Sleep Disorder Doc: If you can find a sleep disorders clinic, that will be the best place to get diagnosed and treated for restless legs syndrome. If no such clinic is available, neurologists probably have the greatest expertise among other specialists.

A phlebologist: Venous insufficiency and varicose veins are a very commonly overlooked cause of restless legs syndrome (rls). If you have trouble with RLS and have veins you can see in your legs, i would recommend seeing a phlebologist (vein specialist). If you have varicose veins and rls, treating your veins can make a huge difference.
