Look for a Dr. who is either a gastroenterologist or hepatologist. And good luck to your mom. There are good treatments out there for Hep C. I wish your mom the best of luck in finding a good doctor. Tell her she should have a liver biopsy done and join a Hepatitis C Support group in your area. Her general medical doctor should be able to refer her.

Consult a Gastroenterologist.
Please see the webpages for more details on Hepatitis C.

Gasteroenterology/Hepatology or an Infectious Disease Specialist can treat viral hepatitis.

The family doctor usually makes the diagnosis and then the person can be referred to a specialist. The usual specialists are called gastroenterologists (specialists in the digestive system) or hepatologists (liver specialists). Sometimes infectuous disease specialists can also be called in if needed.
Hope this helps--wishing you and your family all good thoughts and prayers for a positive treatment experience.

A good internist would be a good start. He/she may then refer her to an infectious medicine doctor.
