A member asked:

What type of doctor can order a pulmonary function test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All MDs/DOs: Virtually all mds/dos can order the test...But most often the test is ordered by primary care docs or pulmonologists or allergists. Other docs don't usually order this because they dont manage lung diseases.
