La Verne CA Allergy Testing, Immunologist & Sinus Doctor

GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY LA VERNE CA

Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in caring for elderly patients. Dr. Rafi completed specialized training in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, with a particular focus on immune health and non-cosmetic anti-aging.

While most of our elderly patients are over 65, age alone doesn’t determine if you’re considered geriatric. You might be 70, working full-time, and in excellent health without being classified as geriatric. On the other hand, a 60-year-old with multiple health conditions and numerous medications might be categorized as a geriatric patient. What truly matters is your functional abilities, health issues, and medical history.

For each new patient, we start with a fresh approach. This usually involves reviewing their medications and recent lab results, and we may conduct additional tests as necessary.

What you can expect on your first visit:

Your first visit to Dr. Rafi is very comprehensive. We take your history to learn all aspects of your condition and perform an initial examination. Most likely, we will perform skin testing during this visit. It might be skin testing for classic allergies or patch testing for allergic contact dermatitis. We also test for exhaled nitric oxide (called FeNO) to determine the level of allergic inflammation in your lungs. We offer spirometry for assessment of lung function. We can perform nasal endoscopy with a flexible fiber optic endoscopy to assess for nasalpolyps, deviated septum, and candidiasis.
