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, followed by a special advanced geriatrics fellowship. His focus lies in enhancing immune function, academic non-cosmetic anti-aging, and more.

While most geriatric patients are over 65, it’s crucial to understand that geriatric status isn’t solely determined by age. For instance, a 70-year-old individual working full-time, maintaining excellent health, and leading an active life may not be considered geriatric. On the other hand, a 60-year-old dealing with multiple comorbidities and reliant on 30 medications is categorized as a geriatric patient.

To tailor our care to your unique needs, we assess your functionality at home and outside, delve into your medical history, including comorbidities, and understand the complexities of your health profile.

With each new patient, we start afresh. Our approach typically commences with a medication review and a thorough examination of recent lab results. Additional testing is ordered as necessary to ensure a personalized and comprehensive approach to your healthcare.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we specialize in offering highly effective advanced treatments within the fields of Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy occurs when the immune system erroneously targets typically harmless allergens like dust mites, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath. Our treatments are comprehensive and meticulously designed to deliver optimal results tailored to your specific needs. We provide cutting-edge testing and adopt a thorough approach to address the unique condition of each individual, encompassing all age groups, from infants and children to adults and older adults. Our commitment is to offer you outstanding and efficient care, putting an end to your suffering and uncovering the root cause of your condition.
