Finind a Dr. specializing in Chiari

Hi, I'm having symptoms very similar to those I see described for Chiari Malformation and as I look back at my symptoms over the past 20-30 years I'm wondering if this has been the issue all along.  Symptoms include migraines, pressure in head, pressure in and ringing in ears, numbness/tingling in face and hands, pain in legs and feet, easily fatigued, and lack of concentration/memory.  These can range in severity and significantly got worse a few months ago due to high stress in my job.  I'm also having bouts of insomnia and notice symptoms are worse on days after not sleeping well.  When I first started having migraines about 30 years ago, I had an MRI or two but have not had one since then.  I would like to try to find a neurologist/neurosurgeon knowledgeable and experienced with treating Chiari patients.  How can I find the list of physicians on this site?  Thanks!
