
What truly sets our practice apart is Dr Saddik's unique combination of formal credentials, which allows him to treat the whole patient rather than just the surgical site:
Surgical Training & Experience: Decades of high-volume, hands-on experience across all age brackets.
Anaesthesiology Degree: Advanced knowledge of pain pathways, ensuring maximum comfort during the procedure.
Master’s Degree in Psychopharmacology & Advanced Diploma in CBT: A deep psychological understanding that enables him to build a tailored, calm environment, actively reducing the situational anxiety often associated with surgery.

Innovation in Patient Comfort: The Saddik Protocol & ZSR Technique
Innovation in Patient Comfort: The Saddik Protocol & ZSR Technique
True medical expertise naturally leads to innovation. To make the surgical journey as smooth and stress-free as possible, Dr Saddik has introduced two key clinical advancements to our Melbourne practice:
We adhere strictly to the Saddik Protocol, a unique local anaesthetic method that combines a pudendal nerve block and a ring block into a single skin-piercing spot. This technique minimises discomfort at the initial injection site while providing complete, reliable numbing throughout the care window.

The Sutureless ZSR Technique
The Sutureless ZSR Technique
Dr Saddik is proud to utilise the advanced ZSR technique - a modern, safe, and virtually bloodless method suitable for children, teenagers, and mature adults. Performed without the use of a traditional surgical scalpel or standard stitches, this precision technique bonds the skin edges uniformly. The result is minimal swelling, an excellent aesthetic outcome, and exceptionally fast healing within just a few days.
