I see you are in NY and yes here it is very expensive to see a specialist. I went through something similar with an oncologists. It was $200 just for a consultation with no tests done.
Did you go to Blue Pearl or Animal Medical Center. Those are the two hospitals I am aware of for board certified ortho surgeons.
Humane Society is also a great resource I just get nervous when they ask for money up front before even being seen over the phone.
