Meet the Mohel, Dr. Keith Brill

dr_brill

Dr. Keith Brill has performed thousands of circumcisions.   His warm bedside manner combined with his up to date knowledge of the art and science of medicine have helped make him one of Nevada’s most sought after physicians.  He is a Board Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist (Ob/Gyn physician) who has the distinct privilege of taking care of expectant mothers, delivering babies (at all hours!) and performing the unique tradition of the Jewish people for newborn sons—the Bris (Brit Milah ceremony).

Dr. Brill grew up and went to high school in Melville, New York on Long Island.  He attended the South Huntington Jewish center and learned to love his Jewish heritage and tradition from his hero, his father, Jack M. Brill (may his soul be bound up in the eternal bond of life).

From an early age, Dr. Brill knew he wanted to become a physician. He was accepted into medical school directly out of high school as part of the Honors Program in Medicine at the University of Miami in Miami, Florida.  He has never regretted this decision.

He returned to the northeast for his OB/GYN residency training, where he learned how to perform circumcisions on newborn babies starting on the first day of his internship at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia in 1995.

Dr. Brill moved to Las Vegas in 1999, when he was assigned as an active duty Air Force Officer and physician at Nellis Air Force Base.  He served as Chairman of OB/GYN and finished his military service holding the rank of Major.

Dr. Brill has been in private practice in Las Vegas and Henderson since 2003.   He is extremely active in the local community—he has served as Chairman of OB/GYN at Spring Valley Hospital in Las Vegas from 2006 to 2015.  He has served as the President of the Clark County Medical Society and sits on the Council of the Nevada State Medical Association.  He is the Chair of the Nevada Section of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

He holds the appointments of Clinical Assistant Professor, both at the University of Nevada School of Medicine as well as Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Dr. Brill is also a proud graduate of the 2015 Leadership Las Vegas Program, through the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce.

He was nominated to attend the Brit Kodesh training program by Rabbi Jeremy Wiederhorn (formerly from Midbar Kodesh Temple in Henderson) and Rabbi Felipe Goodman (from Temple Beth Sholom in Summerlin).   He attended and completed this Conservative based mohel training, which was supervised by the Rabbinical Assembly and hosted at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City.  He was able to catch some Broadway shows while he attended this training!

Dr. Brill met his wife, Daniella, while they both worked at Nellis Air Force Base.  He has three wonderful children—his daughter Kourtney, and his two sons Tobey and Sidney.  He is proud to call Las Vegas and Henderson home.

Dr. Brill would be honored to meet with you to discuss your upcoming Bris and to answer all of your questions.  He loves the tradition of Brit Milah and the privilege of serving as a mohel for the community.
