Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in the care of elderly patients. Dr. Rafi completed a one-year fellowship in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, along with a specialized program in advanced geriatrics. His primary focus was on enhancing immune function and academic non-cosmetic anti-aging.

While most of our patients are typically aged 65 and above, it’s important to note that being considered “geriatric” isn’t solely determined by age. You could be 70 years old, working a full workweek, and enjoying excellent health without falling into the geriatric category. Conversely, a 60-year-old with multiple health conditions and a list of 30 medications might be classified as a geriatric patient.

We assess your functional abilities both within your home and in your daily life, taking into account any comorbidities and the complexity of your medical profile. With each new patient, we take a fresh approach, usually starting with a review of their medications and recent lab results, and we may order additional tests as required.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we provide highly efficient advanced treatments for Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to typically harmless allergens like dust mites, resulting in symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or breathlessness. Our treatments are comprehensive and tailored to achieve the best outcomes for you. We offer cutting-edge testing and a thorough approach to address each person’s unique condition. Our care covers all age groups, including infants, children, adults, and older adults, with a focus on delivering exceptional and effective treatment. It’s time to put an end to your suffering and uncover the underlying cause of your condition!
