My wife is 38 weeks pregnant and the baby is still in breech position?

Doctors don't always know best. They might think its best by playing it safe or he may have his motives for wanting to do it his way. But baby still may change his position up until your due date. I would recommend getting a second opinion or if there is no other major reason just waiting until due date to make that decision and give baby some time to make up his mind.
