Hi Jean,
I wrote a response yesterday, but must have done something wrong because I don't see it here!

Yes, the doctor is Dr. Linskey. We have a friend who had a surgery with Dr. Alksne a couple of years ago. She emailed him for us, but due to insurance rules, he is not allowed to perform surgery on anyone under 18. Dr. Alksne recommended Dr. Linskey who has recently performed a successful surgery on a 6 year old girl!

Thank you for your input and advice! We are going to attempt to contact Dr. Linskey this week.

I am so thankful for your post...it is such a lifeline!
