Many factors: Residencies vary in length.  Primary care fields generally have shorter residencies while surgical fields are 5 years or greater in length.  As a doc practices longer, one gains in experience so that helps in overall patient care.  In choosing a doctor, training is important, but consider one's bedside manner and reputation amongst other patients as well.  Abms board certification is key.

Second opinions: The reason for the second opinion often guides who does the legwork of arranging the consult and with whom. Many patients and families benefit from consulting an expert at another center, which may also include (or be limited to) review of xrays, biopsy slides or other studies. Your present doctor can facilitate, but it often works best when you inform them of your interest, your reasons, and go.
