Q: Where to get lidocaine injection prostate biopsy in New York City?

I need to get a prostate biopsy and I've read that pain can be lessened with lidocaine injection.

1) How would I locate a doctor who is skilled in this?  I call doctors trial and error, but most don't do it (preferring lidocaine lube) and it's important that the person be skilled in it (see 2 below)

2) What is prevalence of post-biopsy ED compared to non-injection biopsy?  I've read they're the same.
