I have been happy with Johns Hopkins. After my MRI indicated a lesion on the left side plus other negative factors it was rated PiRads 4. I was scheduled for my biopsy with my urologist in my local hospital. They were unable to read the CD and cancelled the biopsy just days before. I called Johns Hopkins on a Friday and sent them all of my information. They triaged me and gave me an appointment for the following Monday! They expedited the biopsy which found cancer on the right side as well.

I am now waiting for my Decipher score and another PSA test to determine a treatment plan. My surgeon is Dr. Rai and my wife and I both like him. He is the principal investigator at JH for a clinical trial using transurethral aquablation, and I am hoping to get accepted into it. The second arm of the trial will be starting shortly.

@keithl56 I hope you get into the trial.
We got notice today that they sent the records to Johns Hopkins. Hopefully, they will triage my husband and he will get in earlier.
