I'm planning a trip to New York for the purpose of getting some consultations on back surgery. I'm aware of Neuwirth, Boachie and Schwab as leaders in the field of adult lumbar scoliosis. Are these the best? Did I miss anyone? Any advice is appreciated.

Dr. Jean Pierre Farcy operated on me in 1988 and he is still going strong. I'd recommend him for a first or second opinion.T-6 - L-4 Zeilke-CD (Anterior - Posterior) procedure in 1988 at age 39. Dr Jean Pierre Farcy New York City. 50% correction of severe levoscoliosis. Continuing to do very well 20 years post-op!

do a "search"...
Paul-- if you do a search for NY surgeons, you should get several hits... here are a couple I just found that include some doctors you didn't mention... I don't know about them myself, so this isn't a recommendation.

NY Surgeons
Dear Paul,
Our 26 year old daughter had scoliosis surgery 6 months ago with a wonderful doctor, Dr. Antonacci who has offices both in NJ and NYC. We went to him initially for a second opinion. We are very pleased with the surgery and the results. We had posted more about him for all to share. If you go to Search and put in his name, there is more to share.
If you wish to contact him in the NYC office, his number is 212-249-8144.
