Porphyria: You don't need an expert. Any competent internal medicine physician should be able to make the diagnosis with a series of urine tests.

Porphyria: The doctor that usually takes care of porphyria is a hematologist. The american porphyria foundation will be able to provide you with a list of experts in your area.
