Dermatology: Which hospital? Uk?

I'm struggling with acne and scarring and after 4 months of pointless prescription antibiotics my GP finally referred me to a dermatologist.
I received a letter today confirming my referral and I now have to chose 1 of the 6 hospitals they suggested for me.
I know nothing about those hospitals and the reviews about them are only about their maternity sections etc, nothing about dermatology!
I dismissed the first four as the waiting lines are over 4 months. So, I narrowed the choice down to two: Hospital A has a waiting time of about 11 days to 2 months, Hospital B has a waiting time of 3 months. Both hospitals are equally rated however B has a bit more positive reviews. What would you chose?

Extra question: Has anyone been on Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) in the Uk? Was it hard to convince your dermatologist to prescribe it to you?

All Dermatologists have the same training, some move between hospitals during the week. So choose the hospital with the shortest waiting list.

I suggest you apply to all the hospitals, and go to all the appointments. They are not that organized as to find you out. Accutane is not good it will stop you growing. If you are female they will be very reluctant to prescribe it as it causes birth defects.
