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

Our older patients are typically over 65, but being considered “geriatric” is not solely determined by age. You could be 70 years old, working full-time, in excellent health, and not fit the geriatric category. Conversely, a 60-year-old with multiple health conditions and numerous medications could be considered a geriatric patient.

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

At Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we provide highly effective advanced treatments for Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to typically harmless allergens like dust mites, leading to symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching, or difficulty breathing. Our treatments are thorough and tailored to deliver the best results for you. We offer cutting-edge testing and a comprehensive approach to address each individual’s condition. Our care spans all age groups, from infants to children, adults, and older adults, with a commitment to providing excellent and effective care. It’s time to address the root cause of your condition and alleviate your discomfort!
