La Puente CA Allergy Testing, Immunologist & Sinus Doctor

GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY LA PUENTE CA

Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute are experts in caring for older patients. Dr. Rafi completed special training in geriatrics at UCLA, focusing on immune health and non-cosmetic anti-aging.

Geriatric patients are typically over 65, but age alone doesn’t define them. You could be 70, working full-time, and very healthy, or 60 with multiple health issues and on many medications. What matters is how well you function at home and outside, your health problems, and your medical history.

With each new patient, we start fresh, reviewing their medications and recent lab tests. We order additional tests as needed to provide the best care.

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.
