@asilyag A spine deformity specialist would do a lot of lumbar surgeries and surgery at the
L5 S1 junction. I always researched the literature of any surgeon I wanted to see. Did you find any surgeons you would be interested in seeing? I know that sometimes seems like a daunting task to find a doctor you can really trust when you haven't met them before. Sometimes you don't know until you see them if you want them to be your doctor. I saw 6 surgeons, and if they wouldn't take time to answer my questions I knew I couldn't trust them. Are you willing to travel to find the right surgeon?
