= Sanjeev Jain (allergist) = Sanjeev Jain is an American allergist and Medical Director of the Columbia Asthma and Allergy Clinics, with locations in California, Washington, and Oregon. Jain is board certified in Allergy, Immunology, and Internal Medicine. He provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for both adult and pediatric patients suffering from mild to severe food and environmental allergies, asthma, dermatitis, and other allergy related disorders.

Early Life and Education
Jain was born in Ajmer India, and moved to the United States when he was 15 years old. He graduated from Saint Charles High School in Saint Charles, Missouri. At that time, his father was a Professor of Chemistry at Lindenwood Colleges in Saint Charles.

After completion of his undergraduate studies at Washington University in St. Louis in 1983, Jain received a joint MD/PhD (Biochemistry) degree in the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Wisconsin in 1990. Following his graduation, Jain decided to devote his full time effort in laboratory research and teaching, and served as a faculty member of the Edward Doisy Department of Biochemistry at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. After five years, he decided to change his career path, and started his residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Jain then took a three-year fellowship in Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the Yale University School of Medicine. He went on to practice and teach at the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle before starting his current private practice.

Current Practice
Jain provides traditional allergy testing (skin prick, intradermal, patch) and treatment (oral food challenges, allergy shots), as well as new treatments for food, environmental, and medication allergy desensitization. He utilizes researched protocols for oral immunotherapy (OIT), sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), and ultrasound-guided intra-lymph-node immunotherapy (ILIT) to desensitize patients to almost any allergen.

Jain has has adapted several unconventional immunotherapy modalities in private practice. He performed a 7-nut OIT treatment on a patient who had six emergency room visits for anaphylactic reactions to nuts in 2007. This was perhaps the first successful multi-nut OIT treatment in the world. Since then he has treated thousands of patients suffering from food allergies by desensitizing them to numerous foods from nuts to seafood, and milk to green onions. Dr. Jain believes “there is no one in this world who can not be desensitized to whichever food the person is allergic to”.

Jain also treats medical conditions such as rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, dermatitis and urticaria, along with other allergy related illnesses. He is well known in the region as a physician who uses innovative approaches to treat difficult immunologic conditions.

Awards
Jain has received numerous awards during his education and in recognition for his practice as an allergist.
