Dr.\patient care: A qualified specialist can accurately diagnose whether or not you do have temporal arteritis. Most will also spend the time listening to and discussing the subject with you until you fully understand the results confirming or negating any diagnosis. After that it becomes a waste of your time and theirs. If you don't trust the dr, find another one. If you don't trust any, that's a separate issue.

Second Opinion: If you think that you may have temporal arteritis, it is imperative that you go see a doctor for a second opinion as soon as possible. Temporal arteritis should be considered a true neuro-ophthalmic emergency.
