Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute are experts in geriatric patient care. Dr. Rafi’s extensive training includes a one-year fellowship in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, as well as a specialized fellowship in advanced geriatrics. His focus revolves around immune function enhancement and academic non-cosmetic anti-aging.

While most of our geriatric patients are over 65, it’s important to note that being considered geriatric isn’t solely defined by age. You might be 70 years old, working full-time, and in excellent health without being considered geriatric. Conversely, a 60-year-old with multiple comorbidities, taking numerous medications, can be classified as a geriatric patient. We assess your functionality both at home and outside, consider your comorbidities, and evaluate the complexity of your medical profile.

With each new patient, we take a comprehensive approach. This typically begins with a review of your current medications and recent lab results. We also order additional tests as necessary to ensure a holistic understanding of your unique medical needs, allowing us to develop a personalized care plan.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we provide advanced and highly effective treatments for a range of conditions in the fields of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy is a common issue where the immune system reacts to normally harmless substances like dust mites, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or breathing difficulties. Our treatments are tailored to offer comprehensive solutions with the goal of achieving the best possible outcomes.

We utilize state-of-the-art testing and a meticulous approach to address each individual’s unique condition. Our care extends to all age groups, including infants, children, adults, and older adults. Our commitment is to deliver excellent and effective care, with a focus on uncovering the root causes of your condition. It’s time to put an end to your suffering and address the underlying issues contributing to your health concerns.
