Healthgrades.com is a site which allows you to search by city
or even zip code. It then offers you the option to purchase a
report on the doctor(s) you locate. The initial search page is
here:
http://www.healthgrades.com/consumer/index.cfm?

You will have to reproduce the search, as the resulting page
does not produce a link which will reproduce the page in your
browser.

Entering the category of Surgery, the specialty of Orthopaedics,
the state of California, and the city of San Diego, returns 260
doctors. Unfortunately, not all of them are from San Diego. 108
of them are, however, and their addresses can be viewed by
clicking on 'view details'. The ones in San Diego are:

As I said, you can refine the searches above by using your
specific zip code or phone number to reduce the number of
results, and of course, you will want to contact your 
candidates to obtain a feel for their responsiveness to
your needs, but this should go a long way toward getting 
you started.

If your looking for a spine specialist in the San Diego area, I highly
recommend Dr. Raiszadeh (www.lajollaspine.com).  Give him a call and
tell him Dr. Hanna sent you.

Hope that helps.
