Either, both: Suspicious of acute gallbladder attack, doc can order hida. Likely would call for surgical evaluation if abnormal.

Either: A lot depends on acute or chronic symptoms of gall bladder disease. Acute attack may end up in er with surgical consultation and therefore ordering of study by surgeon. If chronic pain, any physician either primary care, gastroenterologist, internist, or general surgeon can order the test.
