With a career spanning over two decades, he has gained extensive experience in both tertiary hospital and private clinic settings, both locally and internationally. \n\nUltrasound involves using sound waves to produce diagnostic images of the body. It requires a high level of skill and knowledge to accurately interpret these images. \nThe diagnostic challenge is exciting, striving to identify abnormalities and a correct diagnosis.\n\nWorking with Dr Altaf offers a unique and fulfilling experience.
