Default Recommendations needed - good ortho (ACL) surgeon in So Cal

I posted a message last month about my 4 1/2 year old lab, who
tore a ligament. I've been trying CM for the past month and, though she
is a bit better, she still avoids bearing weight on the injured leg and
I've
decided to take her in for ACL surgery.

I live in Ventura County and have seen a few vets up here, but I'd
appreciate
referrals to other good surgeons in So Cal by others whose dogs have
had
this operation. I'm looking for a vet with a good reputation, lots of
experience
with this procedure, and who'll be more interested in my dog's well
being than
the financial benefit he'll derive. Thus far, I've been quoted $2 to
$4k, whereas
other folks online have mentioned prices significantly lower (perhaps
in other
parts of the country), with good results. I'll spend what it takes, but
want to
avoid paying more than I need to, if there's no difference in the end
result.

From my reading, the traditional method sounds like it would be fine

for my dog,
though I'm willing to see vets that also do TPLO and TTA.

Thanks in advance.
