Dr. Kimberly Maroney
My name is Dr. Kimberly Maroney, and I’m proud to call the Western Slope of Colorado home. After more than twenty years practicing medicine on the South Texas coast, my family and I felt the mountains calling—and we made the move in 2021. Before relocating, I ran a thriving solo rural practice, Live Oak Family Medicine, which I built from the ground up. When Hurricane Harvey devastated our community in 2017, that chapter came to a close—but the lessons, resilience, and relationships I gained from those years have never left me.
Over my career, I’ve had the privilege of working across nearly every area of family medicine—primary care, hospitalist work, and emergency medicine. I’ve also served as Medical Director for AIM Hospice and Concentra, Vice President of the Aransas County School Board, and a member of the Methodist Healthcare Ministry. Each of these roles deepened my belief in compassionate, whole-person care. Still, the most fulfilling work I’ve found is in hormone optimization and medical weight loss—helping patients truly feel like themselves again.
My interest in hormone therapy became deeply personal at age 51. Like many women, I was told that poor sleep, mood changes, weight gain, and loss of energy were just “normal aging,” and that hormone replacement therapy was unsafe and unnecessary. By then, my weight had risen to 220 pounds, and I felt stuck in a cycle that didn’t match my effort or my spirit.
In November 2023, I began BIOTE hormone pelleting therapy, and by February 2024, I added semaglutide treatment. The results have been life-changing. My energy, focus, and confidence returned, my workouts became productive again, and my clothing size dropped from a 16 Misses to a 6 Misses. I feel stronger and more balanced than I have since my mid-twenties.
Inspired by this transformation, I decided to bring the same opportunity to my patients and partnered with BIOTE in December 2023. The following month, I opened a private clinic in Grand Junction offering both primary care and hormone optimization. Today, that vision continues to grow under a new name—AspireMD—where I help patients achieve their full potential through personalized, evidence-based care.
When I describe how I like to practice medicine, I often say, “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” I believe in empowering patients to make healthy medical, mental, and spiritual choices, and in meeting them with honesty, respect, and encouragement at every step.
On my days off, you can find me dancing salsa or east coast swing, tending my garden, or cooking something new. I love making stained glass, playing with my two dogs, and cheering on my daughters as they chase their dreams at Colorado Mesa University and the Colorado School of Mines.
