Pneumothorax is a medical condition related to the lungs. A pulmonologist is a specialist in lung - related disorders. A primary care physician may not have the specialized knowledge for pneumothorax management. While the Emergency Room (ER) might be the initial point of contact in an acute situation, the question is about referral. If the patient is stable and needs specialized care, a pulmonologist is the appropriate referral.
