How to Find Fundoplication Re-do Surgeon?

My wife has Barrett’s and grade C esophagitis. She had a Fundoplication last December 2022. Three months after surgery, her GI scoped her and said the wrap was not as robust as he was expecting (looked like a Toupet, not a 360), and that she still had significant esophagitis. Since then, we’ve had several more Dr. appointments and tests. Last week a different surgeon scoped her and said her wrap was both loose and too low. He said he could do a re-do that would help her reflux. He was recommended by her GI (as was the first guy) and he says he has a lot of experience doing fundoplications and re-dos. But how can we be sure? We’re certainly not going back to the first guy. And we are willing to travel. Anyone have recommendations?

I appreciate your reply Sharon. The first surgery was done at a teaching hospital, so I'm not sure that's the right metric. Although we were assured that no resident or fellow would actively participate in the first surgery, that is a concern we have using a teaching hospital.

You're absolutely right, "there is no way to know"... and it's frustrating that there is no reliable rating of surgeons and doctors, so you're left with referrals and recommendations and word-of-mouth.
