It depends. Diagnoses are arrived through tests usually. The tests are ordered by whatever physician the person initiates treatment with (usually a primary care physician). Usually another physician will actually interpret the results of those tests. For biopsies, a pathologist can give a diagnosis by looking at tissue samples under the microscope. The patient never meets the pathologist. X-rays and CT Scans are read by a different type of doctor. If it's gynecology or cardiology-related (those are the two that come to mind) the actual ordering physician (especially in cardiology) will read the test and not another physician.

Once a diagnosis is made, the treatment is typically prescribed by the ordering physician, or a referral is made to another physician who specializes in that type of medicine.

It depends on where you are and the governmental regulations in your area. In most places you have to be a primary care provider. This can be a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, osteopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist, or naturopath.
