types doctors specialization list - #28065
I am really trying to figure out the whole types doctors specialization list thing cause I’m feeling a bit lost. Last month, I had this strange pain in my side and after running around to a few different clinics, I saw some general practicioners but they just didn’t have the answers I needed. I ended up getting referred to a gastroenterologist, which I learned is part of the types doctors specialization list. But like, how do I even know what specialist to go to for different issues? It’s like there’s this huge types doctors specialization list but no real guidance on when to see whom! I heard about different types of doctors like orthopedists and endocrinologists but how do I know if those are right for my symptoms? I feel like I’m just chasing my tail here and wasting time. Also, are there really that many types of doctors or is it just me? I mean, how do I go from maybe needing a primary care physician to possibly a Urologist from just some odd symptoms? If anyone has any insights on navigating the types doctors specialization list, it'd be super helpful. Thanks!
