[quote=Anonymous]We were told there were essentially two orthopedic vets in the DC area who do ACL surgeries. One in Frederick, MD and one in Annapolis Junction, MD. We opted for the latter and paid the $4k (we were told the one in Frederick would be about $500 cheaper but didn't have the same level of expertise). The surgery was successful but bear in mind that there is greater then a 50% chance that the other ACL will be torn within a few years (which just happened to us and we are scheduled for the second surgery next week). What's painful is is that the procedure takes less then a half hour and the vet facility (which is huge) is decked out like the Ritz Carlton. I guess you get what you pay for but there are some super rich ortho vets out there....[/quote]
