Dr. Rafi and his dedicated team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in providing exceptional care to geriatric patients. Dr. Rafi’s impressive credentials include completing a one-year fellowship in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, along with a specialized fellowship in advanced geriatrics. His research and expertise focus on immune function enhancement, academic non-cosmetic anti-aging, and related fields.

While many of our geriatric patients are typically aged over 65, it’s essential to understand that being considered geriatric is not solely defined by age. For instance, a 70-year-old individual who remains actively employed five days a week and enjoys excellent health may not fit the geriatric classification. Conversely, a 60-year-old with multiple comorbidities, reliant on 30 medications, would indeed be classified as a geriatric patient.

To ensure the highest quality of personalized care, we evaluate your functional status both within your home environment and outside of it. We delve into your medical history, considering any comorbidities you may have, and take a closer look at the complexity of your medical profile.

With each new patient, we take a comprehensive approach, starting from square one. Our typical process begins with a thorough medication review and a detailed analysis of recent lab results. Additional tests are ordered as needed to provide you with the most tailored and effective care.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we specialize in delivering highly effective advanced treatments across the realms of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy occurs when the immune system erroneously targets typically benign allergens, such as dust mites, leading to troublesome symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath. Our treatment approaches are thorough and carefully tailored to ensure the best possible outcomes for you. We employ state-of-the-art testing techniques and adopt a comprehensive approach to address the unique condition of each individual. Our care extends to individuals of all ages, including infants, children, adults, and older adults, and we are committed to providing you with outstanding and effective care. It’s time to put an end to your suffering and uncover the underlying cause of your condition.
