Family Medicine
Dr. Mittal Patel, MD
At Direct Health, Dr. Mittal Patel’s goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care that has been a hallmark of general practice since the beginning of time. Our practice’s philosophy is based on trust, quality time, & transparency between the patient and doctor.
I’m a board-certified family physician with over 15 years of experience. After training at the Medical College of Georgia, I discovered my passion for family medicine and my deep connection to Augusta.
I founded DirectHealth Primary Care to bring back what matters most in medicine: time to listen, build trust, and provide truly personalized care. My special focus is on women’s health, wellness, and weight management—because small changes can make a big difference.Outside the clinic, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and traveling with my husband and our two children, experiences that enrich both my life and the care I provide.
Our membership-based primary care practice is built on a foundation of trust and respect. Every patient is appreciated, acknowledged, and accepted, with care tailored to individual needs. We are committed to delivering attentive, accessible, and affordable healthcare, ensuring that high-quality primary care remains within reach for all who seek it.
- High-quality healthcare made personal and accessible

What is Direct Health Primary Care?
The Direct Health Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative healthcare model that removes the complex and costly billing system of our current insurance based health care. Physicians partner with their patients to provide primary care services under a flat, periodic membership fee. By allowing the focus to shift from billing and finances to personalized health care, patients are provided with substantial savings, more access and time with their physicians, and no fee-for-service third party payer billing.
Membership based models allow patients to have access to their primary care physician via in-office visits, and unlimited communication by phone, email and text. A key principle of Direct Health Primary Care (DPC) is to foster a strong relationship between the patient and physician. Through this relationship, you and your physician work together to meet your health care goals.
Trust
Time
We respect the value of time, therefore, we promise to provide you with reliable, same-day or next-day appointments. You can directly call, text, video chat, or email your personal doctor, saving you time to focus on what matters to you.
Transparency
There should be no surprises or hidden costs when it comes to the cost of receiving medical care, which means that you should know exactly how much it will cost. You will find our prices clearly listed on our website, so you know exactly what to expect.
Testimonials
“My mom & I have been a patient of Dr. Patel’s for years. We absolutely love that she is practicing with DPC model. Everyone there makes for a great team! This has been the best experience we have had with primary care. They are there for us when we need them, and they take the hassle out of dealing with medical stuff. We are so glad to have Dr. Patel!”
“Dr Patel has been my doctor for several years and in my option, she is the absolute best primary care doctor. She always Is kind and listens to my needs. I’m so happy to have her taking care of my health again.”
“You cannot beat the price for the service here, either. Anything I’ve needed has been answered and taken care of the same day. There is even a messaging option where you can chat direct with your doctor & their staff. So easy!! The prescriptions are bottom dollar there as well. 10 stars, would recommend to anyone!”
“After being an lpn for many years, I am slightly jaded with doctors,especially family physicians and primary care physicians who usually don't bother to actually "practice" any longer, they mostly try to lay low of the DEA and give out referrals to specialists. I had not Even been to a physician in 10 years. I now try to see her at least yearly or bi-annually. Dr. Patel is probably one of the very few doctors in family practice who actually practices. She is thorough and listens to her patients.”
“After moving to Augusta from California I was thrilled to find a Doctor as knowledgeable and dedicated as Dr.Patel. I was particularly impressed with the efficiency of the online "MyChart" and the amount of time Dr Patel spends getting to know her patients. Highly recommend!”
“Dr. Patel is amazing. Just love how everyone is happy to see you and focused on listening to your issues and coming up with a plan to help.”
“I CANNOT rave about Welcome Health and Dr. Patel enough. In a world where bedside manner and genuine care seems to be lost, I am so thankful to be with Dr. Patel. On your first visit, they take the time to learn you and your entire history to better understand how to care for you. My quality of life has gone up substantially after sitting with Dr. Patel and uncovering some issues I had been having.
