Affordable Cat Surgery Recs

Took my cat to VCA this morning and he had a “capital physeal fracture of femur” and they referred me to gulf coast veterinary specialists who quoted me $4,600-$5600 for the “femoral head ostectomy” that VCA recommended. He hasn’t been seen by gulf coast yet but they have his x rays from this morning.

Does that quote sound right? Can anyone recommend a good, affordable cat surgeon? Or have experience with this surgery themselves? That seems like a lot of money based on VCAs explanation this morning.
