FLA treatment centers in the Northeast?

[Vayshe]

Does anyone know of treatment centers in the DC to Boston corridor that specialize in focal laser ablation? I've only been able to really find the Houston and Delray Beach clinics, but hoping for something closer to home.

Thanks, I have reviewed it in the past and am considering it in my decision-making process. The most recent data continues to be mixed in the balance between side effects risks (lower) vs recurrence risks (higher), but I'm looking to balance those in a way that I think whole gland treatment doesn't.

So far, focal ablation side effects are comparable to those seen with whole-gland SBRT. While focal therapy proponents claim side effects are fewer, that is not what the data show:
