Advise for seeking 2nd opinion - cirrhosis

Hello. I'm hoping someone can offer advice. My mother was just diagnosis with NAFLD Stage 4 cirrhosis (early). However, her original diagnosis Chronic Hepatitis C and amended to NAFLD/cirrhosis diagnosis. I really think she should seek a 2nd opinion. What type of Doctor is more specialized in this type thing?

Either a gastroenterologist or hepatologist.

Was she tested for hepatitis c antibodies?
