The first thing you notice when you step inside Mint Med is the sense of calm. Warm wood tones, layered greenery, and natural textures create an atmosphere that feels grounded and intentional. Light moves softly across the room, and almost without realizing it, the pace shifts. This is a space designed to help you relax.

“This is exactly how I wanted people to feel when they walk in,” shares Erin Huff, Mint Med’s chief operating officer. “Peaceful. Balanced. At home in their body.”

That feeling is no accident. Mint Med, a newly opened luxury wellness, medical aesthetics, and surgical center off Mason-Montgomery Road, reflects years of vision and experience from Erin and her husband, Dr. Roderick “Matt” Huff. Together, the Loveland residents have created a practice that blends physician-led care with thoughtful design and a concierge-level experience. It’s a place that prioritizes long-term wellness over quick solutions.

“This isn’t just where we work. It’s where we live,” Erin explains. “We wanted to create something that genuinely serves our neighbors and reflects the way we believe healthcare should feel.”

At Mint Med, that belief is rooted in trust, education, and time. Appointments aren’t rushed, conversations aren’t scripted, and care is never one-size-fits-all. Erin observes that many patients arrive feeling overwhelmed by trends or unsure of what they truly need.

“Our role is to guide, not pressure,” she emphasizes. “We want patients to understand their options, feel confident asking questions, and make decisions that align with their long-term health, not just what’s popular right now.”

Where Calm Is by Design
Mint Med’s design philosophy draws inspiration from wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic that values simplicity, balance, natural textures, and quiet beauty.

“It’s not about perfection,” Erin explains. “It’s about things feeling grounded and real. Nature isn’t perfect. It’s beautifully imbalanced.”

That sensibility shows up throughout the space — from deep wood finishes and earthy materials to greenery woven seamlessly into the environment. In the wellness room, soft seating and textured acoustic paneling create a serene setting for IV therapy, where an indoor waterfall gently flows alongside a Himalayan salt wall, adding a subtle sensory element that enhances relaxation. Even the lighting, warm and intentional, reinforces the idea that this is a place meant to restore rather than overstimulate.

“We didn’t want anything flashy,” Erin adds. “Luxury, to us, is calm. It’s down-to-earth. It’s a place where you can leave the outside world at the door.”

Expert Care at Every Step
Behind the peaceful atmosphere is a strong medical foundation. Dr. Huff is a double board-certified physician with specialized training in obesity medicine and extensive experience in hormone optimization, regenerative medicine, and medical aesthetics. He has previously operated a boutique med spa and brings years of physician-led expertise to Mint Med.

“At Mint Med, everything is rooted in a whole-body approach,” Erin notes. “It’s not about trends or extremes. It’s about long-term balance and sustainable outcomes.”

That philosophy is especially evident in Mint Med’s focus on awake cosmetic surgical procedures, which are performed personally by Dr. Huff with precision and comprehensive physician care. Designed to be less invasive, these procedures allow for easier recovery while maintaining the highest standards of safety and clinical excellence.

In addition to surgical care, Mint Med offers physician-led medical aesthetic treatments, regenerative skin health therapies, and personalized wellness and longevity services. The goal isn’t dramatic transformation, but enhancement that feels natural and supports patients through real life.

A Long View on Wellness
As parents of 10 children, Erin and Dr. Huff naturally think in terms of longevity. “As parents, we think in decades, not quick wins,” Erin shares.

That long-term mindset shapes how they approach aging, wellness, and sustainability, reinforcing their belief that healthcare should adapt alongside life, not compete with it.

“Your body changes. Your needs change,” Erin says. “We wanted a place that supports people through those seasons.”

Erin’s role as both COO and mother brings a deeply personal perspective to patient care. She understands firsthand the physical changes that come with aging, stress, and responsibility, and the value of having trusted, accessible care close to home.

Personalized Care with Deep Community Roots
Mint Med’s concierge-level model is designed to feel personal and unrushed. Patients aren’t treated like numbers. Education is prioritized, and care evolves over time.

That intentionality mirrors the Huff family’s deep connection to Loveland. Of their 10 children, 9 have either graduated from or currently attend Loveland City Schools. Dr. Huff has served on the board of NEST Community Learning Center, and both Erin and Dr. Huff have participated in NEST’s Dancing with the Stars fundraiser, each earning the top fundraising award.

“For us, Mint Med is an extension of our values,” Erin says. “Family, service, and community matter.”

When the Space Serves the Care
Across Mint Med, treatment rooms are designed to be patient-focused. Facials and skin treatments are delivered in spaces that feel practical and comfortable, with red light therapy panels integrated to support skin health and recovery without disrupting the experience.

“The environment should support the medicine, not distract from it,” Erin explains.

That approach keeps the focus where it belongs: on care that feels clear, intentional, and easy to navigate. Patients know what to expect, understand their options, and feel confident.

Designed for care that feels personal, Mint Med is best experienced firsthand.
