A member asked:

Which specialist treats asthma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Ferguson answered

Depends: Many primary care docs see enough asthma to manage it well. Complex cases often end up in the office of a pulmonologist. Allergists often treat some, but are seldom available for hospital consultation if needed.
