Solo practitioner allowed for two GBP in different cities?

[petrakraft]

Those are the facts:
A doctor has his main practice in a small town where the clients come to see him.
Additionally he works (rhinoplasty surgery) in a hospital in a nearby big town (with a lot of competition) where he wants to be find for local searches. He is listed as well on the hospital's website as practitioner.

Right now he has just one GBP as a doctor with the address of his practice in the small town.

Would it be ok to
a) create an additional GBP for the practice with the address in the small town and
b) to change the address for the doctors GBP listing to the hospitals address of the big city where he performs his operations - and where he wants to be able to rank in the local pack?

I just want to be sure not to cause a suspension of the GBP.

Considering how flaky things are at the moment making those changes could well result in a suspension.

The current GBP is the right one for his local practice.

Create a new GBP for them at the hospital. It would need a different name, address, telephone and everything so as to not trigger an alarm at the Googleplex. Verification may be a problem unless he has an office with his name on the door at the hospital.

I mean, I wouldn't create a new GBP just because of anything in the google environment as implied by fisicx.

I would create a new GBP because that is clearly the appropriate way to go about it. If he operates out of two locations, and especially if his services/hours are relatively distinct in these locations, then he should have two GBPs anyway,
