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 it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
6.7/10$149/month is 21% below the register median of $189 for compounded semaglutide.
Effectiveness25%
8.5/10Dispenses semaglutide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
7.5/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information; publishes its state list. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
10.0/10Publishes coverage in 50 of 50 states.
Support10%
5.0/10States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.
A seller that will not show a price before an intake loses points on Value and carries that note in its review. Withholding the number is itself a finding. How we score →

What signing up with Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center involves
Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.
- 1Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
- 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
- 3Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
- Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $149. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
- Coverage is published for 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 at $149 a month, within the normal band around this register's $189 median for the same drug and form
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Against it
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
What Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center charges
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center lists $149/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we track.
- Compounded semaglutide — $150/month
- Compounded semaglutide — $149/month
Across the GLP-1 providers in our register the median standing price is about $169/month, so Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center is genuinely under the middle rather than merely advertising that it is.
Found, at about $149/month, is the closest thing we track to a like-for-like alternative.
What Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center dispenses
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic). Between them these are 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 demonstrated equal to the shot.
What we could verify
On the record: it treats patients in all 50 states. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. Because the medication is compounded and no dispensing pharmacy is named publicly, the single most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. A seller that will not answer that has told you something. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Nothing here is the approved finished product.
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
- you need access regardless of where you live
Our read
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center competes on price and does it without an obvious sacrifice elsewhere: $149/month, no warning letter on file, and access that is not unusually restricted.
