He enjoys helping people with the ordinary as well as rare and complicated diseases. His clinic has become a good place for people who have not been able to find answers at other offices.
Research has always been an interest for him. He has been a primary investigator for studies of asthma, allergy and Hereditary Angioedema. He has also studied treatments for COPD and migraine. He participates in many national Advisory Boards.

He encourages all of his patients to maintain a high quality of life and can frequently be heard telling them, "Get up. Get out and get to it." He is an advocate of natural and medical therapies for all diseases. His guiding principle in clinic is simple: "I try to consider the whole patient while treating their allergic, respiratory and immune system problems."

He is past president of several organizations including the Joint Council of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the Colorado Allergy Society; the Western Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology; the El Paso County Medical Society, and the Pikes Peak Regional Council of the American Lung Association of Colorado.
Dr. Nathan has an unwavering commitment to his patients. "First and foremost, I try to treat all my patients in the same manner that I would want my family treated. Patients must always be given ample opportunity to discuss why they are seeing me. In return, it is my obligation to explain what role allergies are playing in their symptoms, and how best to deal with them."
Dr. Webb moved to Colorado in 2010 where he practiced pediatric and adult allergy and immunology at Evans Army Community Hospital until he joined Asthma and Allergy Associates of Colorado Springs in 2012.
During his fellowship training at Walter Reed, his research focused on pediatric and adult asthma, urticaria (hives), and special vaccine considerations in young children with food allergies. He has also published articles and book chapters in anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions), asthma, juvenile systemic sclerosis and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, also known as ALPS. This last area of interest came from his patient experiences at the National Institutes of Health in Washington, D.C.
While in medical school, he was awarded as a Canon Scholar, chosen by his peers and instructors for compassion, patient care and scholarship. He says that the most rewarding aspect of allergy and immunology is the opportunity to see patients ranging from newborns to geriatrics. “This allows me to take care of each generation of the family, often seeing parents and children from the same family for allergic or immune system issues.”
