Anyone know a good Uro in the Bay Area who uses the "standard' PSA test?

I've posted on this before, since I have decided to switch to a lab or doc that uses the "standard" PSA test which results in a report of "<0.1" when "undetectable. Thanks for any suggestions on docs who you know that use this type of test.

I think all you have to do is ask the urologist to do order a standard PSA vs. the ultra-sensitive. The standard PSA is a common prostate cancer screening test available in any moderate-sized lab. The reporting is to the nearest tenth. That's what I have done, and my urologist has used three different labs since my first post-op PSA.
