Azusa CA Allergy Testing, Immunologist & Sinus Doctor

GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY AZUSA CA

Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute are experts in caring for older patients. Dr. Rafi completed a special year-long program in geriatrics at UCLA, focusing on immune health and non-cosmetic anti-aging.

Our geriatric patients are usually 65 or older, but age isn’t the only factor. A 70-year-old who’s healthy and working full-time might not be considered geriatric, while a 60-year-old with multiple health issues and lots of medications would be. We assess how well you function at home and outside and look closely at your health profile.

With each new patient, we start fresh by reviewing their medications and recent lab results, and we may order more tests as needed. We keep our communication simple and to the point.

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.
