Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in geriatric patient care. Dr. Rafi completed a one-year geriatrics and gerontology fellowship at UCLA, with a special focus on immune function, academic non-cosmetic anti-aging, and advanced geriatrics.

While geriatric patients are often over 65, age alone doesn’t define geriatric status. You might be 70, working full-time, and healthy, not considered geriatric. Conversely, a 60-year-old with multiple comorbidities and a complex medication regimen may be classified as geriatric.

Geriatric status is determined by functional abilities at home and outside, comorbidities, and overall medical complexity. Each new patient undergoes a thorough evaluation starting with medication and recent lab result reviews. Additional tests are ordered as needed.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we specialize in highly effective advanced treatments for Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly targets harmless allergens like dust mites, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath. Our treatments are comprehensive and tailored to provide you with the best possible results.

We offer cutting-edge testing and a thorough approach to address each individual’s unique condition. Our care spans all age groups, including infants, children, adults, and older adults. Our goal is to deliver excellent and effective care that addresses the root cause of your condition. It’s time to end your suffering and find lasting relief.
