In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.
International contacts, too.

If none are near you, maybe you could call and ask for a recommendation for somebody in your area.

Good for you, for caring, and reaching out!

I thought it was two toes front and two to the back for parrots.

Right parrots all are zygodactyl - 2 in front and 2 to the back on the toes. His right foot seems to be the problem one. Can you send a good picture of him perching, showing the placement of toes? Parrot feet are made for perching on roundish places, not flat like a table. That picture will really tell the tale of there is any birth defect. As Gale has said, parrots do very well even if there is some deformity, heck some do just fine with missing toes!
