Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center review
Everything about this clinic invites trust: an address you can actually drive to in Oakland, Maine, a physician with a name, free consultations on Wednesday afternoons, no contracts. And then you reach the pricing page: "Add Retatrutide to your current Semaglutide or Tirzepatide regimen for just $100/month." Retatrutide is not FDA-approved for anything. It is still in phase 3 trials, and here it is being sold to add on top of what you are already taking.

Company website
Read on 18 August 2026. This is a physical clinic at 8 Water Street, Oakland, Maine, serving the center of the state, with a named physician, free Wednesday consultations and no contracts. Compounded semaglutide costs $250 a month by injection, tirzepatide $325, and an oral option starts at $149; a separate banner advertises a $150 starting dose. Those figures look contradictory and are not: three products and one promotion, and I say so because the easy mistake is to file the clinic as incoherent. What does need naming is on the same page. It offers retatrutide as an add-on: "Add Retatrutide to your current Semaglutide or Tirzepatide regimen for just $100/month." Retatrutide has no FDA approval for any indication and is still in phase 3 trials, so there is no approved product behind it, no labeled dose, no labeled safety profile, and nothing published about combining it with a GLP-1 already in use. The site also has no terms, privacy policy or telehealth consent: I tried twenty-one addresses. It names no pharmacy and came back clean in the FDA warning-letter index.

What we like
- A real clinic: an address, a phone number and a named physician
- Free consultations every Wednesday from 1 to 6, and no contract
- Prices the injection, the oral version and tirzepatide separately
- Afterpay for those who qualify
- The oral option starts at $149, well below the injection
The caveats
- ⛔ It sells retatrutide, which the FDA has approved for no indication at all, as a $100 add-on to a GLP-1 you are already taking
- There is no legal page of any kind: no terms, no privacy policy, no telehealth consent. I tried twenty-one addresses
- It is a single clinic in Central Maine, so it only works if you can get there
- It never names the compounding pharmacy
- Weight loss shares the menu with body laser treatments, testosterone therapy and an in-house supplement line
- The $150 "starting dose" is a promotional banner, not what you pay each month
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center for moms: our verdict
Everything about this clinic invites trust: an address you can actually drive to in Oakland, Maine, a physician with a name, free consultations on Wednesday afternoons, no contracts. And then you reach the pricing page: "Add Retatrutide to your current Semaglutide or Tirzepatide regimen for just $100/month." Retatrutide is not FDA-approved for anything. It is still in phase 3 trials, and here it is being sold to add on top of what you are already taking. It runs about $250/mo — pricier than the category, so the extras have to earn it.
We looked at Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center the way moms actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start — the parts a generic weight-loss review skips.
What Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection: $250/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection: $325/mo
- Oral semaglutide — Oral GLP therapy: $149/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price on our list is around $179/mo, so Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center sits at the pricier end.
That price covers the consult and the medication.
The medications Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center prescribes
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center lists semaglutide and tirzepatide. Offering both gives a prescribing clinician options, but PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes alone does not establish which medication is right for you. Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products. Confirm the exact formulation and dispensing pharmacy; an approved brand’s trial results do not establish the quality or equivalence of a compounded product.
If you prefer an option without needles, check the exact product offered. FDA-approved oral semaglutide tablets have their own clinical trials and prescribing labels. Compounded oral or sublingual products are different: they are not FDA-approved and cannot be assumed equivalent to an approved tablet or injection. Ask the clinician about the formulation, evidence and instructions.
Where it operates. Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center lists its coverage as: A Central Maine clinic; no wider coverage published.
Where Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center fits — and where it doesn't — for moms
A good fit if…
- you want to discuss the right timing around pregnancy and nursing with the prescribing clinician; confirm who provides your care and how questions are handled.
- you want to discuss both semaglutide and tirzepatide with your prescribing clinician.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand-name pen with its own pregnancy and breastfeeding label.
Trust, safety and oversight
Before choosing Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center, confirm the dispensing pharmacy and the clinician responsible for your prescription. Public information alone does not establish the quality of care you will receive. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formula — we explain how we score oversight in our scoring methodology.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding need separate discussions with your clinician. GLP-1 weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, the exact drug and formulation matter: Wegovy tablets are not recommended because of the SNAC absorption ingredient. Injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide labels call for weighing benefits, risks and the limits of infant-safety data; they do not establish that treatment is safe for every nursing parent. Compounded products do not inherit FDA approval from the branded drug. Discuss your own medication and timing before starting or changing treatment.

The bottom line
Best for: A mom near Central Maine who wants a clinic she can walk into, and who is going to say no to the retatrutide.
