New surgeon or hospital?

Hello I didn't know where to put this
I suffer from severe sleep apnea and asthma and nerve problems in my arm.
I've had two operations in my nose. 1 last year as well. I am requiring another revision operation this year again.
I feel the surgeon has already had 2 attempts and it's gone worse now. He had another consultation with me and said he needs to do an op again as it wasn't successful.
Is there a way I can check other hospitals in different hospitals? And research on surgeons ?
As I can't keep going back and getting the same thing done ?
Thanks for any help.

You can ask for a second opinion, or you could always pay to see a consultant privately see what they think, but keep in mind consultants rarely if ever go against each other.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
