Typically your primary care doctor will diagnose any gallbladder problems that you may have. They will do a series of test to see if your condition requires the removal of the gallbladder. If so, then the primary care physician will refer you to a general surgeon for the procedure and advise you of that appointment.

If you already have diagnosed gallbladder problems, then you should be seeing a specialist. If your problems are not diagnosed, then see your general physician to be referred if necessary.
