If you are considering paying for the surgery: Research the vet’s education.
Unlike MDs, all veterinarians are allowed to do surgery. Surgical residencies are optional. So you could be paying for an expensive, technical surgery with a vet that never formally learned the procedure.
You will also want a MRI prior to cutting, so ask if they have a MRI machine. A CT is not equivalent.

while this is true most modern vets know their limits and will refer for very difficult surgeries. Will you find an old arse vet out in the boondoocks who will try anything? probably, but that's become a far less occurrence these days.
