Baldwin Park CA Allergy Testing, Immunologist & Sinus Doctor

GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY BALDWIN PARK CA

Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in caring for older patients. Dr. Rafi completed an extensive one-year program in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, with a special focus on improving immune function and academic anti-aging, unrelated to cosmetic procedures.

Our older patients are usually 65 and up, but being considered ‘geriatric’ isn’t solely determined by age. For instance, you might be 70, working full-time, and in excellent health, yet not be classified as geriatric. On the other hand, a 60-year-old with various health issues, relying on a multitude of medications, could be considered a geriatric patient. We assess your functionality at home and in other settings, your existing health conditions, and the complexity of your medical history.

When a new patient comes to us, we begin from square one. Typically, our process involves a thorough review of their medications and recent lab results, followed by any additional tests 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.
