Elite Physician-Led Preventive & Personalized Medical Care
At Awaken Face & Body Wellness, the concierge medicine St. Louis patients trust is built on direct physician access, personalized preventive care, and long-term health optimization led by Dr. Erica Yalavarthi.
This is not:
- A rushed primary care visit
- A crowded waiting room experience
- A one-size-fits-all healthcare model
This is a premium, relationship-based medical program focused on:
- Preventive care
- Personalized treatment strategies
- Direct physician access
- Comprehensive wellness planning
- Long-term health and longevity
If you have felt overlooked, rushed, or frustrated by traditional medicine, the issue is not you. The issue is the system.
Why Traditional Healthcare Often Falls Short
Most patients today are navigating a healthcare system that is reactive instead of proactive.
That means care is often centered around:
- Short appointments
- Delayed access
- Surface-level evaluations
- Minimal follow-up
- Treating symptoms instead of identifying root causes
Many people are told their labs are “normal” even when they feel exhausted, inflamed, gaining weight, sleeping poorly, or simply not functioning at their best.
At Awaken Face & Body Wellness, we believe excellent medicine should be personalized, thorough, and forward-thinking.
What Concierge Medicine Really Means
Concierge medicine is a more personalized model of healthcare that gives patients greater access to their physician, more individualized attention, and a stronger focus on prevention.
Instead of feeling like just another chart in a busy system, you receive care that is centered around you — your health history, your goals, your symptoms, your risks, and your future.
Our concierge medicine program is designed to help patients:
Improve overall health
Prevent disease earlier
Optimize energy, sleep, and metabolism
Manage chronic conditions more effectively
Receive timely care and ongoing support
Build a real relationship with their physician
A More Advanced Approach to Your Health
At Awaken Face & Body Wellness, our concierge medicine model goes beyond standard annual physicals and basic lab work.
We take a broader, more strategic look at your health, including:
- Detailed medical evaluation

- Close monitoring and follow-up
This allows us to create a more accurate picture of your health today — and where your health may be heading in the future.
Physician-Led, Personalized Care
Your care is led by Dr. Erica Yalavarthi, who brings the perspective of an experienced physician focused on personalized medicine, prevention, and whole-patient care.
Our approach is designed for patients who want:
- More time with their doctor
- A deeper look into their symptoms and health risks
- Tailored treatment recommendations
