HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
No, he does not need to see the same doctor. He would need blood tests and possibly imaging to determine the reason he is tired and this can be done by any GP.
Blood tests such as complete blood count (looking for anemia) , ESR (checking for inflammation in the body), thyroid function tests (looking for low thyroid hormone)
Anemia and low thyroid hormone levels can cause fatigue though there are other causes as well.
I hope this helps
