Our Team

Dr. Lemons is a preventive medicine specialist based in Birmingham, Alabama, with a subspecialty in Addiction Medicine. He owns and operates Synthesis Health & Wellness, LLC, and also serves as an independent contract physician as a Medical Director in the addiction medicine arena.

He graduated from the University of Alabama School of Medicine in 1991, after completing his undergraduate work at UAB, then completed his residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Carraway Methodist Medical Center, serving as Chief Resident in his last year. He practiced in ObGyn until 2016, with extensive experience in hormonal therapy and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, including advanced robotics.

He maintains his board certification as a Diplomate of the American Board of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, although he transitioned his career in 2016 to focus on addiction medicine and overall wellness. To bring the same level of expertise and competency to his clientele, he pursued and maintains board certification in Addiction Medicine through the American Board of Preventive Medicine.

His philosophy is grounded in life, health and wellness coaching, blending compassion with accountability. He works as a patient and family advocate to help people overcome limiting beliefs and self-sabotage, and serves to fight against stigmatization.

Outside of his work, Dr. Lemons enjoys golf, sporting events, and time with his family and friends. He has served on the UAB National Alumni Association Board as well as the University of Alabama Shelby County Alumni Chapter Executive Committee. He is a father of three daughters, and loves being a “Grandy” to his two granddaughters.

Robyn grew up in Alexander City, Alabama. She studied Exercise Science at Auburn University and went on to train as a Licensed Massage Therapist at the Birmingham School of Massage, running her own practice for over a decade before joining Synthesis.

Empathy and care come naturally to her, which is exactly what this role asks for.

Outside of work she loves the beach and the lake, and spending time with friends and family.

Daquari was born and raised in Cullman County and has dedicated her career to serving individuals and families affected by addiction. For her it is both a deeply personal and a professional passion. She was raised in a family affected by addiction, and has now herself been clean for over eighteen years.

She understands first-hand the challenges, uncertainty and fear that can come with addiction and with the decision to seek help. Having lacked someone to encourage her and believe in her, that is what she now sets out to be for the people she works with.

She has worked extensively over the past eight years in the MAT (medication-assisted treatment) field, having started at a larger corporate facility as a patient registration representative and taken on more responsibility as she grew. She continues to gain valuable experience assisting our patients as Patient Care Coordinator at our Cullman office, where she also still serves alongside Brandy Drake at First Step Behavioral Health. She serves as intake coordinator and Treasurer for a non-profit men’s sober living program in Cullman as well.

She believes those struggling with addiction deserve compassion, dignity, encouragement, and the chance to learn that recovery is possible. Recovery changed her life, and she works daily to help others discover that it can change theirs for the better too.
