Women-Owned, Provider-Directed Care in Fort Collins

Cindy Dean, APRN, CNM, is a dedicated medical provider at Peak Medical Wellness in Fort Collins, Colorado, where she sees patients for hormone optimization, medically supervised weight management, peptide therapy, and broader wellness care.

Cindy Dean earned her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Her clinical career spans more than three decades of women's health — including over two decades as a CNM providing full-scope obstetric, gynecological, and primary care for patients across Northern Colorado. She also brings extensive experience in wellness and weight-loss medicine — including hormone therapy, medical weight loss programs, peptide therapy, and thyroid management — from earlier clinical practice in the Fort Collins area. For more than seven years she has worked extensively with men pursuing testosterone optimization and medical weight loss alongside her women's health practice.

Cindy Dean's foundation in midwifery and women's health informs her current practice — a careful, evidence-based approach grounded in preventative care and the co-management of chronic conditions. She believes effective wellness care begins with listening to each patient's goals, history, and lifestyle before recommending any treatment.

At Peak Medical Wellness, Cindy Dean sees patients in-person and works closely with each one from initial evaluation through ongoing monitoring, providing the hands-on clinical evaluation she considers essential for safe and effective care.
