I'm sorry you have gallstones.

I would look at each doctor individually (background) and not just go by MD vs FACS. I have worked for a few leading surgeons in their fields and they didn't list FACS after their names.

ETA: I have never seen anyone list this designation after their name, so maybe I behind the times.
