Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in caring for elderly patients. Dr. Rafi completed a one-year program in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, along with a specialized program in advanced geriatrics. He focused on improving immune function and academic non-cosmetic anti-aging approaches.

Our elderly patients are typically 65 and older, but being geriatric isn’t solely about age. You could be 70 years old, working a full workweek, in excellent health, and not be considered geriatric. Conversely, you could be 60 years old with multiple health issues, taking 30 medications, and fall into the geriatric category. We evaluate your functionality both at home and outside, take into account any additional health conditions, and assess the complexity of your medical history.

With every new patient, we begin from the start. Usually, we initiate a review of their medications and recent lab results, followed by any necessary additional tests.

Welcome to the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, where we provide highly efficient advanced treatments for Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy happens when the immune system attacks typically harmless allergens like dust mites, resulting in symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath. Our treatments are comprehensive and tailored to yield the best results for you. We offer cutting-edge testing and a thorough approach to address each person’s condition. Our services cater to all age groups, including infants, children, adults, and seniors, with a focus on delivering excellent and effective care. It’s time to alleviate your suffering and uncover the root cause of your condition!
