I am desperately looking for a doctor who would do a needle breast biopsy in his or her office. Having it done at a hospital is cost prohibitive. New Jersey and Philadelphia areas- any known leads please?

Hello Zaraza, this forum tends to run slow but I wanted to respond to your post. I honestly do not know of any dr that would be willing to do a needle biopsy in his/her office. Personally I don't think would be possible for many various reasons. A biopsy such as this is not like removing a mole or something along that line. I am gathering you do not have insurance. I would be checking with all of my hospitals to see if they offer compassionate care, meaning low income & no insurance.

I do hope you can get help with this.

Hi zaraza, I hope by now you have found a Dr, but in case you havent I have a wonderful breast surgeon. I live in central NJ in Hamilton area. My breast surgeon is Dr Lisa Allen at Capital Health in Hopewell NJ. I was treated for breast cancer there in 2014. She is a wonderful, caring, very informative Dr. Best wishes to you
