About
About Russell Medical
Russell Medical was founded by Dr Terry Russell in the early 1970s and opened as a general practice. In 1993, we transitioned into a dedicated circumcision and tongue-tie clinic.
The team at Russell Medical have performed more than 73,000 circumcisions and 11,000 tongue-tie procedures since its inception and is the longest standing clinic dedicated to performing circumcisions and tongue-tie procedures in Australia.
Our medical centre has built a trusted reputation from delivering a consistent high standard of care, safe and gentle procedures, and quality outcomes for patients.
Our story
Dr Terry Russell (O.A.M) has long been passionate about the advantages of circumcision. During the 1990s, he travelled to Botswana to promote circumcision as a prevention method for STIs and AIDS.
He worked tirelessly promoting the benefits of circumcision and was so pleased once the WHO (World Health Organisation) changed their recommendation back to being pro-circumcision.
Upon his return, Russell Medical soon became dedicated to the practice of circumcision and tongue-tie release.
Pioneers of the Plastibell Technique
Russell Medical was the first in Queensland to utilise the Plastibell Technique for circumcisions. We still use it to this day for its proven health and hygiene benefits.
It simplifies the aftercare process for parents and significantly reduces the chance of post-op infection whilst delivering a uniform result.
We’re here for you
Medical procedures can be quite stressful, particularly when it’s your child’s procedure. We understand.
