As a colleague of Dr Rifat for over 15 yrs at a leading tertiary hospital, I had the opportunity to work fairly closely with her during patient cross-referral. Her involvement and concern for the child’s general health is commendable and thorough evaluation and documentation of dental-medical findings impressive. Dr Rifat was also spoken of highly by parents of my pediatric patients for her kindness and expertise. Most pediatricians and other specialists at the facility chose to involve Dr Rifat for her opinion and management of any associated dental complications in their opd or admitted patients.
