Dr. Jain was one of the first medical doctors to of-fer desensitization treatment in private practice and possibly the first to do combined tree nuts in a single protocol. Dr. Jain first received joint MD and Ph D degrees from the University of Wisconsin and finished his residency at the University of Texas. He completed his advanced fellowship training in Allergy and Clinical Immunology at Yale University School of Medicine. 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 Physiciansconsistently for the 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, food allergy reactions, and other medical conditions, have returned to normal lives free of hospital visits. In Dr. Jain’s experience, most patients can achieve significant improvements by determining the individual triggers of their allergic reactions and by instituting appropriate therapy. Dr. Jain’s practice, Columbia Allergy, has twelve clinic locations in the states of California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. More information can be found at https://columbiaallergy.com
