Hemochromatosis: Would you ask for further tests?

Would you ask for further tests?

I am wondering if these blood test results are cause for concern. My family doctor said my iron was high (38) and my saturation is 90% but ferritin is only 63. She just told me to stop taking vitamins with iron. I've done some checking on the internet and I think the saturation is a little too high. Do you think I should go back to my family doctor and ask for a closer look or a referral to a specialist? Any advice is appreciated.
