Try the Medtronic Prestige website. It lists all of the docs within a specified distance of your zip code that are trained on the prestige disc. This means that they have attended a training course on the device and have completed the minimum number of proctored (by the sales or clinical representative of the company) cases (usually 5 or 10 cases). If they are on that list, you can assume that they are also trained on the Synthes product, as this is a very competitive business and the reps go after the same docs. If they list that they perform the procedure you can narrow your list of docs from there. You can also search the procedure code online and see which hospitals have billed that code (available from your state in FL its Floridahealthfinders.gov) the most often. From there you can figure out which docs are the busiest. You can also try to reach your Synthes or Medtronic Sales Rep and they can just tell you, but that may take more work... My advice (worth about $.01) is to find the doc that has done the greatest number of ADRs. This is simply using the theory that the doc who does the most, is most likely the most profecient with the actual device. The procedure is different from a fusion and requires some additional fitting and sizing of the actual disc. Those who have done more, will be more likely to be more profecient. Best of luck...
