I found a very capable urologist who performed a fusion guided transperineal biopsy using a MRI from a few months earlier, so I wanted to pass his information along to anyone who want to avoid a transrectal biopsy and living here in Texas.

The doctor's name is Dr Steven Canfield who is located in Houston at the Memorial Hermann center. His number office number is 832-325-7280.

Hi ,I am scheduled to have the same procedure ( in San Francisco).

Did you have general or local anesthesia for your biopsy?

I chose general anesthesia (propofol) when mine was done last Friday.

No food or water after midnight the night before the procedure and that was not all that easy.

I am glad I avoided the potential for an unpleasant procedure. I will say that I woke up quite cognitive. No drowsy side effects at all.
