For all of the reasons I mentioned in the previous question. He is so down to earth and very easy to talk to. His knowledge base of all things Uveitis is extensive. My condition is a rather rare form of Uveitis and he's the first doctor to actually figure out what's going on with my eyes and how to treat it. Finally getting a specific diagnosis and treatment plan was a great relief, all thanks to the expertise of Dr. Janetos.
