Can A GP Do A Biopsy?
I went to the dentist about a few spots on my cheek, she is referring me to an out of town surgeon to do a biopsy, I can t afford it and have no health insurance. Rather than going to the Oral Surgeon can I not just go to my doctor and request a biopsy on the areas?.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The biopsy in the intra oral site should be performed by a dental surgeon or a oral maxillofacial surgeon since, they are well versed with the oral cavity.
If i am your treating doctor, i would suggest you to get it done under a oral surgeon.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
