Hey there. With asthma you will be best off seeing a pulmonologist. If your insurance requires a referral you can easily get that from your primary care. Be sure to do good research on anyone you plan to see. Ive gone through a ton of horrible docs (not to be discouraging) so you just have to find somebody who fits well with you and is willing to advocate for your health. Best of luck!
