Academic qualifications go after the name, so "Dr. John Smith, M.D., FACS".
The "MD" stands for "Medical Doctor", as opposed to an academic degree in some other field.
Many physicians have taken additional specialized training for their fields. So something like "FACS" stands for "Fellow, American College of Surgeons" for a specialist in surgery.
