Hi - what's most important is that the hypnosis is gut-directed or gut-specific. If it is, then results should be very comparable. For Mike Mahoney, he's got his patient results for in-patient therapy comparable to within 1-2% of the results patients get from his audio program.
Is your local doc on the USA register of IBS hypnotherapists? I'd ask to make sure, and ask how he/she was trained, by whom, by what protocol. They need to be associated with this IBS training program if they're in the US. If they're not, I'd definitely go with Mike's program instead.
If you decide to interview your therapist (and you definitely should before making any commitment) check out all the questions to ask in the IBS hypnosis section of this site. You can just print them out and take with you.
Also compare prices, and how easily you'd be able to commit to travel to the local appointments. Consistency is key, so if you think it might be hard to get out of the house for the appointments, then listening at home might be a better choice.
Investigate a little further, and you should be able to make a good decision here. Either way you go, hypnosis should make a world of difference for you, especially with resolving the anxiety related symptoms. Honestly, it's such a great approach I wish everyone would try it!
