Dr. Rafi and his dedicated team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in providing exceptional care to geriatric patients. Dr. Rafi’s extensive training includes a one-year fellowship in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, along with a specialized fellowship in advanced geriatrics. His expertise is centered around enhancing immune function, academic non-cosmetic anti-aging, and optimizing the health of older individuals.

While our geriatric patients are typically over the age of 65, it’s important to note that being considered geriatric isn’t solely determined by age. One could be 70 years old, actively working five days a week, enjoying robust health, and not fit the geriatric profile. Conversely, a 60-year-old with multiple comorbidities, taking a complex regimen of 30 medications, would indeed be classified as a geriatric patient. Assessing your functional abilities both at home and in external environments, understanding your comorbidities, and evaluating the intricacies of your medical history are pivotal aspects of our approach.

With each new patient, we embark on a comprehensive evaluation. This typically begins with a meticulous review of your medications and an analysis of recent laboratory results. Subsequently, we may order further tests and assessments as necessary to tailor our care to your unique needs.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we take pride in offering highly effective advanced treatments in the fields of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly targets and reacts to normally harmless substances, such as dust mites, resulting in symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath.

Our treatment approach is comprehensive, tailored to address the specific needs of each individual, and aimed at delivering optimal results. We utilize state-of-the-art testing methods and a meticulous approach to assess and treat various conditions.

We are dedicated to providing care to people of all age groups, including infants, children, adults, and older adults. Our commitment is to deliver excellent and effective care, with a focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of your condition. If you’re experiencing the distressing effects of allergies or related health concerns, it’s time to seek our services and put an end to your suffering.
