Negative retoucher -- recommendations?

I have a couple of negatives that need retouching. I don't trust my own hand at this so I'd like recommendations. I'd prefer somebody based in New York City but I'll take anybody in North America. How much do retouchers typically charge for their services?

I can recommend Garrett Nichols for retouching negatives. I have seen some of his work, and I found it quite good. He can be reached at Chip Hooper's studio in Carmel Highlands, CA (ph 831.659.4095).
