I'm thinking the same thing about this urologist.

When I met with him before the biopsy he told me that I would have to have someone there with me when he did the biopsy, which is a problem because I do not have anyone to travel with me. When I told him that he said "no problem, we can just do it in my office". I know biopsy's used to be done that way, and probably still are in some places, but I am not having a biopsy without anesthesia. Could he even do an MRI guided biopsy in his office?

Fortunately his intern came back into the room and said I could come alone if I stayed in the Care Hotel on their campus, so that's what I did.

Mine was done this way in 2021. Not enjoyable, but, only a few minutes. (although it seemed like a long time....LOL)

hoover 58 Why on earth would you need anesthesia for a simple MTI Fusion Biopsy ? Hopefully a Transperineal not a Transrectal one . And yes many Urologists have a small clinic where they perform these biopsies , at least they do in Canada -- Toronto , for example .
