You've probably seen these resources already as you sound like someone who has done their research.

My husband has a large osteophyte( and others) that is causing choking and swallowing problems. Surgery has been recommended after trying numerous throat stretchings and Gerd medications. We are investigating surgical alternatives but know this is rare and risky. Does anyone have any experience with this ? Are there Surgeons that specialize in this? We live in the Boston area.
