Dr Rafi is incredibly insightful and brilliant. He was able to diagnose a chronic sinusitis in my son that was missed by two other doctors. He is so gentle and caring with his patients. I wouldn't just trust anyone with my kids and he has my full respect and trust. I highly recommend Dr Rafi!
It's not often that you come across a doctor like Dr. Rafi. He's extremely thorough, knowledgeable, takes his time to ask questions and examine everything to get to the root of the problem. I honestly haven't come across a doctor like this in a long time. Thank you for the care!
Can't say enough great things about Dr. Rafi. I went there three years ago with a sneaking suspicion I had some food allergies. He helped me manage it really holistically and made himself easily available when I needed him. You will be happy you saw him!

We Care About Our Patients

Common Disorders That We Treat

Home - Food Allergies
Food Allergies
The immune system creates an incorrect response to food substances, which results in a food allergy. The main food allergens consist of fish, shellfish, peanuts, wheat, eggs, milk, soy, and tree nuts. People with food allergies in Los Angeles need proper diagnosis and management because these conditions create daily life challenges.
Home - Drugs Allergies
Drug Allergies
Some medications can cause allergic reactions in patients. The list includes antibiotics, together with aspirin, ibuprofen, anticonvulsants, and chemotherapy drugs. The process of drug allergy identification helps prevent adverse reactions from occurring, while doctors can choose suitable, safe medication options.
Immune Deficiencies
Immune Deficiencies
Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) weakens the immune system, making individuals more prone to infections. Early diagnosis and ongoing management can help reduce complications and improve health.
Home - Asthma
Asthma
Asthma is a long-term medical condition that causes bronchial tubes to become inflamed while their airways narrow. The condition produces symptoms, which include breathing difficulties, chest compression, and coughing and wheezing sounds. People who get individualized care for their asthma can control their symptoms, which results in improved breathing abilities and enhanced daily activities.
Allergic Skin Disorders
Allergic Skin Disorders
Allergic skin conditions present as dandruff, rosacea, or acne, which causes doctors to make incorrect diagnoses. Our medical team provides antifungal therapy and allergic cause treatment to help patients achieve skin health restoration.
Home - Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis is also known as eczema. The condition leads to skin irritation, which results in itching symptoms and causes inflammation and discomfort in the affected area. Targeted allergy treatments enable patients to control their symptoms while decreasing their total number of allergic reactions.
