The whole point here is to get it right. Getting those opinions will not take enough time to effect your treatment but may very well effect the rest of your life by giving you options that are best for you.
By the way, don't limit yourself to your state if your insurance gives you any latitude. If the best treatment is out of your area it is still the best treatment. You have a very narrow number of options here so you will not have that many places to go. Just try and make sure you cover all of them the best you can.
