I do not have a website to help you find a doctor. I think you can go to a big and famous hospital in your area. Call their information center to have some help to find a doctor. If your daughter's cyst is more likely maligiant, a gyn/oncologist will be a better choice.  But if most likely it is a benign one(throuhg the ultrasound and blood test), find a gyn/reproductive endocrinologist bacause they have more experience to preserve the ovary and fertility considering your daughter is very young. Good luck!
