Surgical Training & Expertise
Dr Tipnis completed his medical and surgical training in Mumbai, India. He combines this strong surgical foundation with Australian General Practice standards, emphasizing clinical safety, informed consent, and transparency.
Areas of Clinical Focus
Dr Tipnis uses age-appropriate techniques to optimise safety and recovery:
Plastibell Method (Ages 6–14): Stitch-free technique where the ring falls off naturally.

Procedures are performed under local anaesthetic at our Hoppers Crossing clinic. Sedation options are available at Wyndham Clinic Private Hospital for children or anxious patients when clinically appropriate.
Shaping the Future of Medical Education
In addition to my daily clinical practice, I am dedicated to enhancing the standards of surgical care throughout Australia. I take great pride in my formal collaboration with HealthCert Education, Australia’s leading provider of university-quality-assured medical education.
As an expert presenter and clinical educator for HealthCert Education, I am responsible for designing curricula and demonstrating advanced circumcision techniques to train, mentor, and certify medical professionals across the country.

Host to Clinical Attachments
Due to the precision of the techniques I employ, my clinic serves as an official training hub. In partnership with HealthCert Education, I facilitate Clinical Attachments, allowing practising General Practitioners and surgeons to observe firsthand the PlastiBell and ZSR Stapler circumcision techniques in my operating theatre.
What This Means for Our Patients
By choosing Circ Vas Doctor, patients benefit from the expertise of a practitioner who is recognised by peers. Their procedures are performed by a doctor whom other Australian medical professionals visit to observe, learn, and replicate.

Whether you are a parent seeking a gentle experience for your child, or an adult looking for a discreet, professional, and efficient procedure, my goal is to make your journey seamless. From your initial, confidential consultation through to comprehensive aftercare, I ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and completely supported.
