While an MD is the basic qualification required to practice medicine, a FACS is a voluntary fellowship that recognizes outstanding achievement in the field of surgery. FACS surgeons have typically completed additional training and experience beyond the basic MD requirements, and are considered to be experts in their field.

Therefore, an MD FACS is a highly qualified and experienced surgeon who has demonstrated exceptional skills and knowledge in their field.
