Dr. Rafi and his team at the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute specialize in geriatric patient care. Dr. Rafi’s expertise includes a one-year fellowship in geriatrics and gerontology at UCLA, along with a specialized advanced geriatrics fellowship. He focuses on enhancing immune function and academic non-cosmetic anti-aging.

While our geriatric patients are typically over 65, it’s crucial to understand that geriatric status isn’t solely defined by age. For instance, a 70-year-old working full-time, in excellent health, and leading an active life may not be considered geriatric. On the other hand, a 60-year-old with multiple comorbidities and 30 medications might be classified as a geriatric patient.

To tailor our care to your unique needs, we assess your functionality at home and in daily life, explore your medical history, including comorbidities, and understand your health profile.

With each new patient, we start fresh. Typically, we begin with a medication review and a review of recent lab results, ordering additional testing as necessary to ensure personalized and comprehensive healthcare.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we provide highly effective, state-of-the-art treatments in Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to seemingly harmless allergens like dust mites, causing symptoms such as sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath. Our treatments are tailored for comprehensive results, aiming to address your condition effectively. We offer cutting-edge testing and take a thorough approach to treat individuals of all ages, including infants, children, adults, and older adults. It’s time to put an end to your suffering and uncover the root cause of your condition.
