Gentle Beginnings is an Atlanta children’s surgical care practice focused on common procedures for newborns and young children. Founded by Farrah Patti, FNP-BC, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with more than 21 years of experience in pediatric care, the practice aims to combine hospital-level safety standards with a calm, family-centered setting. Its services include infant circumcision, lip-tie release, tongue-tie release, and correction of infant penile adhesions.

Procedures are designed to be brief and gentle, with comfort-focused pain management and parents kept close to their child. The practice notes that lip- and tongue-tie releases may help address feeding, latch, speech, and oral-development concerns, while penile adhesion correction includes guidance intended to prevent recurrence. Gentle Beginnings offers same-day appointments when available, a secure patient portal for paperwork and records, child-friendly recovery suites, transparent pricing, and after-care guidance.

Located on Paces Ferry Road in Atlanta, the clinic sees patients by appointment, Monday through Friday, and provides families with direct access to scheduling and follow-up support
