Dr. Rafi and his dedicated 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 fellowship in advanced geriatrics. His research primarily focused on enhancing immune function and academic non-cosmetic anti-aging methods.

Our elderly patients are typically individuals aged over 65. However, it’s essential to note that age alone doesn’t define geriatric status. You might be a vibrant 70-year-old, working full-time and enjoying robust health, yet not be considered geriatric. Conversely, a 60-year-old with multiple comorbidities, reliant on a regimen of 30 medications, might fall under the geriatric category. The key factors include your functional abilities at home and outside, the presence of comorbid conditions, and the complexity of your medical history.

With every new patient, we begin afresh. Our approach usually commences with a thorough medication evaluation and a review of recent laboratory findings. Subsequently, we conduct any necessary additional tests based on the individual’s specific requirements.

The Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specializes in delivering advanced and highly effective treatments across the domains of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy arises when the immune system reacts to relatively harmless allergens, such as dust mites, leading to symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching, or breathing difficulties. Our treatment approaches are comprehensive and tailored to yield the best possible outcomes. We employ cutting-edge testing methods and adopt a thorough approach to address the unique conditions of each individual. Our services cater to all age groups, including infants, children, adults, and seniors, with a strong commitment to providing exceptional and effective care. It’s time to address the root cause of your condition and put an end to your suffering.
