FACTS
Keyona Davis gave birth to Kyren Davis on December 29, 2005, at Schumpert Hospital. The next day, Dr. Glenda Johnson, Ms. Davis’s ob-gyn doctor, circumcised Kyren.
Over the course of the next year, Ms. Davis became concerned about the appearance of her son’s penis. She raised these concerns with her son’s pediatrician, Dr. Henson, but was reassured that everything was normal.
