When is the best time to call MD's for phone informational interviews. In other words, what day of the week and time are they the least busy? I know it depends but on average.

Their schedules are very unpredictable, and most likely they'll have assistants answering their phones. Email is going to be the best way to go about setting up a phone call. In my experience, most people do not like surpise phone calls from people seeking informational interviews or advice - go through email to give them time to look over your resume and time to get back to you.
its not a surprise call. He emailed me back saying to call sometime next week.
My apologies then, after lunch would be your best bet. Shoot for 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
But I would probably shoot for early afternoon, usually they're busy in the morning responding to emails/phone calls from the day before and they're traveling pretty frequently.
But yeah you will most likely get an assistant anyway even if he's expecting it so I wouldn't worry too much here.
