What kind of dr do you see for pheochromocytoma?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
If you know you: Have pheo, a surgical resection is necessary. You need to see a surgeon with experience in laparoscopic or robotic surgery. These days, look for a surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive surgery. If you suspect that you have a pheo but are not sure, you need definitive diagnosis by an endocrinologist.

An endocrinologist: The work up of a possible pheochromocytoma should be the bread/butter of an endocrinologist, although a good general internal medicine doc would be a good substitute if an endo is not available. This tumor is rare.
