If I think I might have sarcoidosis, what should I look for in selecting a doctor or treatment center?
Because the signs and symptoms of sarcoidosis can resemble other diseases, the diagnosis of sarcoidosis can be difficult to make. Therefore, it would be wise to seek out a doctor and/or treatment center with a declared interest in and expertise in sarcoidosis diagnosis and treatment. Also, because the disease can affect multiple organs, the treatment center selected should be capable of providing a comprehensive plan of care through a team of specialists. Finally, because the disease may disappear and reappear over a lifetime, the health care provider selected should be one that is committed to a lifetime of quality care and follow-up.
