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 were 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.

🏈 Welcome Health Wednesday 🏈

College football season is here, and that means tailgates and game-day snacks! 🎉 While the classics are delicious, a few healthy swaps can keep you feeling good all season long:

🍔 Swap burgers for grilled chicken sliders – still hearty and filling, but lighter on saturated fat.
🌭 Trade hot dogs for turkey or chicken sausage – same game-day vibe with less sodium and fat.
🍟 Try baked sweet potato fries instead of regular fries – more fiber, vitamins, and just as tasty.
🥤 Choose flavored sparkling water instead of soda – hydration without the sugar crash.
🥨 Go for whole-grain chips or pretzels with hummus – keeps you energized longer than traditional chips.
🍪 Opt for fruit skewers drizzled with dark chocolate – a sweet treat with antioxidants.

Small swaps = big wins for your health 🙌.
Here’s to enjoying football season while fueling your body to cheer on your team! 🏆

🌧 Wellness Wednesday: Why Rainy Weather Can Make You Feel “Under the Weather”

If you’ve noticed more coughs, fatigue, and sniffles lately, you’re not imagining it. Our recent rainy streak can take a toll on our health in surprising ways:

💧 Humidity + Allergens – Damp conditions can lead to mold growth and higher pollen counts, which can irritate your airways and trigger coughs or congestion.

🌫 Lower Air Pressure – Rainy weather often brings changes in barometric pressure, which can cause headaches, joint aches, and even leave you feeling sluggish.

☀️ Less Sunshine – Cloudy days mean less vitamin D, which can impact mood, energy levels, and immune function.

Stay well this week by:
✔️Keeping indoor air dry with a dehumidifier
✔️Wiping down damp surfaces to prevent mold
✔️Getting outside for short sun breaks when the rain clears
✔️Staying hydrated and eating nutrient-rich foods to boost immunity

Your health matters rain or shine — and at Welcome Health, we’re here to keep you thriving through every season. 🌿

: Why Your Gut Health Matters More Than You Think

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

Here are a few easy ways to support your gut health:
🥦 Eat more fiber-rich foods (think fruits, veggies, and whole grains)
💧 Stay hydrated—your gut loves water
🦠 Add probiotics to your routine (yogurt, kefir, or supplements)
⏳ Avoid overusing antibiotics when possible

At Welcome Health, we take time to look at the full picture—not just the symptoms. If you’ve been struggling with digestion or wondering how your gut health might be affecting your energy, sleep, or stress levels, we’re here to help.

📅 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 don’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 I’m still able to give people better care than I have ever been able to give.
