Sports med doc: A sports medicine physician or an upper extremity specialist would be ideal to see for tennis elbow however most general orthopedic surgeons can manage the initial conservative treatment if indicated. If you fail conservative management then you may want to seek out a specialist since they may know of minimally invasive newer techniques to address the problem such as elbow arthroscopy.
