Detached Retina and PVR.  
Who are considered the top retina specialists in the Seattle area.  Is there a rating for doctors that can be accesses.  I just had my 3rd surgery in 3 months.

If you feel that way then the University of Washington has a good deaprtment of ophthalmology.

Try a teaching hospital in the area. They've usually got plenty of qualified doctors.

Although, from my own experience, being treated by a top notch surgeon is no guarantee that your case will be treated successfully. I've had RDs and PVR in both eyes and have been to a top notch eye center. In my opinion it wasn't really worth the time and effort when I've got excellent doctors in my hometown.

I don't know any personally. You can find a list of board certified members of the American Academy of Ophthalmology that specilize in retina at www.aao.org
