Prostate transrectal biopsy

My transrectal biopsy is scheduled for Feb 7th. I've read enough about this method to convince me to not go through with it. One of the Mayo urologists in an article said he does not even do transrectal biopsies anymore due to the risk of infection. I am in the Wash DC metro area, does anyone know who does transperineal biopsy there? Can anyone tell me how long it took to get an appointment for their transperineal biopsy at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN ? Then once completed and I've flown home will I be then flying roundtrip multiple times to Rochester MN for one or more treatment/s? Is there a Mayo contact person you'd suggest I speak with?

I belive that Johns Hopkins is a recognized center of excellence for prostate cancer.

Main campus in Baltimore of course.

And there are JH facilities in the DC area and outside Baltimore City that provide some of the care that you may need.
