MD Total Wellness is a physician-owned clinic in Brea, CA that runs an in-person GLP-1 program with compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, dispensed the same day from its office. Semaglutide costs $199 for the first month, then $299 at any dose; tirzepatide is $299, then $399. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with no contract. It also offers hormone therapy, hair restoration and pelvic floor treatments.
Is MD Total Wellness legit?
Yes. MD Total Wellness is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 5.3/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a MD Total Wellness promo or coupon code?
MD Total Wellness has no code to type in. The current offer: First-month intro pricing: compounded semaglutide $199 first month then $299/mo; compounded tirzepatide $299 first month then $399/mo. It applies at checkout on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "MD Total Wellness promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How MD Total Wellness scores
Six columns, each one computed from something MD Total Wellness 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%

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from MD Total Wellness's own website, as of 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
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to MD Total Wellness
Against it
- Semaglutide costs $299 a month, 50% above the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $399 a month, 48% above the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Serves one state only, so check that it is yours
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
What MD Total Wellness charges
Two numbers matter here and only one of them is the price. $199 is the opening month; $299/month is what MD Total Wellness charges after that.
- Compounded semaglutide: $199 first month, then $299/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $299 first month, then $399/month
For compounded tirzepatide, the median across the sellers we compare is $269/month, so MD Total Wellness' $399 is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Discounting the first month does not change the twelve-month total by much. For scale, the dearest tenth of compounded sellers charges about three times the cheapest tenth.
Red Mountain Weight Loss dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What MD Total Wellness dispenses
MD Total Wellness prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. These are compounded preparations from a licensed pharmacy rather than approved pens, which is where the lower price comes from. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved as a finished product: the specific preparation has not been reviewed for safety, efficacy or manufacturing quality. For what differs besides the price, see compounded semaglutide vs Ozempic and Wegovy.
Safety and disclosure
MD Total Wellness tells you the 1 states it serves. We found no FDA warning letters issued to MD Total Wellness. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If MD Total Wellness will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. Once you have the pharmacy's name, 503A vs 503B explains which regulator oversees it and how to check. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Of the peptides MD Total Wellness sells, Semax is among the six in the October 2026 HHS compounding policy. It says HHS does not intend to take enforcement action against 503A pharmacies that compound them under ten conditions, and it approves none of them.
Who should look elsewhere
- You care most about the twelve-month total, not the first bill. A flat-rate seller will usually win that math.
- You would be choosing on the advertised figure. The introductory month is real, but it is not what you will pay in month three.
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether MD Total Wellness bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
- you want a cheap way to find out whether the medication suits you before committing
Our read
MD Total Wellness is a cheap way to start and an ordinary way to continue. Use the $199 month for what it is good for, finding out whether the medication works for you, and re-run the numbers against $299/month before you let it renew twice. The catch is disclosure, which is why MD Total Wellness scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
MD Total Wellness falls below our bar on disclosure. It charges from $299 a month; its compounded tirzepatide, at $399, is 48% above the $269 median among the sellers we compare.
