Dr. Rafi and his dedicated team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in providing comprehensive care for geriatric patients. Dr. Rafi’s expertise is the result of completing a one-year fellowship in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, along with a special fellowship in advanced geriatrics. His primary focus lies in immune function and enhancement, as well as academic non-cosmetic anti-aging.

It’s important to note that geriatric status is not solely determined by age. A person can be 70 years old, working actively five days a week, and in excellent health, yet not be considered geriatric. Conversely, a 60-year-old individual with multiple comorbidities and taking numerous medications may indeed fall under the category of a geriatric patient. The distinction hinges on factors such as your level of functionality within your home and in external environments, the presence of comorbidities, and the complexity of your medical profile.

When a new patient joins our practice, we initiate the assessment process from the beginning. This typically involves a comprehensive review of their medications and a thorough examination of their recent laboratory results. Additional testing may be ordered as necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of their health status and develop a tailored care plan.

Our commitment is to provide specialized and effective care to our geriatric patients, ensuring their well-being and quality of life. If you or a loved one are seeking expert geriatric care, we are here to assist you on your healthcare journey.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we are dedicated to offering highly effective advanced treatments in the specialized areas of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy is a condition in which the immune system responds adversely to typically harmless allergens like dust mites, leading to various troublesome symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath.

Our approach to treatment is both comprehensive and tailored to each individual’s unique needs, ensuring the best possible results. We utilize state-of-the-art testing methods and adopt a thorough approach to address and manage each person’s specific condition.

Our services are available to individuals of all age groups, from infants and children to adults and older adults. Our commitment is to provide excellent and effective care to relieve you from the suffering caused by allergies and related conditions. We focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of your condition, thus working towards long-term relief and improved quality of life.

If you are seeking relief from allergy-related symptoms or other immune, respiratory, or skin disorders, we are here to assist you on your journey towards better health and well-being.
