ALLERGY, ASTHMA, AND SINUS INSTITUTE
At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we are dedicated to help you alleviate the daily struggles of your condition through an individually designed program specific to your diagnosis. Many of our patients are moderate to severe cases who have not had success with their prior treatments.
Dr. Asif Rafi is the only board certified and fellowship-trained Allergist & Immunologist in Los Angeles who has completed additional fellowship training in chronic rhino-sinusitis. His research fellowship also focused on chronic bronchitis, CVID, eczema and allergic skin disorders, and the effects of aging on the immune system.
