Brief Answer:
Ideally an internal medicine specialist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, welcome to Ask a Doctor service.

Higher than normal vitamin B12 levels are usually a result of taking vitamin supplements.

You should stop the supplements, the vitamin B12 level will return to normal within 2 weeks.

If you have not been taking the vitamin supplements, then you must consult a Internal Medicine specialist for your problem.

I hope that answers your question.

Best wishes
