Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in geriatric patient care. Dr. Rafi’s extensive training includes a one-year fellowship in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, along with a special fellowship in advanced geriatrics, focusing on immune function enhancement and academic non-cosmetic anti-aging.

Geriatric patients at our institute are often over 65, but age alone does not define geriatric status. You might be 70, working full-time, and in excellent health, yet not considered geriatric. Conversely, you could be 60, dealing with multiple comorbidities and taking many medications, classifying you as a geriatric patient. We assess geriatric status by considering functional capabilities at home and outside, comorbidities, and the complexity of the medical profile.

With each new patient, we take a comprehensive approach, starting with a medication review and analysis of recent lab results. Additional testing is ordered as needed to tailor a personalized care plan for each patient. Our commitment is to provide high-quality, individualized care to enhance the well-being of our geriatric patients. If you or a loved one seeks specialized geriatric care, we’re here to help you on your journey to improved health and quality of life.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we provide advanced and highly effective treatments for various health issues in the fields of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy occurs when the immune system responds to seemingly harmless allergens like dust mites, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath. Our treatment approaches are comprehensive and tailored to ensure optimal outcomes for each individual. We utilize cutting-edge testing methods and a thorough assessment to address the unique needs of every patient, regardless of age, whether they are infants, children, adults, or older adults. Our mission is to deliver exceptional and efficient care, helping you identify and tackle the underlying causes of your condition. It’s time to put an end to your suffering and gain insights into the root of your health issues!
