My diagnosis was made by an Opthamologist and later confirmed by 3 different Rheumatologists. Generally a Rheumatologist would be the preferred specialist for someone diagnosed with Behcets; however, patients should also be followed by specialists who can assess and treat specific symptoms that the patient has. For example I see an opthamologist on a regular basis to ensure my eyes do not have any inflammation. There is a skin test that you can take to confirm Behcets; however, not all individuals with Behcets test positive for this test. The diagnosis is usually made based on an assessment of the patients symptoms.
