Default Torn ACL & Luxating Patella

Hello, Everyone.

Our 2 1/2 year old Yorkie tried to jump on the couch, missed, and may have torn her ACL. In addition, she has luxating patellas in both knees.
The emergency vet said they can likely fix the ACL and the patella at the same time.
In fact, the Preexisting LP likely led to the ACL tear.

We are waiting to talk to our vet and his surgeon. We don't mind the cost as long as it's done right.

Just looking for any advice/info from anyone who can respond. We are in NYC, if anyone has a recommended surgeon.

Thanks in advance for ANY advice/info.
