Nephrologist (Kidney doctor)
The most common specialist dealing with hypertension would be a Nephrologist; however, it is such a common problem that most general internists or family practitioners would deal with it themselves.

The ASH Specialists Program was formed by the American Society of Hypertension, Inc. (ASH) in 1998 in response to the growing recognition that the hypertension problem requires the coordinated effort of front-line health care providers and those physicians with documented expertise in managing hypertension. The ASH Specialists Program created the Specialist in Clinical Hypertension designation for the specific purpose of identifying and recognizing physicians with expert skills and knowledge in the management of clinical hypertension and related disorders. These physicians can act as local and regional consultants for the more complex and difficult cases and also assist in advice regarding guidelines and process improvement. To date, designation has been granted to 1115 physicians practicing in the United States, Canada and other countries.

Internist (internal medicine) can monitor your blood pressure and treat hypertension. A cardiologist (heart doctor) would be the specialist for hypertension that your internist could refer you to.

cardiologists are heart doctors and can treat hypertension but basically it is characterised with nephrology and nephrologists are typically supposed to be the hypertension specialists, good luck
