Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center review
Costed plainly: $250 a month for semaglutide, $325 for tirzepatide, $149 for the oral version, from a clinic with an address in Oakland, Maine and free Wednesday consultations. Then there is a $100 line item that should stop the calculation — "Add Retatrutide to your current Semaglutide or Tirzepatide regimen." Retatrutide has no FDA approval for any indication and is still in phase 3. There is no labeled dose to budget for and no safety data to weigh.

How we scored Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center
Each factor is read off Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center's published pricing, disclosures and intake flow, and the six roll up into the 42/100 Rx-Readiness Score on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Tiered or opaque — the true monthly is hard to pin down up front.
Limited or state-gated availability — confirm yours first.
Not a two-molecule plan on the published facts — switching may mean starting again elsewhere.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation path that isn't published.
The hardest start to fit around a workday — a scheduled visit, or no published answer either way.
The weakest showing on speed — a slow published timeline, or none at all.

Checked on 18 August 2026. A physical clinic at 8 Water Street, Oakland, Maine, serving Central Maine, with a named physician, free Wednesday consultations and no contract. Compounded semaglutide is $250 a month by injection, tirzepatide $325 and an oral GLP option starts at $149; a promotional banner separately advertises a $150 starting dose. Those four figures are not in conflict — they are three products and a promotion, worth stating because the obvious reading is wrong. What does need naming is a $100 line on the same page: "Add Retatrutide to your current Semaglutide or Tirzepatide regimen for just $100/month." Retatrutide holds no FDA approval for any indication and remains in phase 3 trials, so there is no approved product behind it, no labeled dose to plan around, no labeled safety profile, and nothing published on combining it with a GLP-1 already in use. The site carries no terms of service, privacy policy or telehealth consent across twenty-one paths tried. No compounding pharmacy is named. It screened clean against the live FDA warning-letter index.

HSA/FSA generally applies to GLP-1 telehealth; confirm with your plan. These figures are Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center's public disclosures at last review and change often; confirm the current number on Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center's own site.
What we like
- A clinic with a street address, a phone number and a named physician
- Free consultations every Wednesday afternoon; no contract to sign
- Three products priced separately, so each figure is attributable
- Afterpay for qualifying patients
- An oral GLP option from $149, roughly 40% under the injection
The caveats
- Sells retatrutide, unapproved for any indication, as a $100 add-on to an existing GLP-1
- No terms, no privacy policy, no telehealth consent — twenty-one paths returned nothing
- One clinic in Central Maine, so travel time is part of the cost
- No compounding pharmacy named
- GLP-1s share a menu with laser body contouring, TRT and a house supplement line
- The $150 "starting dose" banner is promotional and not a monthly figure
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center for working moms: our verdict

The medications Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center prescribes
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide. Availability of both does not guarantee that switching is appropriate or that a new evaluation is unnecessary. For any compounded option, confirm the dispensing pharmacy and formulation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished products.
An oral or sublingual option is listed. Confirm the exact product: an FDA-approved oral medicine and a compounded oral formulation do not have the same approval status or supporting evidence.
Where Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center fits — and where it doesn't — for working moms
Right for you if…
- you want a straightforward semaglutide and tirzepatide program and will confirm the details before you commit.
Not your best option if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen and insurance navigation.
Trust, safety, and the fine print
Before enrolling with Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center, confirm the clinician, the dispensing pharmacy, and how to reach the care team between refills. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing working moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
Discuss pregnancy plans and breastfeeding with your clinician before starting or continuing treatment. Product-specific recommendations differ; this program review cannot establish that a medication is appropriate for you.
The bottom line
Choose Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center only when the ongoing cost and care arrangements fit your needs. Ask for the next charge, the cancellation deadline, and a contact for treatment questions before paying. Compare the same drug, supply period, and commitment across providers.
The bottom line for working moms
Best for: A working parent in Central Maine who wants an in-person clinic and will decline the retatrutide line.
