I've been struggling for years with allergies and been to many allergy doctors. They've done tests and told me I have allergies but nobody gave me a game plan to deal with my struggling symptoms. It was at a point where I couldn't even be inside my house! After my thorough consultation with Dr. Rafi, he gave me a comprehensive game plan to manage my symptoms. I also had a hard time breathing and found out I have asthma from allergies. I never thought breathing the way I am today was even possible, not to mention the stress it took off my chest. I also sleep well now and wake up energized! All from one visit! I couldn't thank him and his amazing staff. Everyone has amazing energy and is always there willing to help. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND for anyone dealing with allergies. FYI, his first visit is about 1.5 hours and he takes his time to get to know you and your current health baseline so he could give you a game plan for improvement. Absolutely amazing read more

Dr. Rafi is an incredibly smart, caring, and attentive doctor with amazing bedside manner. My husband was referred to him through his gut doctor -- someone we trust deeply -- and we're so grateful we found him. He was able to quickly identify my husband's symptoms and create a clear game plan to address the root cause, something so many other doctors overlooked or simply didn't take the time to investigate. When I became a patient, he ordered comprehensive blood work that no other doctor had ever thought to run or even cared to explore. You can truly tell he listens, cares, and wants to get to the bottom of what's going on instead of just masking symptoms. If you're looking for a doctor who is thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping his patients heal, I highly recommend him. You won't regret going to him. His staff is also incredibly kind and attentive. read more

Excellent allergist has made a tremendous impact on my daughters life!!! Highly recommend!!!!!! read more

Dr. Rafi provides excellent care, compassion, and genuine kindness for his patients, yet takes the time and effort to properly find a correct diagnosis. He is confident in his plan of care and is willing to do all he can to help provide the best treatments and recommended medication. Dr. Rafi puts his patients first and has the knowledge and expertise to work with challenging and/or rare diagnoses, immune deficiencies, asthma, and allergies. He had an amazing staff that are helpful and always friendly. I am forever thankful for Dr. Rafi and his staff. read more

Expensive. Was charged for services not rendered. Staff is slow to respond to calls and emails if at all. Was misdiagnosed. PA Sharon not knowledgeable AT ALL. Details. After being misdiagnosed twice, by Rafi and another doctor, I finally found out I have fibromyalgia. The two of them wasted 1 1/2 years of my life all the while dealing with chronic pain. Rafi diagnosed me with chronic variable immune deficiency disorder. I had to have an intravenous line put in my arm and receive medication I did not need. When I found a new immunologist who reviewed my records from both before I saw him and after and retesting me doctor confirmed I never had it. The other immunologist diagnosed me with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. That's another story for another time. I was charged for visits and services that I never received. I sent a detailed spreadsheet with dates, medical codes asking for explanations which to this day I have never received. During my telemed visits with Sharon I could always tell she was not prepared for our call even though I always sent detailed notes and questions prior to our conversation. 99% of the information and assistance I received was from the pharmacy who provided my supplies and nursing services. The pharmacy was also the one who gave me my diagnosis because the doctor never told me. I was quite shocked when I received the call from the pharmacy to begin services when I had no idea what was going on. Of course he insisted that they told me and I must have misunderstood. I heard that quite often when I questioned them about many things. As if all of this isn't bad enough, when I would have telemed visit with them and question them about answers, I was always made to feel as if I were the one who didn't know what was going on. While I can't say for sure, I believe that if I had not been misdiagnosed by two doctors my fibromyalgia may not have become as bad as it is. My experience with this office and their staff has been a nightmare which I continue to live with to this day. If you decide to seek services from this person, tread lightly, take lots of notes and always ask for detailed progress notes for each and every encounter. read more

The doctor says he contacted the laboratory to discuss the bill in error. However, when we did a three-way conversation with his office, the lab, and myself, the lab said they never received any communications from his office. He lied in his response to me. His response to me was extremely unprofessional! read more

Compassionate and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about a wide-range of allergy and asthma-related issues. Knows how to make the insurance system work and really cares for his patients. So glad I found him. read more

Dr. Rafi is the BEST. I had chronic asthma/allergies for years. He took the time to figure out exactly what I was allergic to and how we could control the symptoms. Under his care, I live a totally normal life. No wheezing. No sneezing. And no more sinus infections and endless colds. Truly, the quality of my life is so much better now. Unfortunately, my son inherited my allergies and when he was first diagnosed by his pediatrician, they advised us to just "nebulize him." Instead, I took him to Dr. Rafi and he's allergy and drug free. No sneezing or wheezing for him wither! It's rare to find a Dr. and practice that really, truly and deeply care about your total health - Dr. Rafi and his team are that rare find. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Rafi for years. While he is one of many amazing specialists I see, he remains my very best doctor. It is rare when we see a doctor who is a true diagnostician, one who can see what other doctors cannot. It is not easy, nor fun, to be the messenger of sometimes bad or difficult news. And some people expect a magic pill to do all of the work for them - but with allergies, our behaviors are also a huge part of our solution. This is a doctor who really cares about his patients and making sure we have not just great care, but also accurate and detailed diagnoses and information so we can get help, and also help ourselves. This is the doctor I am most thankful for. read more

Dr Rafi is a life saver. With flu season coming in full force and having 2 small kids, our household got hit hard with sinus infections. Dr Rafi was very accommodating in helping me get the right medications I needed to clear it up quickly and effectively. Wonderful experience. read more

Dr. Rafi is the most knowledgeable and caring allergist who has ever treated me. I have been seeing him for over a decade, and my allergies are totally in check. I have referred approximately 20 family members and friends to Dr. Rafi, which gives him my highest recommendation as he is a highly-trusted and valued doctor. read more

It turns out after 2 years of treatment with Dr. Rafi, that I didn't have any allergies at all. He did not even do blood tests on me when I ended up being allergic to over 30 foods and allergic to everything in the environment. He also took me off of all antihistamines. It turned out through blood tests, that I have NO allergies whatsoever!!!! He did not know how to help me. His office has not sent my medical records to my new allergist, even though I went in and signed for a copy of my records to be sent. I would avoid this office. (Note.... I had to see another allergist to find out through blood tests that I had no allergies. It appears I may have sensitivities to food additives and preservatives.) read more

Dr. Rafi was recommended to me by a friend, who gave him rave reviews. My son was about to have ear surgery before I took him to Dr. Rafi as a last resort. Dr. Rafi quickly diagnosed my son's allergies and put him on immediate treatment. Within a very short time, all of my son's symptoms had disappeared and his surgery was cancelled. Dr. Rafi is very knowledgeable, smart, kind, and thorough. He never makes us feel like he's rushing us. He always takes his time and is the utmost professional. Without any hesitations, I highly recommend Dr. Rafi to anyone seeking an Allergist. read more

Save yourself time and trouble and go to Dr. Rafi first! He is a doctor's doctor, a patient's friend, a scientist, and a man of integrity all rolled into one. In 2006, I had a car accident that resulted in years of unchecked inflammation that caused my immune system to fail. I ended up being so allergic that my IGG level was above 2000 and I couldn't even tolerate allergy tests. When I first went to Dr. Rafi, I had no idea what was happening with my body and I was terrified. Over a year and a half, Dr. Rafi skillfully guided me from spending 14-16 hours a day in bed to being able to function again. During each visit, he went above and beyond to investigate every symptom and find a solution. His patience, intuitiveness, diligence and care literally saved my life. read more

Dr.Rafi explained my lab result to me very patiently and he diagnosed that what I have is not allergy (my hives) and it's actually Hashimoto's Thyroid disease. I could feel he is caring about his patient's health. getting the essential feeling of trust in your physician is very important and I definitely had that with Dr.Rafi! thank you! read more

There is always a question mark about taking on a new medical condition and meeting a new Dr. and staff. Well I feel lucky to have discovered Dr. Asif Rafi and his practice. Very welcoming staff and professional in their patient handling. Dr. Sharon is now also part of the staff and has made me feel very much at ease. That's important to me. Thank you Dr. Rafi and Staff -Anthony C. read more

Dr. Rafi has left Allergy Asthma Care Associates, to open his own practice! He is in the same building, 6th floor, but in a new office down the hall! Don't be fooled into going to suite 630 and find out he's not there, call his new offices: 424-256-2984 an make your appointment. I want to make my review crystal clear that it is about Dr. Rafi and his staff (most of whom he took with him to his new practice). Dr. rafi is the best allergist in the West. read more

Found Dr. Rafi through Yelp, needed a close place ASAP for an allergic reaction to god knows what. They got me in within 2 hours. Dr. Rafi and the entire staff were so kind and gentle. Dr. Rafi basically said, had I seen an allergist when I was a kid, I wouldn't have all the ailments I do now. He's encouraged through testing that my issues will go away. He's ordered the most complete bloodwork I've ever seen and I go back for skin tests after that. I'm very happy with Dr. Rafi, his staff, and his thorough methods. I highly recommend!! read more

My dermatologist referred me to Dr. Rafi when my chronic eczema persisted and seemed to be getting worse. Dr. Rafi diagnosed the allergies that were causing my skin problems during my first visit. Two weeks later, my skin is clear. He is great at offering evidence based solutions -- like wet wraps -- that do not cost a fortune yet really work, and work fast. He recommended products for my very sensitive skin and sent me home with a bag of samples to try. He listened and made note of my concerns efficiently without making it seem rushed. The support staff is efficient, and runs things well. All in all, a good experience; I no longer itch like a maniac! read more

Dr. Rafi has been a life saver for my daughter who was diagnosed with a rare lung disease at 15 yrs old. I drive her every two weeks to see him & his fabulous staff from Solana Beach in San Diego. Her physicians at the Children's Hospital told us she would never improve. Dr. Rafi is the Dr. who goes above & beyond to help his patients . With his help, she has improved! We are forever grateful! read more

I remember, as a lad in England, the local doctor. He would spend time explaining what was going on, what one probably had to look forward to when sick and how he was going to treat any malady one might be afflicted with. Ah, distant memories. Until recently. I contracted the dreaded COVID about 3 weeks ago. Oh shit. Fortunately I was put in touch with Dr. Rafi. Amazing. He spent an hour on the phone with me and completely allayed any fears. He prescribed medications to fight the symptoms and took time to explain to me what was going on. 24 hours later, symptom free, leaving my body free to give the COVID a bloody good whuppin' Thanks doc. Amazing. read more

I do not recommend visiting this provider. After receiving a bill which I had questions on, it appeared that the insurance was charged for services that were not rendered for my son. When I called our health insurance, the representative wanted to question why I was billed for 5 services, when they (the insurance) only received services for 4 things. Out of those 4 services, something else was charged that per the manager "was not done." After having our insurance provider on the phone with their office manager Kelly, the representative and I were appalled at her attitude over the phone. There is another review by another person who wrote about their fraudulent charges. Stay away. read more

Dr Rafi took time out of his schedule to explain in detail the reasons for my allergies. I sought Dr Rafi's advice after seeing an old school allergist who uses out of date methodologies and was brought up to speed with the correct treatments. Thank you Dr Rafi! read more

Of all the doctor's I have visited in Los Angeles, doctor Rafi is by far the best I have seen. He identified the problem I was having when other doctors could not. He found a treatment that has worked for me and improved the quality of my life so much. The insurance company did not want to pay for my medication, but doctor Rafi and his staff wrote letters and did what was needed so I could receive the medication I needed. I can not say enough about how great doctor Rafi and his wonderful staff have treated me. read more

One of the best doctors I've ever worked with. Hands down. Dr. Rafi's like a medical Sherlock -- he give proper attention, detail, and personal time when tending to the needs of his patients to help foster improvements in their lives/comfort. If you're with Dr. Rafi, you're in the best of hands! read more

Dr. Rafi and his staff were amazing in their attentiveness, attention to detail, and going out of their way to make me feel comfortable. I have been to four other allergists over the years, but none come close to Dr. Rafi in terms of his "total patient" approach. Dr. Rafi was able to quickly and painlessly identify the primary allergies that were affecting me and came up with a sensible plan to phase out the problems. His experience and knowledge base are unparalleled. One of my daughters has asthma and Dr. Rafi is the only doctor in the world that I would trust her care to. I recommend Dr. Rafi 1000%. read more

Dr Rafi is a great allergist. He cares a great deal about his patients and is always going the extra mile for me. He has been instumental in working though helath issues and is an expert in Common Variable Immune Deficiency. The other doctors in the practice all are great, From Dr Katz to Dr Doh, I've been treated by them all and you would have difficulty finding a bettter group of doctors totake on allergies, asthma, and or CVID's. They as a rule do not want to take on 'simple' allergy cases that are treateable and contollable by a GP prescribing some basic treatemtn. Tehy preferr to work on difficult cases that take time, and have not had sucess in the past. read more

I have been coming to this office for years now and recommended it to several friends and co-workers. Recently they have enacted all these fees, for things that really in my opinion should just be standard like a letter, a form for school /work, or prescriptions that require doctor approval or pharmacy forms. They have also started running way behind their appointments. The last two times it was 30 minutes past my appointment before I even got called in. This is especially frustrating when you have to feed a meter for 1.5 to 2 hours, it should never take that long for a routine appointment. I would give them a 3 star, but I love my doctor and the nursing staff is great. Bottom line, if you have a strict schedule then you might want to try someone else. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Rafi for 5 months now and I feel much better. I've had these symptoms for most of my life with no solutions offered. He tried a few different things and honed in on the underlying issues. Started me on Xolair and 4 months in, I'm feeling great! I'm now a huge fan. read more

Dr Rafi is overall a nice person. I agree that he's a good diagnostician. There are some problems though. He required that I take a antihistamine before each allergy shot. Having moved to a new allergist, I've found out that this practice is not studied well and may undermine the allergy shots and unnecessarily keep the shots from taking effect. After 1.5 years(!) of no progress, went to a new allergist and within a few months of (no antihistamine) shots... shots are finally working. Finally, if I could, I'd give his receptionist and him one star for administration. Without going into the unpleasant details, despite being a loyal client for 1.5 years, they practically threw me out of their office for coming -on time- to the end of a allergy shot period because the Dr needed to leave a little early that day. Also, their allergy shot hours are very limited (not one day of the week is there a later after 5 time- think of the number of people who can't come in). read more

Dr. Rafi has gone out of his way to provide excellent care for me as well as my mom. My mom had a severe allergic reaction for which we called Dr. Rafi's office. Despite a fully booked schedule, he accepted to see her immediately and spent hours making sure she was treated appropriately and recovering prior to her leaving his office. He is extremely knowledgeable in addition to being kind and considerate. My mom has done very well since and we are very grateful to him for that. I had been to another allergist in the past myself and informed Dr. Rafi in passing of some of the info I was told by the other doctor. He questioned the previous allergist and performed some tests on me and sure enough, Dr. Rafi was right about what he had thought based on my history alone. I was very impressed... not to mention very grateful to now have the correct diagnosis and make the appropriate changes in my life. It is difficult to find the right doctor these days... Most lack in one thing or another - be it expertise or bedside manners etc... That's not the case with Dr. Rafi. I would highly recommend him if you need to see an allergist. He is thorough and thoughtful, intelligent and considerate, friendly and caring, patient and generous. He goes the extra mile for his patients... Once you see him, you will not need to see anyone else. read more

Dr Rafi is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. My grandson is 8 years old and have been seeing him for several years. He likes him a lot. His office staff are also kind and professional and are always willing to help when I call. He's a very busy doctor but whenever I need my grandson to be seen the receptionist always works us in and for that I'm extremely grateful. I would highly recommend Dr. Rafi. read more

Dr. Rafi is a brilliant doctor, and truly excellent at diagnosing allergies and related problems. He is completely up-to-date on therapies and medications. A truly lovely, caring doctor and his staff is great, too. Plenty of parking in the building and sometimes you get lucky and find places on the street. Highly recommended. read more

I have been going to the Allergy Asthma Care Center for over 20 years and have always found them to be kind, knowledgable, and caring. I use them for not only my allergy issues but also any cold, flu, sinus infection and other respiratory issues. Dr. Rafi is now my main doctor and he continues to provide the type of superior service that I've always had from this practice. I highly recommend him. read more

The worst billing ever. They sent a bill without explanation and when I called, they didn't return my call for two days and when they did they were completely rude. I felt as if the only thing left for the lady to do was call me stupid. In addition, i just received an email from their billing department subject line "Documents" with a statement saying they will remove money from my credit card account. The subject line alone was 100% unprofessional and the email address had no indication is was from this office. Disappointment. read more

For a year straight I had a sinus infection or strep throat once a month. It was insanely awful and no doctor could figure out how to make it stop. A friend recommended Dr. Rafi to me and I am so thankful I went to him. He did not stop until he figured out that I had an antibody deficiency for some common bacteria strains. Some quick immunisations later, I was back on my feet again and feeling better than ever! Cut to 8 years later and a move to New Zealand, the sinus infections started coming back and I suddenly remembered Dr. Rafi and my antibody issues. I found his contact details on his website and emailed him. He responded quickly and saw me in his lunch hour because I was only back in LA for a few days. He's going to work with my doctor in NZ to ensure I get the medical care I need. He and his staff are absolutely lovely and they genuinely care about their patients. He is the only doctor I truly trust. Thanks Dr. Rafi! read more

I was extremely impressed during my first visit to Dr. Rafi's office. He is knowledgeable, professional and so informative on my health issues. His office staff and assistants are super kind and friendly. Definitely my new healthcare professional and highly recommend. read more

My son has been seeing Dr. Rafi when we was with the other group - when they had office hours up here in Valencia. I loved that he took the time to get a full history and talked to my son and didn't rush out of the office (like another allergist in this valley). Dr. Rafi is the worth the drive from Santa Clarita to Santa Monica. He has helped my son with his asthma, allergies and growth issues. Nicest man too and the office staff is great too. read more

Dr. Rafi is truly one of a kind. He is insanely knowledgeable and has incredible bed side manner, which many doctors (and I have been to many) unfortunately do not. He has helped pin point my weird problems right away, when other doctors just couldn't. And, the coolest thing about him is the way he truly cares for his patients. I don't care what time it is, whenever I have a crazy question or concern..he texts me back immediately. You tell me what doctor does that these days! It's been a year since my initial testing for allergies, and I plan to return soon since it's recommended to retest your allergies yearly. He is generous with samples, the products he makes himself such as his hypoallergenic, fragrance free lotion works great, and overall he is all about finding the correct and accurate treatment for you. Go see him, he will be such a refreshing delight to come across in the American healthcare system. read more

Before I found Dr. Rafi at the Allergy Asthma Care Center in West Los Angeles, I suffered miserably with labored breathing due to COPD and allergies. It was depressing and made my life difficult. Dr. Rafi diagnosed what had been poorly treated before him and prescribed a regimen that has given me back my strength, life and vim/vigor. Under his care, I have a whole new lease on life. Highly recommend him, especially if you are a suffering senior. read more
