What doctor do i see to test for pituitary tumor?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Endocrinologist: Is usually the specialty that deals most with pituitary tumors. Neurosurgeons also see patients with pituitary tumors when a surgery is required. You should probably start with your primary care provider first.

Pituitary tumor: You need to see an endocrinologist for the blood workup and then likely a mr scan.
