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

While our geriatric patients are usually over 65, age alone doesn’t define geriatric status. For example, a 70-year-old working full-time, in excellent health, and leading an active life may not be considered geriatric. Conversely, a 60-year-old with numerous comorbidities and reliance on 30 medications can be categorized as a geriatric patient.

To personalize your care, we assess your functionality both at home and in your daily life. We examine your medical history, including comorbidities, to understand the complexities of your health profile.

With each new patient, we begin afresh. We typically start with a thorough medication review and an in-depth analysis of recent lab results. Additional testing is ordered as needed, ensuring a personalized and comprehensive approach to your healthcare.

At the Allergy, Asthma, and Sinus Institute, we deliver highly effective advanced treatments in Allergy, Immunology, Respiratory, and Skin Disorders. Allergy emerges when the immune system mounts an assault on typically harmless allergens, such as dust mites, leading to distressing symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching, or shortness of breath. Our treatments are comprehensive and tailored for optimal outcomes. We offer cutting-edge testing and a meticulous approach to addressing each individual’s condition. Our care spans all age groups, from infants and children to adults and older adults, with an unwavering commitment to providing outstanding and efficient healthcare. It’s time to put an end to your suffering and uncover the root cause of your condition!
