Combine sqrts in denominator

I'm doing a calculation that results in terms of the form

1/ Sqrt[ -h + Sqrt[h^2 + r^2]] * 1/Sqrt[h + Sqrt[h^2 + r^2]] * (other
functions)

One sees that this simplifies to (other functions)/r.

It would helpful to make Mathematica perform this simplification, but
I have not been able to get Simplify[] or FullSimplify[] or anything
else to do it.

How would I be able to do this?

Thanks,
Tom
