Sanjeev Jain, MD, PhD, is a renowned allergist and immunologist practicing at Columbia Asthma & Allergy Clinic, which has 12 locations in four states (CA, WA, OR, ID), and he travels to offices in all four states every week.

Double-board certified in allergy and immunology and internal medicine, Dr. Jain has held teaching positions and practiced at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. He specializes in immunotherapy and has been a pioneer in developing novel forms of immunotherapy, as well as creative protocols to optimize their effectiveness

In Dr. Jain’s experience, nearly all allergies can be treated by identifying a patient’s triggers and desensitizing the body through immunotherapy to help them return to normal lives. Some of his groundbreaking contributions include,  performing one of the first oral immunotherapy (OIT) treatment for food allergies in a private practice setting and the first multi-nut OIT in the world. Dr Jain’s team was the first to desensitize patients to many different foods including coconut, garlic, shrimp, fish, oat, and buckwheat.

At Columbia, Dr. Jain and his team have developed unique sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) protocols which are being used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions such as atopic dermatitis and eosinophilic esophagitis. Columbia was also the first private practice in the US to do lymph node desensitization treatments for environmental allergies.
