Who is a "specialist"?
A medical specialist is a doctor who has completed advanced training in a specific area of medicine, allowing them to provide accurate diagnoses, develop targeted treatment plans, and offer advanced care options for complex conditions related to their field of expertise. These specialists focus on particular systems, diseases, or types of care, such as the heart, nervous system, bones and joints, or cancer. Patients are often sent to specialists by their primary care physicians when specialized knowledge or advanced treatments are needed.
