Dr. Hift is the most thorough, trustworthy and compassionate doctor I have ever worked with. After consulting numerous specialist, including 2 other Rheumatologists, she was able to provide a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan that worked! The difference is from being homebound to being active. In addition, she always responds immediately and never makes me feel like I shouldn't ask. She has truly changed my life profoundly.

Dr. Hift is very smart, determined, concerned and compassionate. From the first meeting, I no longer felt alone wtih our son's problem. I knew that as long as we didn't give up on our son, Dr. Hift would keep trying to turn him around. It's impossible to express our gratitude that our son now at 7 is in a regular school with friends and a normal life to look forward to.
