[valene2009]

i am having a really hard time finding a center for sjogrens and/or dry eye.. one that specializes.. i see the cleveland clinic but it doesnt look like there are opthamolgists there?  i see there are several Mayo clinics..

does anybody or has anyone gone to a special  place for sjogrens and or dry eye?? thanks...

I have not seen one center. Mayo does not believe in AI diseases. Most that have come to Rochester have left very discouraged.

Johns Hopkins - Been there and it's a great place to go.  I saw Dr. Birnbaum (and alot of others) and liked him.  Hope you're near Baltimore (we travelled from NJ) it is worth the trip.
