Dr. Rifai performed a knee replacement surgery after two years of helping me alleviate the pain through all other methods. After careful consideration we reached the conclusion that surgery is the last resort. The operation was very successful and Dr Rifai followed up regularly to ensure the recovery is going well. He even visited me at the house after I complained of unusual pain, very rare to see doctors do that in these days. He really cares about his patients and I highly recommend him.

Doctor was easy to talk to, helped me understand my surgery and educated me so I could make an informed decision. Did not pressure me at all into surgery which I had a great outcome. Was very caring. I recommend this doctor to all my friends.

Good surgeon with nice bedside manner. Shock and dismay at unethical billing practices and unwillingness to discuss fiances with patient.
