orthopedic animal surgeon

Question
hilary my lab/shep mix has hip dysplasia and i wanted to know if you could recommend a good doctor to do her surgery. i am from dallas and the only dr. is  at the animal ortho surgery clinic on trinity mills and it will cost 3500.00 a hip.  of course i want a good job done but isn't there anyone one else that you know of that could do it a little cheaper than 7000.00?
                                         thanks,susan

Answer
Hi Susan!  Unfortunately, I'm from PA, and although I am aware of many orthopedic surgeon specialists throughout the country, I am unaware of any in Dallas.  I wish so much I could help.  I actually work with an orthopedic specialist, so if you could bare with me, I will talk to him on Wednesday and see if he can recommend anyone.  Unfortunately, at this point, that's all I can say!  I hope we can find someone for you because $7,000 is quite alot for this surgery!  I will get back to you by Thursday.  I hope that's okay!
Hang in there and I will talk to you soon!
