Think about healthcare in a whole new way

Here’s how it works…

While we don’t bill your insurance for the care we provide, if you have insurance you can continue to use it for all of the care you receive outside of our practice (specialists, hospitalizations, surgeries, etc.).

That said, we try to minimize your healthcare costs by doing as much as we can for you in our clinic. If we are ever able to save you a trip to urgent care or the emergency room you’ll be saving hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars – enough to pay for months or years of membership. Please visit our FAQs page for more information.

She is passionate about preventive, proactive medicine as well as chronic disease management, nutrition and mental health. Adopting a membership-based primary care practice allows for the time needed to develop a close partnership with her patients to help them live their happiest, healthiest life possible.

Dr. Eric Hemler, DO

Dr. Eric Hemler is ecstatic to be joining the team at Peak Wellness. He is a proud Colorado native, born and raised in Golden, CO. Serving a mountain community within the medical field has always been a dream for him. He views his practice of medicine as a privileged opportunity to develop lasting, two-way relationships with patients. He is known to be a compassionate and dedicated physician who prioritizes open communication and transparency. He is looking forward to having extended patient visits that will allow him to offer them the best possible care. He views patients as unique individuals and believes that it is crucial to treat the whole person rather just disease in order to maximize health and overall wellness.

He respects the views and unique health goals of every patient and brings an empathetic ear and open mind to visits with his patients. Dr. Hemler offers many routine office procedures to patients such as shave biopsies and joint injections. He is passionate about sports medicine and regularly integrates Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMT) into his practice. He believes that OMT is a tool that can be used to help correct physical ailments with or without the help of other treatment modalities. Dr. Hemler is a proud CU Buff and completed his undergraduate education at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He attended medical school at Rocky Vista University in Parker, CO and completed his residency training in Family Medicine through the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

When Dr. Hemler is not in office, he enjoys all things outdoors. He spends much of his free time exercising, skiing, mountain biking, and hiking. He recently developed gardening as a hobby and is excited to expand his backyard garden with each season. He has two rambunctious, but very lovable, Australian Shepherds named Avery and Fuzz. He shares his passion for medicine with his wife, Emily, who is also a practicing physician. Dr. Hemler also enjoys watching football, playing video games and trying out local restaurants. After finishing a long hike or bike ride, he can be spotted sipping a beer on the patio of a local brewery after finishing a hike or long bike ride.
