Dr Scott Murphy with Twin Cities Veterinary Surgery is excellent. He has done 3 knees with my family. I work at a vet clinic in Blaine and he is the only Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon that we use.

A big question is where it is convenient for you.
All of the surgeons recommended are very good and I have had good
experiences with all of them (never had a torn cruciate repaired in
Minnesota, though)
If you go to the U be prepared for more time because you will be part of the
teaching process.

I should also mention that Dr. Conzemius has studied the outcome of ACL
surgery in Newfoundlands for many years and one of his conclusions is that
you should use the surgical technique favored by your surgeon, that is more
important for a good outcome than insisting that your surgeon use a
technique you think is better.  In his study, there was no statistically
significant difference in outcome (although many Newf owners swear by one or
the other).

Good luck!
