My female cat is healthy but around 12 years old. She is going to need surgery to remove one (or more) nasophyarngeal polyps. I called your facility and they said that I was out of your reach area to bring her to you.
I live in Snellville, Ga, and this area has only 1 or 2 vets that do this procedure, and since they are a monopoly, they have prices for this upwards of 5-6 thousand dollars.
I was very intrigued and also happy to see your procedure on Youtube and your fairness was overwhelming compared to what I have to go thru here.

They said that you might be able to recommend a close place to Atlanta that I could contact to do this procedure, and not break my pocket. Please let me know. If you need to call my number is 770-979-5362. I would be willing to travel a bit out of Atlanta if I need to for this. Best, David Eicher
