I am 24 and my height is 5 5 can i increase my height which kind of doctor to consult ?

Hard to do: Your height is a rather fixed anthropometric. Only way is to sever your femurs twist them into "l" shapes, stretch them, and reset them and hope to gain two inches or so. Repeat surgery would be needed to get more height. This is incredibly risky, expensive and painful with a prolonged rehabilitation process.
