Worth switching from local urologist to Dr. Trost’s clinic?

I had my first set of injections at a local urologist's office.  They're one of the few near me listed in the "more than 20 Xiaflex injections in the past year" page on the manufacturer's website, but the doctors seem a step behind Dr. Trost.  For example, while they recommended using Restorex, they just said "look it up and use it" with no other directions.  Initial injection was done flaccid, they just felt for the plaque rather than centering on the bend.  And none of the famed (and a bit scary) manual modeling after the second shot looking for a pop.  They had a different doc do the second shot, which I wasn't expecting, and while I was looking away I don't think they injected in exactly the same place as the fist doc. I have a phone consult with someone from Dr. Trost's office next week, they're in my insurance coverage and I could afford to travel there.  Anyone else here faced the decision of whether or not to switch in the middle of a cycle?

I would not hesitate to give Dr Trost a try. His reputation precedes him as a real game-changer when dealing with peyronies! He is also a very kind human being!

I'm on my way in early February! Switching up the insurance precertification was a pain but it's all taken care of.  Fingers crossed.
