What does the abbreviation FACS mean following the doctor's name and term M.D. ????

Hi,

I believe FACS means Fellow ot the American College of Surgeons. He's a cutter.

Best wishes, Clive

Are you people still asking about medical titles?  I can find no titles for the acronyms ALT or CK.  If they refer to something else, perhaps you can find it yourself at ACRONYM FINDER.COM.
