Columbia Asthma & Allergy Clinic

What Columbia Asthma & Allergy Clinic does

Columbia Asthma & Allergy Clinic is a private, physician-founded specialty healthcare practice founded in 2005 by Dr. Sanjeev Jain, MD/PhD, that delivers comprehensive allergy, asthma, and immunology care to individual patients across the US West Coast. The practice operates 7 clinic locations in California (Fremont), Oregon (Portland, Beaverton, Eugene/Springfield), and Washington (Vancouver, Longview, Bellevue), with the Fremont site functioning as a dedicated Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) and Advanced Intralymphatic Immunotherapy (A-ILIT) specialty center.

The clinic's core technology differentiator is its proprietary A-ILIT protocol, which uses ultrasound-guided injection of allergens directly into cervical (rather than inguinal) lymph nodes, requiring only 3 injections over 8 weeks versus 3-5 years of traditional weekly allergy shots. All A-ILIT procedures are performed by a credentialed radiologist. The service portfolio also includes traditional allergy shots, sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), OIT for food allergy desensitization (notably including world-first procedures for shrimp, garlic, coconut, oat, and buckwheat), precision allergy testing for 160+ allergens, asthma management with biologic therapies, and treatment of complex conditions such as MCAS and venom allergy. Patient-facing digital tools include a Symptom Checker, an Interactive Allergy Calendar, and an online patient portal.

Revenue is generated primarily through insurance-reimbursed clinical consultations, diagnostic testing, and immunotherapy procedures, supplemented by self-pay A-ILIT inquiries and a $200 no-show fee policy. The practice is in-network with most major insurers (Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Regence, Providence, Molina, Medicare) and accepts patient bookings via phone, SMS, online scheduling, and televisit. The company is independently owned and operated with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or institutional investment.

Direct peers

• Allergy Partners: Largest single-specialty allergy, asthma and immunology practice network in the U.S. with 130+ locations. Most directly comparable multi-site allergy platform offering immunotherapy, biologic therapies, and food allergy treatments under one brand.
• Aspire Allergy & Sinus: Multi-location U.S. allergy, asthma and sinus practice operating drop-in clinics across the South and West. Directly comparable model with online booking, immunotherapy (including accelerated protocols), and food allergy desensitization.
• AllerVie Health: National allergy, asthma and immunology clinical platform formed via PE-backed roll-up of regional allergy practices. Direct competitor for in-network allergy specialty services and a likely strategic acquirer of multi-site allergy clinics.
• US Allergy and Sinus Centers: Multi-location allergy and sinus specialty clinic group offering SLIT, SCIT, food OIT and biologic therapies. Closely comparable specialty services and clinic-based delivery model to Columbia Allergy.
• Red Maple Allergy: Specialty allergy clinic providing accelerated immunotherapy (including ILIT) and food allergy desensitization at multiple locations. Direct competitor for A-ILIT specifically and a useful growth benchmark for the ILIT category.

Broad incumbents

• United Allergy Services: Established allergy services provider that builds and manages in-office allergy testing and immunotherapy programs for primary care groups across the U.S. Broader incumbent in the allergy immunotherapy delivery space, overlapping with Columbia's SCIT/SLIT services.
• Aimmune Therapeutics (Nestlé Health Science): Developer of FDA-approved oral immunotherapy (Palforzia) for peanut allergy, now part of Nestlé Health Science. Not a clinic but a major branded OIT enabler that competes with physician-supervised OIT protocols like Columbia's multi-nut desensitization program.

Others

• ALK-Abelló: Global allergen extract manufacturer supplying SCIT and SLIT immunotherapy products used by allergists worldwide. Not a clinic competitor but a key upstream supplier whose products and pricing materially shape Columbia's immunotherapy unit economics.
• Stallergenes Greer: Global allergen immunotherapy manufacturer (sublingual and subcutaneous extracts) and a major industry partner for any SCIT/SLIT/SLIT-tablet clinic like Columbia. Adjacent ecosystem rather than a clinical competitor.
• Allergy & Asthma Network: U.S. patient advocacy and education nonprofit for allergy and asthma. Not a clinical peer but a key patient-acquisition channel and referral driver for specialty practices like Columbia Allergy.
