Dr. in Bellevue

Mike,
I meant to post again earlier since "My Intro"... Since I've had this recurring iritis over the past 10 months, would it be smart to visit a uveitis specialist, or is continuing to see my opthamologist sufficient? I've had all the blood tests/x-rays done, saw a rheumetologist, and there was no apparent cause for the iritis and scleritis. My doctor said that's pretty typical, and even a person with no underlying cause can have recurring bouts of iritis (the scleritis I only had my first occurence, since then only the iritis has returned). Last time I was there I asked him if there was anything we were perhaps "missing" and whether I should repeat the tests and he didn't think I needed to.
I live in the Renton/Bellevue area. Is this Bellevue doctor the one you recommend most? Is it worth a visit to him? I don't want to waste anyone's time if there's nothing else to be done, but maybe this guy might have some other options for me...???
Thanks,
Jo
