Dr. Sanjeev Jain
MD, PhD
|
Dr. Sanjeev Jain, MD,
PhD, started the Asthma & Allergy Clinics in November 2005 to provide
the highest quality allergy and asthma care in the comfortable environment
of a friendly community facility.
Educated in allergy and immunology at Yale
University, Dr. Jain first received a joint MD and
PhD from the University of Wisconsin and finished
his residency at the University of Texas. He then
taught and practiced at the University of Washington
Medical School in Seattle, where he developed a
reputation as one of the finest allergists in the
region. He has won numerous awards and is included in the
Guide to America’s Top Physicians
consistently for last
several years.
As an
allergist, Dr. Jain treasures the opportunity to
witness his patients make dramatic improvements
after years of suffering. |

He can recall several instances where his patients who
had previously required repeated hospital admissions
for asthma exacerbations have returned to normal lives
free of hospitalizations. In Dr. Jain’s experience,
most patients can achieve significant improvements by
determining the individual triggers of their allergic
reactions and by instituting an appropriate therapy.

Columbia Asthma & Allergy Clinic is a state-of-the-art facility that
provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for
adult and pediatric patients suffering from allergy
related illnesses such as asthma, hay fever, and hives.
The clinic provides a full ranger
of services, including all forms of allergy testing,
medical care, immunotherapy (allergy shots), and consultation
regarding environmental control measures to help alleviate
allergy symptoms. The clinic also stocks an array of
allergy control products and supplies, as well as medical
equipment such as nebulizers for the treatment of asthma.
In addition to regular outpatient
therapy, the clinic has an extended stay facility where
patients can undergo testing or treatment that requires
several hours to complete. Examples of such services
include medication desensitization, “rush”
immunotherapy, and placebo-controlled food challenges.
The Asthma & Allergy
