An astrologer may be a qualified person with a degree in Astrology or may have picked it up from his family lineage.

However,  a Medical Astrologer is a qualified medical doctor and a qualified astrologer.

A Medical Astrologer can blend and combine the two sciences of health and astrology.  He/she has the skills to give readings on health issues of a person using astrological principles which a general jyotishi may not be adept at.

Seeking help from a Medical Astrologer is a wise choice when details of health related issues need to be known from an astrological perspective .
