Emily Hemler is a Colorado native who lives in the Golden/Lakewood area with her husband and two dogs. She is double board-certified in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine and has a passion for preventative medicine, metabolic health, and restoring wellness, not simply treating disease after it develops.
Care That Knows Your Name
Dr. Hemler was drawn to primary care because of her desire to build meaningful, long-term relationships with her patients and provide highly personalized, comprehensive care. She values evidence-based medicine, proactive healthcare, and open, compassionate communication without shame or judgment. Patients frequently describe her as an attentive listener who takes the time to thoroughly understand their concerns and collaboratively approach their health goals. Her clinical interests include weight management, hormone optimization, and preventative care, with a focus on helping patients feel their best both physically and emotionally. She believes healthcare should support how patients look, feel, and function throughout every stage of life while promoting long-term wellness, vitality, and healthy aging. Outside of medicine, Dr. Hemler enjoys hiking, weight lifting, interior design, crafting, exploring local restaurants, and thrift shopping. With deep roots in the Golden community, she is excited to continue expanding her practice locally through the partnership between Auric Health and Golden Laser Aesthetics
Why Choose Concierge Medicine?
Concierge primary care medicine offers a more personalized, accessible, and relationship-centered approach to healthcare. Rather than rushed appointments and fragmented care, patients receive extended visits, direct access to their physician, and a proactive focus on their health. At Auric Health, Dr. Hemler provides more individualized attention, thoughtful care coordination, and comprehensive treatment planning tailored to each patient’s unique goals and lifestyle. Our model allows for deeper physician-patient relationships, greater continuity of care, and the time needed to address health concerns thoroughly. Our goal is to work to help patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healthcare journey.
We do not bill insurance for primary care membership visits. In a traditional fee-for-service setting, a single comprehensive office visits can cost between $350–$600 when paid out of pocket. Our membership model provides greater value, accessibility, and continuity of care through predictable monthly pricing. This pricing includes enhanced physician access, extended visit times, preventative care planning, and ongoing support without unexpected per-visit charges. Patients also have the flexibility to discuss multiple health concerns and wellness goals during visits, rather than feeling limited to brief, problem-focused appointments. With this said, insurance remains important for services outside the membership model, including prescribed medications, laboratory testing, imaging, specialist care, emergency care, and hospitalization coverage.
Weight Management Membership
Weight management is about far more than a number on the scale. Having excess weight or obesity is not a personal failure, it is a complex, chronic medical condition influenced by genetics, hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, stress, sleep, and other underlying health conditions. Our metabolic and weight management membership focuses on understanding the root causes contributing to each patient’s struggles with weight and creating individualized, evidence-based treatment plans designed for sustainable long-term success and maintenance. Under the care of Emily Hemler, patients receive comprehensive metabolic evaluations, lifestyle and nutrition counseling, body composition analysis, and thoughtful guidance on both medication and non-medication treatment options. Our goal is to support healthy, sustainable weight loss while improving energy, confidence, metabolic health, longevity, and overall quality of life so patients can look, feel, and function at their best. We recognize that every patient’s journey is different, and we strive to provide compassionate, personalized care in a supportive and judgment-free environment.
Hormone Optimization Membership
The natural aging process and hormonal changes can significantly impact overall health, energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, body composition, sexual health, and overall quality of life for both women and men. Our hormone optimization membership provides personalized, evidence-based care for patients experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone, and other hormonal imbalances. Emily Hemler believes these symptoms should not simply be accepted as a normal part of aging that patients are expected to tolerate. Instead, our goal is to partner with patients to create individualized treatment plans focused on improving overall well-being, vitality, confidence, and long-term quality of life.
