Welcome Health

Welcome Health Direct Primary Care for individuals, families and businesses in Augusta, Evans and Waynesboro, GA

Welcome Health grew out of the practice started by Dr. Rob Lamberts in the beginning 2013. Frustrated with how normal primary care gives little attention to the needs of the patient, he left his old practice and became one of the pioneers of Direct Primary Care. His patients were delighted with the change and his practice grew. This success caught the attention of Davis Mellick and Ed Boland who w

ere also exhausted by the usual business of healthcare. They saw this as a chance to escape the hamster wheel of fee-for-service medicine and practice in a patient-centered world.

The Welcome Health team spent yesterday volunteering at Golden Harvest Food Bankโ€™s Augusta Campus, sorting food, packing bags, and doing our part to fight hunger in our community.

We broke up the day with a team lunch before heading back to finish strong.

Caring for our community goes beyond the clinic โ€” and weโ€™re so thankful we got to do it together.

: Why Your Gut Health Matters More Than You Think

Your gut does more than just digest foodโ€”it plays a big role in your immune system, mood, and overall wellness. An unhealthy gut can lead to more than just stomach troublesโ€”it can contribute to fatigue, inflammation, and even anxiety.

Here are a few easy ways to support your gut health:
๐Ÿฅฆ Eat more fiber-rich foods (think fruits, veggies, and whole grains)
๐Ÿ’ง Stay hydratedโ€”your gut loves water
๐Ÿฆ  Add probiotics to your routine (yogurt, kefir, or supplements)
โณ Avoid overusing antibiotics when possible

At Welcome Health, we take time to look at the full pictureโ€”not just the symptoms. If youโ€™ve been struggling with digestion or wondering how your gut health might be affecting your energy, sleep, or stress levels, weโ€™re here to help.

๐Ÿ“… Schedule your appointment today or reach out to your provider on Spruce with any questions.

Our Story

I worked for 18 years doing primary care for adults and children in the insurance-run health care system. In February of 2013 I opened my new "direct care" practice, a practice where I work for the people in health care that really matter: my patients. For a low monthly fee I provide: 1. Office visits at no additional cost 2. Lab tests, procedures, and medications (when possible) at low cost. 3. Problems handled via secure messaging, video conference, phone calls, text messages, whatever my patients want. I don't force people to come in for problems I can handle using easier means. 4. High level of customer service.

I donโ€™t accept money from insurance companies, although many of my patients still have insurance (which I encourage). I find that money from insurance companies (or Medicare/Medicaid) take the focus off of the patient, distract the medical staff, and generate a huge amount of increased work and headache for everyone. Primary care should be simple. It should be between the doctor and the patient and focus more on health than sickness. Our system (with insurance) does the opposite.

Since opening in 2013 my practice has grown to over 700 patients, and Iโ€™m still able to give people better care than I have ever been able to give.
