Thank you adnorris and thanks to all who posted about North Wake Animal Hospital. Daughter took her dog there for ACL repair and so far so good.
Dr. Darch appeared to know what he was doing. Felt her dog's hips and without further ado had her in and x-rayed and told her what the problem was and that she didn't really need to do anything and in any case she didn't need to do it now, that even people often wait for years to do ACL repairs.
When our daughter elected surgery, he told her how much the total cost would be and recommended supplements given what he'd seen on x-rays of her hips and knees.
Surgery, supplements, antibiotics, pain meds, x-rays, visit -- total came to less than a third of what she had been quoted at about a dozen other vet clinics in town.
When I asked how they could do it for so much less than others, receptionist said that they run a no-frills clinic.
Which is true. The floor appears to be a poured concrete garage floor with sand in it for traction. There are no appts., you just wait your turn. The meds are given in wee envelopes not plastic pill containers.
However, the care appears to be top notch. There are two other vets in the practice and the one that did the surgery spent a good half hour explaining things afterwards.
Anyway, dog is doing great. Thanks again.
