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, complemented by a special fellowship in advanced geriatrics. His primary focus revolves around immune function enhancement and academic non-cosmetic anti-aging.

While our geriatric patients are typically over the age of 65, it’s important to note that being geriatric is not solely defined by age. Whether you are 70 years old, actively working five days a week, and in excellent health or 60 years old with multiple comorbidities and taking 30 different medications, you may still be considered a geriatric patient. We assess your functional abilities both at home and outside, inquire about your comorbidities, and evaluate the complexity of your medical profile.

With each new geriatric patient, we embark on a comprehensive journey starting from scratch. This typically commences with a thorough review of their current medications and recent lab results. Subsequently, we may order additional tests as necessary to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your unique medical needs. Our approach is driven by a commitment to provide the highest level of care tailored to each individual’s specific requirements.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we are dedicated to providing highly effective advanced treatments in the fields of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks relatively harmless allergens like dust mites, leading to disruptive symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath.

Our treatment approaches are comprehensive and meticulously tailored to deliver optimal results for each individual. We offer cutting-edge testing methods and take a thorough approach to address the unique aspects of every patient’s condition. We proudly serve individuals of all ages, from infants and children to adults and older adults, with a shared commitment to delivering excellent and effective care. It’s time to put an end to your suffering and uncover the root cause of your condition.
