I read your question carefully and I a am sorry about the situation with your father.
The specialist most appropriate for your father's condition is without a doubt a neurologist.
It is unclear though what you have been told by your doctors about the diagnosis, what tests have been made and why you are not satisfied. You should have real expectations towards doctors. If the reason for the paralysis is a stroke (confirmed with brain imaging), then you should realize that a part of his brain has suffered irreversible damage, some brain cells are dead and there is no treatment to turn them back to life. The only treatment for the current paralysis would be physical therapy hoping that the unaffected part of the brain will compensate gradually for the damaged one. The rest of the treatment is aimed at preventing another stroke from happening in the future.
I hope to have been of help.
