Where does she live and does she have insurance and if so what hospitals are covered?
You can always type in the name of the condition and your city and state and see what you get, doesn't mean you can necessarily pay for that person or get a referral though.
Has she started with her primary doctor/internist? I assume yes because you're naming a condition. And they could not treat her? Because often they can. If surgery is needed she'd get referred to an orthopedist or neurosurgeon.
But her insurance company (she has insurance right?) probably wants her to start with the primary care person. Then she might be limited to specialists and hospitals in her coverage network, so a general, wide net search for a "top specialist" isn't going to be that helpful, unless there's something we don't know here.
