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.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we provide advanced and highly effective treatments for Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to seemingly harmless triggers like dust mites, resulting in symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching, or breathing difficulties. Our treatments are comprehensive and tailored to ensure the best possible outcomes for you. We offer cutting-edge testing and a thorough approach to address each individual’s unique condition. Our care extends to patients of all ages, from infants to children, adults, and seniors, with a focus on delivering exceptional and efficient treatment. It’s time to put an end to your suffering and uncover the root cause of your condition!
