Pasadena CA Allergy Testing, Immunologist & Sinus Doctor

GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY PASADENA CA

Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in geriatric care. Dr. Rafi holds fellowships in geriatrics and gerontology, along with expertise in immune function, non-cosmetic anti-aging, and advanced geriatrics.

Geriatric status isn’t solely age-dependent. A 70-year-old in good health and working full-time may not be geriatric, while a 60-year-old with comorbidities and numerous medications may be. Functional abilities, comorbidities, and medical complexity determine geriatric status.

New patients receive comprehensive assessments, including medication reviews, recent lab result evaluations, and additional tests as necessary.

We’re dedicated to providing exceptional care to improve the well-being of geriatric patients.

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.
