When my son was 12 hours old he was rushed for emergency surgery for a urology problem. The doctor reassured us that he will be able to have his bris on time, but the mohel who is very well known said that it has to be pushed off because he still had a few stitches. According to the doctor it was medically okay but not according to the mohel so he had his bris a few weeks late. Halacha overrides a medical decision.
