About Aspen Integrative Medicine

What is Aspen Integrative Medicine?

Aspen Integrative Medicine is a regenerative and integrative medical practice with offices in Aspen and Basalt, Colorado. The physician named on the clinic's pages is Dr. John C. Hughes, D.O. Its focus is regenerative therapy for pain, brain health and skin, and peptide therapy is one service among several. The practice lists regenerative injections, regenerative plasma concentrate (PRP-RPC), prolotherapy, Prolozone, IV therapy, lab testing, nutritional consulting, TBI therapy and peptide therapy.

The peptide list is long. It includes ARA 290, AOD-9604, BPC-157, CJC-Ipamorelin, DSIP, Epithalon, GHK-CU, Semax, Selank and Sermorelin, among others. The weight loss offering is peptide-based. The practice does not recommend Ozempic, and no GLP-1 or other prescription weight loss medication is listed among its services. The practice has a 4.9 rating on Google from 40 reviews. Hours are Monday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm, with a lunch closure from 12 to 1pm. Fridays are reserved for procedures.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices. It shows no consultation fee, no package price and no membership price. It mentions peptide wellness packages and a club, but it does not publish their prices or terms. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether HSA or financing is available, or whether peptide medication is included in any price. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book, including the consultation, each treatment and any lab work.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Dr. Hughes is named as the physician, but the practice does not say who prescribes the peptides. Ask who writes the prescription and who handles follow-up.

Next, ask about approval status. In its own words: "some of these peptides are still waiting for full inclusion as approved items for prescription by US physicians." Ask which peptides you would receive are approved for prescription, and whether each one is brand-name or compounded. The clinic also says its peptides are available from "FDA approved, GMP pharmacies," so ask which pharmacy fills them.

Its description mentions stem cell therapy, while its disclaimer says it does not use unapproved stem cell technologies. Ask exactly what goes into each regenerative injection.

Finally, ask how follow-up visits and lab work are billed, how many visits a plan usually requires, and how cancellation works for packages or the club. Telehealth is not offered as a listed service, so ask whether any visit can be done remotely. If you are travelling, ask whether a Friday procedure can be booked.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person regenerative or peptide care in Aspen or Basalt and will ask for written prices, the prescriber's name and each peptide's approval status before you pay. It may not fit if you need prescription weight loss medication or a telehealth visit, since the practice lists neither.
