Depends on what probems or concerns you are having. If it is a problem with the veins in your legs, then you want a vascular surgeon. If it's a muscular or bone matter, then find a good orthopedic specialist.
Check with your family doctor, or go to a local hospital's website. They usually have a physician referral number that can set you in the right direction.
