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.

How Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
6.6/10$149/month is 19% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
8.5/10Dispenses semaglutide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
7.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.

Support10%
5.0/10States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.

What signing up with Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2Ask Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $149. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center serves all 50 states.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Every figure here was read off Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- 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
Against it
- 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
What Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center charges
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center lists $149/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we see.
- Compounded semaglutide: $150/month
- Compounded semaglutide: $149/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center's $149 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way.
Found, at about $149/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center dispenses
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic). That is one of the most heavily studied molecules in this class. What arrives is compounded at a licensed pharmacy, not an approved pen. That is the reason it costs less, and the reason the finished preparation carries no FDA review behind it.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center at all. Set expectations on the evidence, though: the published weight-loss trials for these molecules used injections. Oral and sublingual delivery of peptides is far less studied, so treat it as a route that solves the needle problem rather than as a proven equal to the shot.
Safety and disclosure
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and that it treats patients in all 50 states. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for

- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
