Expert - for a doctor nothing to it (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adroit

'expert' is the definition.
(adroit can mean expert or masterful)

'a doctor nothing to it' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' (abbreviation).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'to' says to put letters next to each other.
'a'+'dr'+'o'+'it'='ADROIT'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for adroit that I've seen before include "Deft and skilful" , "Quick or skilful" , "skill" , "Quick-witted" , "Deft and proficient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
