I would assist any help I could get.
I just googled: spine surgeon albany and there doesn't seem to be any shortage, and you're not that far from NYC, where I'm sure there are many more.

Is it specific referrals/recommendations you're looking for?
First, I'd google: how to find best spine surgeon and read up on it.
Then I'd email those that turn up in searches, ask all my doctors, their staffs, my insurance company, and try Angie's List:
