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.

A telehealth consultation at $100 comes first. After it, compounded semaglutide opens at $150/month with refrigerated shipping to the home and the drug both covered, and follow-ups cost $40 at intervals of 1-3 months. Texas patients are the only ones who can use the online program at present, though the chain itself spans 64 locations over 10 states doing hormone and weight-loss work. Counseling on nutrition and lifestyle, clinical support that continues, and dosing set for the individual are part of treatment.

Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $149 a month, 19% below the $184 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
SynergenX Health
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping

- 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
