What type of doctor specializes in hypothyroidism and tests for other autoimmune diseases?

Depends: For hypothyroidism you should start with your pcp then an endocrinologist if your case is complicated or you need more done. For autoimmune disorders again your primary care physician is your starting point then a rheumatologist.
