Elite Physician-Led Preventive & Personalized Medical Care

At Awaken Face & Body Wellness, we offer a physician-led, highly personalized concierge medicine program designed for patients who want a higher level of care, access, and long-term health optimization.

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

  • Detailed medical evaluation
  • Comprehensive lifestyle review

  • Hormonal and metabolic assessment

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.

  • More time with their doctor
  • A deeper look into their symptoms and health risks
  • Tailored treatment recommendations
  • Prompt communication
  • A trusted medical partner for the long term
