English term or phrase: (Name, DDS, MS)
This is a document that patients must sign when they want the services of the Dentist. This paragraph that contains the phrase to translate is the one that says: "I authorize THE NAME OF THE PLACE (PERSON, DDS,MS) to receive payment of dental benefits...etc. I don't know how to put it inside the parenthesis. Should I just leave it as Dr.XXX?

Explanation:
Normally a dentist, in Mexico, for instance, just goes by the title of "Dr." and is not specific.

The title is called "Cirujano Dentista", and MS is "MC", "Maestro en Ciencias".

To make it easy, I would suggest leaving (name, DDS, MS*) and then a translator's note: DDS = Cirujano Dentista, MS = MC, Maestro en Ciencias.
