Dr. Rafi and his dedicated team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in providing exceptional care for geriatric patients. Dr. Rafi’s extensive training includes a one-year fellowship in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, as well as a special fellowship in advanced geriatrics. His expertise focuses on immune function and enhancement, as well as academic non-cosmetic anti-aging.

Geriatric patients are typically aged 65 and above, but it’s important to note that being considered geriatric isn’t solely defined by age. You could be 70 years old, actively working five days a week, and enjoying robust health, without fitting the geriatric profile. Conversely, you could be 60 years old, dealing with multiple comorbidities, taking 30 different medications, and rightfully be considered a geriatric patient. Assessing your functional capabilities both at home and in daily life, understanding your specific comorbidities, and evaluating the complexity of your medical profile are all essential aspects of our approach.

With every new patient, we take a comprehensive starting point. Our process typically initiates with a thorough review of your current medications and recent lab results. Subsequently, we proceed to order any additional testing necessary to create a tailored care plan that addresses your unique needs. Your health and well-being are our top priorities.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we are dedicated to providing highly effective advanced treatments in the fields of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly targets typically harmless allergens, such as dust mites, leading to disruptive symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath.

Our approach to treatment is comprehensive and meticulously designed to yield optimal results for each individual. We offer cutting-edge testing techniques and a thorough methodology for addressing and managing your specific condition. Our services cater to all age groups, including infants, children, adults, and older adults. Our mission is to deliver excellent and effective care to alleviate your suffering and uncover the root cause of your condition. Your well-being is our primary concern, and we are dedicated to enhancing your quality of life.
