To Barry Brumitt:
 
I think you are 100% dead on about looking for a more experienced vet.

>experience with this surgery?
 
Here are two I would recommend (although neither in PA/OH).
 
Our very own Charlie Weiss of the FML at Potomac Animal Hospital, Potomac,
MD at (301) 299-4143/4143, or Dr. Kawasaki at the Old Bridge Veterinary
Hospital at (703) 690-2580 in Woodridge VA, about 20 min. south of D.C.
