D." stands for what it normally stands for (Doctor of Medicine). "FACS", stands for "Fellow of the American College of Surgeons" which signifies the satisfaction of requirements by a Board-certified specialist in surgery. The "P. C." stands for "Professional Corporation" (certainly not "politically correct"!), which is the business entity of my practice for tax purposes. I am a Board-certified neurosurgeon with a practice in Northern California, perform Parkinson surgery (although these days, I refer most of it to a major research center where more facilities are available), and I am a professor at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco.
