A doctor has provided 1 answer
Choices of doc: Depending on the type of respiratory problem, different types of physician can be helpful. If cause is unknown, an internal medicine doctor can provide initial diagnostics and therapies for many conditions. A pulmonologist is a subspecialist in respiratory conditions who would also be able to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory problems.
