The bris

In three weeks' time I will be bringing my 20 month old son home from Siberia. He definitely needs a bris! Everybody I have talked to about the subject has an opinion and I have had recommendations ranging from a female paediatric urologist/moyel to a traditional Orthodox moyel. I want this procedure done in a hospital (Mt. Sinai has facilities, I think) and by an MD. But I have been told that unless I have an Orthodox bris my son will always be restricted in his life; ie., he will not be able to marry in Israel or marry an Orthodox girl. Certainly, Conservative and Reform moyels exist and are legitimate?
