Brian W. Christensen M.D. FACS What does FACS stand for? Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Click here to find out more about what it means to a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons My three children Karlie, Blake and Brandi loaded in the truck to go to the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Love my pumpkins but I love my kids even more. As a native of Rexburg Idaho, I jumped at the the chance to return to my hometown to set up my surgical practice. I have been in practice in Rexburg, Idaho since 1998. I am a Board Certified General Surgeon. You may ask what is a general surgeon, many people do not know. I am not a general practioner. I am a specialist in the field of Surgery. General Surgery as a field includes the following
-Abdominal Surgery, which commonly includes surgery of the colon, rectum, stomach, gallbladder, appendix and well as other organs. This also includes laparoscopic surgery of the gallbladder and appendix.
-Breast Surgery, including evalation of breast lesions and resection if needed as well as lumpectomy and mastectomy.
-Soft tissue surgery includes skin biopsy for suspicious lesions, lumps and bumps, and hernia of various types.
-Trauma. Fortunatly for us as citizens in Rexburg trauma is not a considerable way of life but the unexpected does happen and if you are in need of a trauma surgeon in the Emergency Room it is likely that I will be the one that will be called.
-Endoscopy. This actually makes up a considerable part of my practice. This includes both diagnostic and therapuetic colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).Biography: Ricks College, Rexburg, Idaho 1984, and 1986-1987
