According to an article in Pediatric News, "Thirty-five percent of
pediatricians in the United States are routinely performing
circumcisions, compared with 60% of family physicians and 70% of
obstetricians, a national survey found."
http://www.cirp.org/library/procedure/childs.
Interestingly, "Of the 35% of pediatricians who circumcise, 71% use
anesthetics, while only 56% of family physician circumcisers and 25%
of obstetrician circumcisers use anesthetic."
