See a Gastro Doc: A gastroenterologist is a good place to start if you think you have a gallbladder problem. A general surgeon is a second option, but a GI doctor will look into other cause of abdominal pain before recommending surgery (which is the treatment in most instances).

Most common: First evaluation for pain is a complete medical history and physical exam. Blood tests. Ultrasound is common to evaluate the gallbladder. Ct scan can be used for abdominal pain evaluation, but not specific for the gallbladder. Hida scan can evaluate gallbladder function. Seeing a gastroenterologist for endoscopy to look for causes of pain.
