Omg Luxating Patella - Need Advice???

OK, I just back from the Specialist for Roxy. She does have Luxating Patella in both rear legs. Grade III in one and Grade II to Grade III on the other. The specialist recommends surgery. He does one leg at a time so that each can heal properly. And he is definatley high on drugs b/c he wants approx. $3000.00 per leg. Can you believe it? I almost S@$& in my pants when they gave me the estimate. I definately think Roxy should have surgery at some point, but I am going to have to do some research and possibly find a Specialist OUTSIDE of New York who is skilled but also not going to charge me an arm and a leg!

Any suggestions and/or recommendations are great appreciated!
