About Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center

Start a semaglutide dose and it costs $150; the monthly plans below that open at $149, with no contract and scheduling you can set weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Three GLP-1 molecules are written, semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide, each as an injection or a sublingual ODT, the orally dissolving tablet that matters if needles are the obstacle. The clinic sits in Oakland, Maine and sells telehealth countrywide. Dr. Gillis leads it, board-certified as physician and surgeon, 25-plus years into gut health, and a serving member of the Maine State Medical Board.

Pros & Cons

Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center

What we like

  • Semaglutide costs $149 a month, 19% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • Serves all 50 states
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center

Watch-outs

  • Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
  • Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
  • Its menu lists retatrutide, which FDA says cannot be used in compounding under federal law and has not been found safe and effective for any condition
