Can you pay a financial advisor to review your current advisors plan?

Is it a thing to pay a financial advisor to review your current advisors plan to make sure you couldn't be doing better/more with your money?
For background, we have used the same person for 15 years. We started with her when we had a couple thousand saved to now, where we have a few million. Since we don't know what we don't know, we're wondering if there's more that we could be doing and we're in our mid-50's now so retirement is getting closer.

We use a financial advisor who simply charges by the hour for advice. You could find a person like that. Most likely the growth in your investments has to do with the stock market and not any magical advice provided by an expensive advisor.

Of course you can. What kind of question is this? You have a financial advisor but don’t know what a financial advisor does?

This is actually a simple question. Look at your performance, did you beat SPY or not? Look over 1, 3, 5 years. If not, is there a reason, like you wanted a conservative bent bond like investments ? Then look at what you paid for that performance, 1-1.5% ?
