Long Beach CA Allergy Testing, Immunologist & Sinus Doctor

GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY LONG BEACH CA

Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in geriatric care. Dr. Rafi has extensive training in geriatrics and gerontology, focusing on immune function, enhancement, and academic non-cosmetic anti-aging.

Being a geriatric patient isn’t solely about age; it considers various factors. You could be 70, healthy, and working actively, or 60 with many health issues and medications and still be a geriatric patient. Functional abilities in and out of the home, comorbidities, and medical complexity play a role.

With each new patient, we start with a medication and lab review. Additional testing is done as needed to understand their unique medical needs and create a personalized care plan.

Our commitment at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute is to provide high-quality, individualized care to geriatric patients, enhancing their well-being. If you or a loved one need specialized geriatric care, we’re here to help.

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.
