Whomever you pick, please consider a younger, more progressive thinking and "up to date" physician, including one who is skilled in the use of MRI. Presuming you are male and hoping that you may never need it, MRI-guided biopsies of the prostate (i.e. screen for prostate cancer) are much, much more accurate than ultrasound-guided biopsies. My initial (older) urologist used the latter and missed my cancer. It was only when I switched to the former that it was detected, which probably saved my life. Good luck.
