Category GLP-1 telehealth Molecule Semaglutide · Tirzepatide Form Injection Dose pricing Rises with dose From From $200/mo Dose published Yes Prescription Required Pharmacy Not named The center is a private clinic at 8 Water Street in Oakland, Maine. Its weight-loss pages describe semaglutide and tirzepatide injections. The site also markets retatrutide, which is investigational, not FDA-approved; FDA says it cannot be used in compounding under federal law. It also sells oral weight-loss medicines, peptides and testosterone therapy. Telehealth appointments are offered alongside clinic visits. The clinic does not bill insurance. It takes HSA and FSA cards. 1. ## Who writes the prescription, and what do they see? The prescriber is Dr. Gillis, an osteopathic physician and surgeon licensed in Maine. The site states he holds privileges at MaineGeneral and St. Mary's. Consultations are free, every Wednesday afternoon, with no appointment needed. The patient brings pre-screening and consent forms to that visit. The evaluation for tirzepatide is stated to happen on site. Treatment can start the same day as the consultation. Staff teach the first injection in the clinic and observe briefly afterward. The remaining injections go home with the patient. Staff will give the weekly injection in the office on request. A follow-up visit comes before the last injection in each supply. 2. ## What happens when the dose goes up? Dose changes are made at the follow-up visit, after weight is reviewed. The site states a micro-dosing approach: the lowest dose for the shortest time. A linked pricing sheet lists higher charges at higher semaglutide and tirzepatide doses. The sheet does not specify how much treatment time each charge covers. Confirm the prescribed dose, supply and refill cost with the clinic. 3. ## What the price includes Semaglutide is $200 a month on the Medication Info & Pricing page. No long-term contract is required. Tirzepatide starts at $300 a month on the same page. A linked sheet lists semaglutide from $225 and tirzepatide from $325, with a $25 cash discount. That arithmetic matches the page headlines, but the sheet does not independently state a billing interval. Confirm the payment method and total before treating either headline as your ongoing bill. The FAQ lists a discount for paying in cash, a referral credit and a rewards program. A lower figure on the homepage is a Seize the Deal voucher. Treat that voucher as a promotion, not the monthly price. 4. ## What it claims, and what it cites The site does not say on the pricing page whether its [semaglutide](https://thisglp.com/research/semaglutide-cochrane-review) is compounded or branded. The FAQ says compounded [tirzepatide](https://thisglp.com/research/tirzepatide-vs-semaglutide-which-works-better) can be discussed for eligible patients. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. No pharmacy is named. ## Where it holds up, and where it does not - Strength: The prescribing physician is named - Strength: Free walk-in consultations every Wednesday - Strength: No long-term contracts are required - Strength: Injection teaching in the clinic - Limitation: No pharmacy is named - Limitation: Semaglutide supply type is not stated - Limitation: Clinic visits are in Oakland, Maine - Limitation: Dose-price sheet does not state the supply interval ## What the evidence says about this kind of treatment The assessment above is about Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center.
