For patients on the Western Slope & mountain communities
Telehealth statewide. An office for the San Juans.
For women on the Western Slope and in mountain communities, the barriers to specialist women's health care are real, significant travel, mountain passes in all conditions, and limited local access to providers who specialize in integrative hormonal care. Arete was founded in Ridgway specifically to address this gap.
The Ridgway office
For women on the Western Slope and in the mountain communities, specialist women's health care often means hours of driving and mountain passes in every season. Arete's office at 160 S Amelia St in Ridgway puts in-person evaluation, physical exams, and lab draws close to home for women in Ridgway, Ouray, Montrose, Telluride, and the surrounding region.

Founded in Ridgway, Colorado
Arete is led by Michelle Mullins, a dual board certified nurse practitioner practicing from her office in downtown Ridgway. This isn't a national platform with rotating providers, it's a Colorado practice with deep roots in this state, built for the women who live here. Whether you're in Denver or Dolores, you see the same clinician every time.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions.
Can I really see Arete from anywhere in Colorado?
Yes. Arete is Colorado licensed and serves women across the entire state via telehealth. Whether you're in Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Pueblo, Grand Junction, Durango, or anywhere in between, if you have a Colorado address and a video connection, you can be a patient. If you're near Ridgway, you can also come into the office.
How does telehealth work for lab work and prescriptions?
Visits are conducted via secure video through your patient portal, accessible from a phone, tablet, or computer. Before your first visit, you'll complete a detailed intake to give your clinician a thorough starting picture. Lab orders are sent to a draw site near you ahead of follow up visits, so results are ready to review together. Prescriptions are sent directly to your preferred pharmacy.
Where are labs drawn?
Labs can be drawn at the Ridgway office, or I'll send orders to a Quest location near you anywhere in Colorado.
Will I see the same provider every time?
Yes. Arete is a Colorado based practice led by one clinician, Michelle Mullins. You see the same provider at every visit, who knows your history, your labs, your goals, and your progress over time. This is a clinical relationship, not a platform mediated encounter with whoever is available.
Are in person visits available?
Yes. In-person visits are available at the Ridgway office for any patient who can make the trip. All other care can be delivered via telehealth, and an in-person visit is never required.
