La Habra Heights CA Allergy Testing, Immunologist & Sinus Doctor
GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY LA HABRA HEIGHTS CA
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 geriatrics and gerontology fellowship at UCLA, focusing on immune function, academic non-cosmetic anti-aging, and advanced geriatrics.
Our elderly patients typically fall within the age range of 65 and above, but being considered as such isn’t solely defined by age. One could be 70 years old, leading an active lifestyle, and enjoying good health without being categorized as geriatric. Conversely, a 60-year-old individual with multiple health issues, taking numerous medications, might be classified as a geriatric patient.
We assess your functional capabilities both at home and outside, taking into consideration your comorbidities and the complexity of your medical history.
With every new patient, we start with a thorough evaluation, including a review of their medications and recent lab results, and conduct additional tests as necessary.

Dr Asif Rafi
What you can expect on your first visit:
Your first visit to Dr. Rafi is very comprehensive. We take your history to learn all aspects of your condition and perform an initial examination. Most likely, we will perform skin testing during this visit. It might be skin testing for classic allergies or patch testing for allergic contact dermatitis. We also test for exhaled nitric oxide (called FeNO) to determine the level of allergic inflammation in your lungs. We offer spirometry for assessment of lung function. We can perform nasal endoscopy with a flexible fiber optic endoscopy to assess for nasalpolyps, deviated septum, and candidiasis.
