Our Providers

Fresh out of residency, I came to Augusta in 1994 and joined Steve Letchford in my first practice. We formed Evans Medical Group, Steve left for Africa, I hired a bunch of other doctors and advance care providers, and our practice was a success.

But by 2012, things started to unravel. The business was going fine, but I was burning out. I was spending more and more time at work and less time giving care to my patients. I knew I needed to change something, and a mutual parting of ways with EMG allowed me to start fresh.

I learned about direct primary care from a colleague. It seemed perfect for what I wanted to do (even though it had never been done in the local area), so in February of 2013, along with my long-time nurse Jamie, I opened up one of the first direct primary care practices in Georgia: Dr. Rob Lamberts, LLC.

The road wasn’t totally smooth, but eventually we built a solid business and were filled with happy patients. Then, out of the blue, Ed and Davis contacted me, expressing interest in starting their own direct care practices. I was thrilled to have co-laborers in the journey, and they turned out to be hard workers, good providers, and good friends. So now we have joined forces to make Welcome Health, and I am excited about the future.
